[Ipg-smz] [Ipg-l] Linux Journal Shuts Down

[Ken Hess]

That was the one venue I was never able to crack. I wrote one short web
piece for them a few years ago. Never got into the printed mag. I could
have when Shawn was running things but didn't care at that point. It was
one particular EIC who I didn't get along with and that was when I was
interested in writing for them. A shame really. I went all the way through
the process and then he killed it at the last minute. I never submitted to
them again.

Thanks,

Ken
