 My Cooking with Linux column in Linux Journal won the 2008 Readers' Choice Award for favorite column. This is the sixth year in a row that I've won this award (thus making for 8 years undefeated). My sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who cast their votes my way.

If you came here looking for back issues of my computer articles, you should find those under the "Writings" menu (I'm working on getting all the old articles online or providing you links to wherever they are currently displayed). If you are trying to keep up to date on the computer stuff, consider signing up for my WFTL newsletter and you'll be among the first to know anytime a new article is posted. (There is also a WFTL LUG that you might also be interested in.)
François was designed by the amazing Robert Karlsson, courtesy of Linux Journal. My thanks to both for putting a face (and species) on my faithful waiter. Many of you come to this site looking for Linux information and there is a lot here. I've just recently added a new page to the site, a collection of Linux success stories for anyone who may be asking themselves whether Linux has a place in their business. In business, saying "Linux rocks!" (and it does) is not enough. You need evidence and references.

Among other things, I am the co-editor of the super-cool TransVersions anthology. If you like science fiction, fantasy, and horror, then you must get a copy. You can also order it online from Chapters .ca

As to what else you'll find here . . . well, I'll hype other vanity pages from friends of mine and take you around and show you things I like.  You're even allowed to tell me what you think of all this!  My email address is mggagne@salmar.com. That's the cool thing about being a writer and assuming that people will read what you write.  Sometimes, the readers will write back!
