What I’m thankful

Posted by on November 24, 2011

It’s Thanksgiving day in USA, and while I don’t get the day off, I did want to write down a couple of things I’m thankful.

  1. The Fedora Project. I run Fedora 16 on my laptop at home and at work, as a Media center at my Dad’s room, and Fedora 14 powers both my brother’s and my dad’s laptops. I really like the Fedora as my base of operations.
  2. Android. And Cyanogenmod. And all that’s in between. My phone (Currently a Galaxy SII) and my Tablet (Nook Color) are both powered by CM builds I’ve modded and built on my laptop. I like tinkering with my devices at the source code level.
  3. KDE. This one’s a surprise to me, as I’ve never really liked KDE, but given the options of Shell or a hard place, I chose the lesser of two evils, and I’m happy I did and am sorry it took so long for me to switch.
  4. Having a job that I like. While my job does not consist on creating Free Software (That would rock!), I do get to use Fedora 16 at work, and happen to run the RHEL/CentOS/Solaris servers that need maintenance. Not using Windows at work is a blessing.
  5. Friends and Family. I’ve met a lot of people, online and off, and there’s a lot I can count as my friends. I’m thankful to have met every one of you, but I’m specially thankful I met, Laura, my girlfriend.

It’s been quite a while since my last blogpost, lets hope this brings me up to the habit of blogging more often.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

CyanogenMod, Development, Fedora, Free Software, Rant

    I love how you made it a numbered list with “Friends and Family” 5th right after 3 software projects and your job. :razz:

      WordPress doesn’t let me count backwards from 5 to 1, and it’s not really a priorities list, just a list of things I’m thankful.

    Saludos comunidad CLABSOL!!

    Mi nombre es Manuel Escudero y escribo para el Blog de Xenode Systems; Disculpen mi intromisión, pero quería comentarles algo:

    En ésta ocasión les escribo para pedirles su colaboración en un concurso navideño
    que estoy realizando en mi blog, teniendo de premio un GiftCode para el Humble Indie Bundle 4 con 12 Juegos y sus soundtracks; Los detalles se encuentran acá:

    http://xenodesystems.blogspot.com/2011/12/regalo-humble-bundle-4-12.html

    ustedes mismos pueden participar si así lo desean y lo que les pediría como
    apoyo es que publicaran un post en sus blogs mencionando el concurso, si quieren
    poniendo un enlace al link que les pongo arriba o explicándolo todo, como mejor les
    parezca. Ésto con el fin de que haya más participación y sea más diversa la cosa ;)

    Si no tienen tiempo de escribir me bastaría con una compartición del enlace en
    las redes sociales, si pudieran. Gracias y nos estamos leyendo!

    Felices Fiestas.
