I keep a Ubuntu related blog regularly up to date, with regular postings on kernel and system related hints and tips.

Testimonials

Steve Conklin (kernel team member and Ubuntu member) I recommend Colin for Ubuntu membership. He's a highly productive member of the kernel team and his blog is a valuable resource for the Ubuntu community, and it would be an excellent addition to the planet Ubuntu feed. -- sconklin 2009-10-23 16:01:10

Leann Ogasawara (Ubuntu member) A big +1 for Colin to become an Ubuntu member. He's a huge asset to the kernel team and Ubuntu community. His blog is by far one of the finest and most informative blogs that I follow.

Andy Whitcroft (Ubuntu Kernel Team member) +1 from me. Colin is a big asset to the community contributing to the Ubuntu kernel, researching hardware issues in sound and the like. We need his blog on Ubuntu Planet.
