I’m super excited about beta-testing the Slack desktop app for Linux. I really like Slack (custom emoji should be a feature in EVERY tool).

My highschool electronics teacher was quite a character. He had a calm and gentle demeanor, accompanied by a lilting Texas drawl (that was somewhat unique in this small northern California town). During one class in which everyone was working on small group projects, he was having trouble getting everyone’s attention. All of a sudden, frustrated, he belted out loudly, “HELLO WALL!”
