If you are reading this, I am moving my blog to http://hellow.homeunix.org/blog. Commenting and all plugins have been disabled on the old blog; I’m leaving the old blog up for as long as it will stay up. All new posting will occur at my new blog. If you need a RSS or Atom feed, they are in the footer of the new blog.
Just FYI, the new blog is running Jekyll.
Having fun with HTML flat files,

This Sunday, I have done quite a many things in relation to the Ubuntu Forums Unanswered Posts Team, the team I colead. The two biggest ones are:
The addition of a official Twitter feed with associated bot placed in the IRC chat. All UA members and others interested are suggested to follow @uateam and/or subscribe to the RSS feed provided by Twitter
The addition of a official team news blog at http://ua.codechunk.net/blog . All UA members are requested to subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom of the page or, if your RSS reader does not like the method the software uses to publish feeds, you can subscribe to the Feedburner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/UbuntuForumsUnansweredPostsTeamNews . All further news on the team is to be published there. Keep in mind that the news blog is on my home server so, if it gets taken out, so will the feed. The Feedburner feed will remain, though.
That should be all for now. For those subscribed to the Launchpad Team mailing list, you will be getting a post in your email inboxes sometime later tonight.
Hoping that his home server does not crash,
Collin Pruitt
EDIT: Upon further reflection, I moved the team blog to http://ua.codechunk.net/blog . Thanks for the hosting, Jacob!

With the holiday season in full swing, I felt it would be a good idea to post about some good online resources for Christmas planning and the like.
http://northpole.com/ – This site has a lot of good resources for parents and activities for younger children.
http://www.youtube.com/holidaysolutions – This Youtube channel resulted from a partnership between Youtube and Target. The channel contains many videos on party and gift ideas, recipes, etc.
http://www.allthingschristmas.com/ – This site has many ideas around decorations, games, etc. It even has it’s own forum community.
Twitter also has a few good hashtags going for the holidays. See #Christmas and #holidays.

I would print a poster and take a pic with me holding it, but my digital camera is broken. I’ll be trying to spread this around as much as I can.
Hoping for a cure for AIDS to be found soon,

Just so everyone won’t be wondering where I went, I won’t be on very much for the remainder of this week.
We are moving to a new house, but we are not moved in yet, and my ISP switched our service over to the new house early this morning.
I’m currently typing this from my laptop at that house, just FYI. My home server, hellow.homeunix.org, went down with my connection too. It won’t be back up until I get everything set back up at our new house.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
