What are you up to lately?

• Stuart – London Public Library and CBC had a big announcement last week. Trying to clean up and purge digitally and physically.
• Derek – Tuned into some local issues in Middlesex Centre lately and have been giving me feedback where asked, and where I can. Looking to launch a new service for CleverHost, still translating things into Portuguese for HostEsperto, and trying to find time to make some tweaks to CleverHost’s servers, and study up so I can take the LPIC-1 exams next year.
