These days it is difficult to talk politics with folks who are on the opposite side of your view for the simple reason that many people will not consider rational arguments against or produce rational support for their view. Ideology seems to trump reason.
I find Doc’s post, “Pectoral order“, an interesting one. He [...]

For various reasons I find myself in Windows land frequently. I got a new XP box a few months ago and did not install Cygwin until just yesterday. I forgot how much it helps me in simple operations… diff some files or grep for terms within files, etc., to say nothing of having [...]

I’m actually just testing photo uploads and what better picture to use than one of a smokin party from last year at the Jimmy Buffett concert. From left to right: Pat, Joe, Leigh Ann (in the back), Christie, Vicki, Kerri (my lovely wife), me (in the back) and Katie. So many interesting things [...]

I didn’t want to leave out that the smokin FreeBSD team has made [...]

I tried to sleep a bit so my brain would work but the damn gadener from next door had the selfish notion to work while I am trying to sleep. Where does he get off? Also, some clueful person told me that I misspelled “crupe” in my earlier post. What? I [...]

Up til midnight, sleep. Up at 2am, back asleep by 2:30. Up at 4am, still up. I must admit that it is nice to work when no phones are ringing but I’ll be approaching the wall much earlier today. So, being that I’ve now put in 4.5 hours of work, it’s [...]

You guessed it, Abs has the dreaded “crupe”, a nasty cough resembling the sound I always imagined would occur as a lung travels up and out of your body. Her voice really does remind me of Kathleen Turner though and it sorta trips me out.
Mama asked the doctor and the doctor saaaid, [...]
