PAYLOAD;; issue 13

Thanks for joining me.

I took this photo many years ago

A video is worth a thousand words.

As a supplement to my teaching, I am going to start producing educational video content. Thanks to open-source software, generating this content can be done for free, and then given away. Hopefully these free pieces of material will interest potential students.

I don’t yet know what all I will cover, but I will start with the basics like making Linux install media or installing popular pieces of software. These videos will be housed on YouTube, thus freely available for one and all to watch.

Housekeeping note: apologies for missing last week’s newsletter delivery, my actual real job in cloud engineering occupied my time.
