GiM in April Twin Cities Business

Posted March 26, 2009

Thanks to our friends Dee Forsberg Voss and Gerald McCullagh (Golf Institute at The University of Minnesota), we are featured in the April 2009 edition of Twin Cities Business magazine. Dee and Gerald publish a golf blog on the TCB site called Tee Up that is full of great information. Be sure to check it out (and add it to your news feeds).

I didn’t know about this story until today, so this is as good a time as any to take down the winter hibernation post and resume normal publication. We were teased by early course openings last week, but the snow and cold has returned. Stonebrooke claims on their Facebook page that they will be open again this weekend, but the forecast is still a little cold for my taste. Be sure to watch the course openings page at TwinCitiesGolf.com to get the latest news on your favorite courses.

Lingon created plist seems to load on restart, but not as root. Permission issue?

Got dreaded “network is down” calls this morning, but it was really just a power outage; new bad-ass switches still bad-ass

Old Photo Scans

Posted March 25, 2009

Today I decided to upload all of the old photos I scanned a few months ago to the photo gallery here on 7 Minute Miles. Most of them had already been uploaded to Facebook, but I only allow people on my Facebook friend list to view photos on that site. These are available for all to view and have the added benefit of a link below each photo to download the original, full-sized file.

Lots of great memories in there…
