I'm in a weird spot in that my employer doesn't allow any of that without a pass from legal. If somehow I get tagged to their employ and happen to have a popular article (happened a couple times on Linux.com in 2003-2005 and MacApper a couple years later) I could be fired.<br>
<br>
I love to write and I love to host Linux groups and be a part of the community... I'm just not allowed right now. :(<br>
<br>
Maybe soon.<br>
