It’s that time of year again! Ubuntu 9.04 is on its way. For a list of new features click on the Ubuntu icon. Why do I mention Ubuntu before each release?

Next week is the end of Winter Semester 2009 here at BYU-Idaho. It also happens to be my last semester as a student here. That’s right–I’m graduating. I’ll be a graduated student with a degree in Computer Information Technology. It’s been a good semester, as well as a good experience.

With so much fraud and problems with security on the internet, it’s sometimes hard to know if a file you download on the internet is what you think it is or not.
