You see, I’ve been an Ubuntu user since version 7.04, or maybe 7.10. I can’t remember anymore. Either way, […]

Mattias Ahlvin Posted on December 30, 2016

As I do my best to come up with fiction that is interesting to read, the bit about transferring what’s in my mind to a sentence, a paragraph, a page, a chapter and then finally a book, well, that part is also very important. After all, without writing, there wouldn’t be that much around to […]

Mattias Ahlvin Posted on June 13, 2014

My Google Chromecast arrived yesterday and although I still need to write up a proper review (tonight or tomorrow), the one piece I wanted to mention right away concerns the Chromecast and Ubuntu.

Mattias Ahlvin Posted on April 23, 2013

Within days, the official release of Ubuntu 13.04 will be available.
