Ok, this is technically not a "website suggestion or feedback", but it is relevant.
I was on my way to work this morning, reading the August Linux Magazine on the subway, when I came across an article on an interesting utility called "ifplugd". It was basically exactly what I'd been looking for for my laptop: a simple manager for my network connections. Anyway, I was about to move on to the next article when I noticed who the author was: our own Jeremy Garcia.
I would like to applaud Jeremy on his well-written article. I rarely look at the authors of articles (sorry, just the way I am), but I'm glad I noticed this one.

Well, color me impressed! I do not take any magazines on general principle (they tend to end up lying around, unread, until the baby gets to them, whereupon they get shredded and thrown out or recycled as baby poo), but I'll have to talk to the wife about finding room in the budget for a subscription!

That article was actually the result of jtshaw bringing up ifplugd on the first episode of LQ Radio. If you haven't listened to any of the LQ Radio Show's yet - now is a great time
