LinuxUser Magazine Columns

updated 31 October 2005

Since 2003 I've been a regular contributor to the excellent LinuxUser Magazine. The diversity of topics covered (from e-voting to Nanotechnology to open source cars) make it more like a replacement for the lamented Wired UK of old than a techie magazine. I can highly recommend it.

For a year and a half (2005-2006) I was a regular columnist for the magazine. The columns I filed are archived below.

  • Column 1 - Open Source in Poland
  • Column 2 - Transport Direct, off with it's head
  • Column 3 - Penguin Inside
  • Column 4 - Patents, licensing & FLOSS
  • Column 5 - The importance of standards in VOIP
  • Column 6 - Apple on Intel plus fake consumer electronics
  • Column 7 - Security in email
  • Column 8 - The downsides of technology
  • Column 9 - Web 2.0 services, a way out of open sourcing software?
  • Column 10 - Are basic computer courses supporting vendor lock-in?
  • Column 11 - Too many distributions are strangling Linux's success
  • Column 12 - We need standards for gadget chargers
  • Column 13 - Making consistently great products is difficult
  • Column 14 - Ethically selling services around Open Source
  • Column 15 - We should approach Web 2.0 applications with caution
  • Column 16 - Terrible Linux-based web hosting is easy to find
