Here is a little meme about a pet project I’ve been working on http://www.ubuntuwire.com , its a Custom Search engine powered by Google that searches Ubuntu Related sites so you dont have to sift through unrelated results.

Give it a Go and tell me what you think , you can either leave a comment or email me brandon@imbrandon.com , also If you would like to help me maintain the search engine be sure to drop me a note.

Here is the Ubuntu Forums thread discussing the search engine and firefox search addins too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=568271

Well after a few months ( read: 6 ) break from pretty much anything that had to do with a computer I’m baaaaack. Well mostly, I’ve decided to re-launch my website and blog starting fresh.

The last few months have been a whirlwind to say the leaste, I’ve gotten Married to my High School sweetheart 10 years after graduation, Moved into a new house, Changed employers, and a whole slew of non-computer / non-ubuntu related things, thus the time off.

Well its time to get back into the swing of things, Gutsy will be released very soon and work on the Next Ubuntu release has already started to form in the back of my mind, so with that said look out everyone imbrandon is Back.

P.S. Yes I know not all the links and such work on my site yet, that should be fixed up in the next 24 - 48 hours, if you still see something out of place after that please drop me a note brandon@imbrandon.com or imbrandon@kubuntu.org , Cheers
