Chilled Ubuntu
I never thought I’d be putting Ubuntu in the office fridge, but that’s exactly what I’ve done today. Ubuntu cola is a fair trade certified cola drink and it has a cool name, so we got a case of it for the office. Working for us may not be be healthy (you sit at a [...]
Funny Penguins and Other Print Advertising
For the last few months we have been regular advertisers in a number of UK magazines including Linux Format. Print advertising is an interesting “game”.
