Happy Halloween from Doc!

Or rather, Doc’s shadow!

It’s Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade time!

Ubuntu 9.10 was just released and I’m sure many Doc’s Tech Notes readers are eager to update their desktop, laptop or netbook – as is Doc! Need to know more about this update before installing? Click here.

Doc’s here to make things easy and today I’ll provide the steps necessary to accomplish an upgrade, on a current Ubuntu 9.04 install, with just a few clicks of the mouse. I'll also share the method using a single Terminal command. No need to wade through that whole “download the .iso and burn to cd or install on USB” hassle!

Google Wave Accounts

I recently received my Google Wave invite and it is an interesting technology; however, without additional folks, it’s kind of lonely. So here’s the deal. I have 19 invites and I am going to share 9 of these invites with Doc’s Tech Notes readers. All you have to do is leave a comment below and tell me how you would use Google Wave to support your Blog or collaborate with Doc’s Tech Notes. The top 9 responses (as judged by me) will receive the accounts. Take some time and formulate a response. Land grabs will be ignored.
