More About Me...

Hi, my name is Harlem and this is the companion website for the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast. I am the host of the show and along with my co-host Peter, we do a somewhat weekly account about anything that has to do with Ubuntu. Thanks for dropping by the site. Feel free to have a look around and click on some of the great links on the site. Enjoy!

Another Tid-Bit...

One last thing - I started the podcast in July of 2006, and we have been going strong since then. Initially, it started as my first forays into linux, but now has grown up a bit by delivering the best news, how-to's, and tutorials - all with a bent towards the Ubuntu distro. Subscribe for free using iTunes or other podcast receiver. Thanks again for dropping by!

GTD Primer Ogg File

Lots of exciting things going on the the world of Ubuntu this week, the beta is out and you can just about hear the bugs squashing that is going on and will be going til the release. I can say this that usually around this time of the release cycle that there is a lull in the news relating to Ubuntu which I like to think of it as the calm before the storm. So, instead of the usual news segment, we have a hybrid of sorts where we talk about links that we discovered since last week. I have also sprinkled in a few bits of news and announcements, namely the release of the beta which is old news since it was released last week. Better late than never I always say:) We also had a special guest this week who provided us with a “getting things done” primer. His name is Michael Ramm and can be followed on twitter. He talked to us about a few things we can do to start ourselves ont he road to GTD nirvana and pionted us to his blog Black Belt Productivity. He was a great guest, which most of my guests are and we were lucky to have him. Well, I will let you go to peruse the wonderful links that we have gathered, have a good week.
