Howdy, y'all.

2009 already!

To think I've been using Ubuntu and contributing to the Ubuntu/FLOSS community for 5 odd years now. We've come a long way.


♘ I've been experimenting with a blog (It's not something you see every day)
♞ I also host a small wiki
♘ I am also on twitter, if anyone wants very sporadic tweets.



I've also been keeping busy with a rather eclectic forum.

Forum members can enjoy:

♠   Their own OpenID
♣   Their own online photo album
♥   Their own blogspace at http://Their-user-name.novarata.net
♦   Their own personal web based news feed aggregator
☽   Access to a URL shortening service (like tinyurl)

The Novarata forum is OpenID enabled.
Feel free to join us there.
























Saiga conversion and AK build assistance info:
If you are in the Houston area, I can provide you the tools and help you with your Saiga conversion or AK kit build.
A few pointers:
• I do not do any of the work. I'll show you how to do it for yourself, using my tools.
• I am only able to assist those with 100% receivers. I have no flat bending equipment here.
• I do not have any refinishing or welding equipment, so I'm only able to help with the "basics" of a conversion.
   I do know some local folks who can help you with your refinishing, if desired.

• I now have a press jig for the removal and re-installation of front sight blocks and gas blocks.

If you need a quick chat while you're converting YOUR Saiga, feel free to give me a ring. Call any time you wish - if I'm not available, it will go to voicemail.

I've also been facilitating the unofficial chat rooms for the Saiga-12 forum and the The High Road forum.

I am now mirroring a 922r checklist for the Saiga rifles and shotguns.

I have recently put up a mirror for the Romanian Kalashnikov Rifles website that was formerly hosted at gunsnet. I'm not sure what happened over there, but this resource is now available here on Novarata.net.
