Words, Words, Words--Introducing OpenSearchServer
How to create your own search engine combined with a crawler that will index all sorts of documents. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of my favorite plays, Prince Hamlet is approached by Polonius, chief counselor to Claudius, King of Denmark, who happens to be Hamlet's stepfather, and uncle, and the new husband of his mother, Queen Gertrude, whose recently deceased last husband was the previous King of Denmark.
An AI Wizard of Words
A look at using OpenAI's Generative Pretrained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) to generate text. It's probably fair to say that there's more than one person out there who is worried about some version of artificial intelligence, or AI, possibly in a robot body of some kind, taking people's jobs. Anything that is repetitive or easily described is considered fair game for a robot, so driving a car or working in a factory is fair game.
Game Review: Guard Duty
Guard Duty from Sick Chicken Studios launches today! You can get it from Steam for $9.99. It's a thousand years ago in the kingdom of Wrinklewood and you are Tondbert, a dwarf/huma-halfling palace guard.
Linux and the Multiverse
A look at the rich diversity of Linux distributions. What do Linux distributions and the Nobel Prize-winning work by Saul Perlmutter, Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess have in common? Well, Linux was originally the hobby project of one Linus Torvalds back in 1991 when he lived in Helsinki, Finland. Perlmutter, on the other hand, worked on the Supernova Cosmology Project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California in Berkeley.
Linux...Do It for the Children
A rundown of some fun and educational Linux software for kids. I'm probably going to regret that title. I've been making fun of those words, "do it for the children" for years. It's one of those "reasons" people turn to when all else has failed in terms of getting you to sign on to whatever lifestyle, agenda, law, changes to food—you name it. Hearing those words draws the Spock eyebrow lift out of me faster than you can say, "fascinating".
Game Review: Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements
Welcome, young initiate. Do you have what it takes to become a full-fledged mage? I've been playing a pre-release version of Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements, a classic role-playing game from Himalaya Studios, done in the style of Sierra On-Line's classic King's Quest series. This is only so surprising given that the people behind this new game worked on creating those classics and their remakes.
Cooking with Linux (without a Net): Backups in Linux, LuckyBackup, gNewSense and PonyOS
It's Tuesday, and it's time for Cooking with Linux (without a Net) where I do some live Linuxy and open-source stuff, live, on camera, and without the benefit of post-video editing—therefore providing a high probability of falling flat on my face. And now, the classic question: What shall I cover? Today, I'm going to look at backing up your data using the command line and a graphical front end. I'm also going to look at the free-iest and open-iest distribution ever.

Git Your July 2018 Issue of Linux Journal: Now Available

So with this July issue of Linux Journal, we take a Deep Dive in to... git.
Cooking with Linux (without a Net): Too Many Virtual Machines, i3 and ArcoLinux Redux
On this week's "Cooking with Linux (without a Net)" show, Marcel learns, in as much as he can learn anything, that you can try to do too many things at once—especially when those things really don't all want to happen at the same time.

Microsoft Buys GitHub: Three Weeks Later
I heard that Microsoft would be buying GitHub just a couple days before it happened when Carlie Fairchild at Linux Journal told me about it. I replied to the news with a solid, “Get! Out!” Needless to say, I had my doubts. As someone who remembers all too well the “Embrace, extend and extinguish" days of Microsoft, the news of this latest embrace did, however briefly, bring back those old memories.

VIDEO: When Linux Demos Go Wrong
Full disclosure; this is an edited version of a live broadcast. You've heard me say it, and warn you about it. On this occasion, I decided it would be fun to take you through a tour of Linux based music player applications. To get said music on my system, I was also going to show you how to rip music from CDs using various applications. That's when things fell apart and my desktop lost track of the CD hardware.
