Summary: <p>Welcome to the relaunch of the Cyberpunk Librarian podcast!</p> <p>I’m back on the airwaves, or at the very least a wireless router or two, with a new podcast that’s pretty similar to the old podcast. As much as I love video and making videos, I find I just don’t have the time right now to roll them out as I’d like to. Meanwhile, I can make a podcast in an hour or so, and that’s start to finish. (Plus a little time to create an outline and stuff, but that can be done over the course of a week.)</p> <p>On this, the first episode of the relaunch, we’re going to talk about writing a book and paying nothing for software!</p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.kubuntu.org/">Kubuntu Linux</a> – Probably the easiest way to get Linux and KDE.</li> <li> <a href="http://kate-editor.org/">Kate</a> – The text editor for KDE.
