Food, Wine, and Linux may seem like a strange combination, but combining three passions can be a wonderful thing. I'm Marcel Gagné. Those of you who read Cooking with Linux, the multi-award-winning column that appeared monthly in Linux Journal magazine for 10 years, likely agree. With the help of my faithful waiter, François, Restaurant Chez Marcel serves up the finest in Linux and open source software paired with exceptional wines.
In that same spirit, this site features great Linux and Open Source software, ongoing wine tasting reports, recipes, and the occasional restaurant review. If you came here looking to read past Cooking with Linux columns, you'll find newer releases on the front page, a comprehensive list here and under the "CWL, The Column" menu link to the left. A votre santé! Bon appétit!
Tales from the computer crypt - Part #1
A few days ago an individual brought in a couple of computer systems into our shop complaining that they were slow and noisy. We noticed that the power supply fan was clogged with dust, so we opened the case in order to clean the computer completely. Much to our surprise we found cobwebs and dead bugs inside the system (we were tempted to joke with the customer about spiderman gumming up his system, but thought better of it).
Even worse, a live bug crawled out of the system... Since this encounter we've decided that if anything crawls out of your system while we're cleaning it there's a $10 surcharge.| Attachment | Size |
