http://kaosdad.blogspot.com/2010/11/can-we-get-back-together-please.html
Put on your Big Kid pants and DEAL WITH IT! Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Can we get back together, please? How do you restart a blog? For a few years I published pretty regularly and folks actually read. Heck, it seems I even have followers I'm not paying! For some reason this feels like trying to get back together with a girlfriend I dumped. Let's get to know each other again, shall we? November 11, 2010 at 5:59 AM. Theres a reason I dont post my real picture! November 14, 2010 at 11:53 AM.

Kaos Theory: February 2009
http://kaosdad.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Put on your Big Kid pants and DEAL WITH IT! Wednesday, February 25, 2009. The Endorphin of Giving. Our neighborhood has a forum. We log on to discuss, berate, belittle, snark on and, occasionally, help out each other. Recently a post was put up about a Mom and three kids who had just made it out of the Battered Woman's Shelter and needed basics. Being the geek-pack rat I am I asked if she needed a PC. The answer was "yes.". It felt great. Oh, I got great Karma points, but who cares? Journal - Don Atreides.

Put on your Big Kid pants and DEAL WITH IT! Thursday, October 30, 2008. The 2008 Election - Seriously? It's, what, five days away? And what do we have to show for it? Sarah "I Can See Russia From My House" Palin. Great! Can you see the brigades of Soviet tanks rolling across Eastern Europe? Because that's what you'll see within six months of you taking over the White House. Chick - I'm too freaking old to be sent to France, but guess what? Where, oh where is the Dream Team?

The Life and Times of a Slacker: October 2012

The Life and Times of a Slacker. You can't pull the wool over a blind man's eyes. Monday, October 29, 2012. Prevent Users From Becoming root. As a Linux engineer I cringe when I see regular users at a root prompt. We've been trying to sort out the necessary sudo lockdowns to prevent it. We now have a fairly comprehensive configuration preventing various means of elevating one's privileges permanently. By no means is this complete and infallible. As my friend Shawn Butts. Pointed out: shell = root. Openin...

The Life and Times of a Slacker. You can't pull the wool over a blind man's eyes. Wednesday, February 04, 2009. Cripes. I don't even remember what I wrote last. I guess I should go look.bear with me. Insert Jeopardy theme here). Ok, I'm back. Baseball and the HoF. Not very relevant right now. Though I'm happy to see Varitek is going to be behind the dish again next season. His numbers might not return but at least he'll be able to control the pitching staff. It can be a bit awkward using a keyboard inste...

The Life and Times of a Slacker. You can't pull the wool over a blind man's eyes. Tuesday, November 17, 2009. On The Importance Of Not Burning Bridges. So, here I am three months after leaving Massachusetts almost to the day and I'm packing up all my stuff for yet another cross-country trek. Why? They gave me a job and history dictates that eventually I'll be able to adjust that even if it is a couple years from now. Neither proved feasible so I'm settling for moving back to Virginia. Yoiks, and away!

The Life and Times of a Slacker. You can't pull the wool over a blind man's eyes. Saturday, October 09, 2010. Beer Oh, beer. Beer Oh, beer. What have you done for me? You've made me loud. You've made me bold. You've made me have to pee. Beer Oh, beer. Why do I like you so? You've helped wash down a plate of wings. And the flames contained within. But then I had a few to many. And you set my head a-spin. Beer Oh, beer. Can I ever let you go? So many styles of brew. So many flavors to taste. Words I Live By.

The Life and Times of a Slacker. You can't pull the wool over a blind man's eyes. Sunday, June 06, 2010. In the last post I mentioned I wanted to combine the two Perl scripts into one since they are related. After some futzing about with why things weren't doing what I wanted and some bizarre output was being generated, I've finally got them together doing everything in one script:. Use Lingua: JA: Numbers;. My $len = $ARGV[0];. My (@numList, @rom, @kana, @kanji, %randList);. Binmode OUTFILE, ":utf8";.
