Labix

Welcome

Greetings, and welcome to my laboratory.

If you see something interesting here, please bear in mind that I was part of the Conectiva team from early 2000 up to August of 2005, and I'm part of the Canonical team since September of 2005, so these projects are directly or indirectly sponsored by one of these companies, or even both of them in succession. Also note that a single bird makes no summer.

Occasionally I post something on the blog, on Google+, and Twitter too, so you can stay up-to-date with what's going on if you wish to.

I hope you have a nice time here, and please let me know if you need something.
