justadminnit / July 24, 2014

Trying to listen to an audio book from Audible.com on your Ubuntu machine?  Spare yourself the pain, and just ask to cancel and get your money back.  They have no plans to help you.  I hope I can one day edit this post with some good news, but until they they are in bed with proprietary operating systems of the…

How to Use Echolink (QTEL) on Ubuntu 14.04

justadminnit / July 17, 2014

Thanks to Joe for actually searching the solution(s) and emailing me.  I figured we should publish this for others.  I figured worst case scenario, I would probably need to log these solutions for later when I forget, ha.

justadminnit / June 4, 2014

Today after reading an article about how the fruit company plans to introduce continuity as an innovation, I just chuckled to myself. Again, the fruit folks are sitting there watching all the innovation going on in Ubuntu and scrambling to try to take the ideas, recode them on their own locked down proprietary systems, and implement them for profit. As…

Making Skype and your Mic Submit under the power of Ubuntu 13.10

justadminnit / April 2, 2014

It’s sad that we’re even using Skype on Ubuntu considering it’s owned by a company with zero interest in open source… but alas, some habits die hard and we don’t want this little program to prevent you from realizing that Ubuntu is, by far, the best thing that will happen to your computer life (and other parts as well –…

How to Make Your Big External Drive an Ubuntu Studio computer With a Big Storage Drive Accessible by Any Ubuntu Computer

justadminnit / February 13, 2014

I was given a big hard drive by my friend so that I could start using Ubuntu Studio (‘USTUD’ from hereon in) and working on some audio. The challenge was that when I installed USTUD on the drive it could only really be used as a self contained computer. I thought it would be useful to have the option of…

Ubuntu Touch Poised to Enter Market with New Smart Phone Partner

justadminnit / December 30, 2013

It is not often that one can be slightly ahead of a major change or curve.  I like to document these moments in a blog post.  Bit Coin was my last one.  People thought I was crazy to accept Bit Coin at my coffee shop and just a few months (not years) afterwards people were coming back and asking, “how…

Echolink for Amateur Radio: Why is it still the best kept secret?

justadminnit / August 18, 2013

I’ll admit that I’ve been a weekend warrior ham man for too many years.  I’m definitely not the guy to have the right to complain about anything based on my participation in the community. That said, my name is VE7CAK and I’m back.  And I’m here to stay – God willing and the creek don’t rise.  Special thanks to VA7OBI…

Ubuntu – How do you Pronounce the Word Ubuntu- Part 2

justadminnit / June 4, 2013

You may have read my first article called ‘How Do You Pronounce the Word Ubuntu?’   It got no shortage of fame and created such a controversy out there that I had to fend off the Paparazzi with my bare hands and sleek ninja style. I like to tell myself that anyways. What matters is that the subject is still relevant…
