What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal

I was in #Toronto last week for a conference; I always take at least some of my gear for off-hours exploring. Met some grey squirrels.

Gives new meaning to parents who say their kids make them want to pull their hair out!

I've been relying on the command line more and more recently to do some quick changes on my system, convert videos, and do some server admin, and I realized I had never really made a quick tutorial on the basics of the #Linux command line, so here we go:

X11 fork, Denmark moves to Linux, Android gets more locked down
In this episode, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build
