Gutei raised his finger whenever he was asked a question about Zen. A boy attendant began to imitate him in this way. When anyone asked the boy what his master had preached about, the boy would raise his finger.

Gutei heard about the boy's mischief. He seized him and cut off his finger. The boy cried and ran away. Gutei called and stopped him. When the boy turned his head to Gutei, Gutei raised up his own finger. In that instant the boy was enlightened.

This time, I try to stick with professional content topics only. I hope to continue giving back for all I have enjoyed in the decades thanks to free and open source software, which is a significant part of my well being on a number of levels.

Such content will mainly fall in the realm of short technical guides, HOWTO-style material, and a small knowledge base of items which I find a need to frequently reference.
