Timber
I feel like I’ve had the shit beat out of me.
Last night, we had a hell of a storm. My woman said to me, “you’re not going to believe this, but it is snowing.� I turned on the eve lights and, sure enough, it was snowing. About 30 seconds later, it started hailing, and I mean really hailing, and blowing about fifty. I know fifty, because I spent many years racing sailboats. It was blowing the squirrels out of the trees.
I have a 5-year-old oak tree, conceived by an acorn, right next to my house. 25 feet tall, with a 4-inch trunk .I left it there to monitor its growth.
That tree was bent double from the wind, which means my power lines were about to be ripped from the side of my house. It was whipping around like a teen-aged boy.
I grabbed a saw, and headed out to cut that fucker down. Once outside, the hail is slamming me like get out of town…I needed body armor, because I’m under attack by God. Relentless. I’m sawing as fast as I can…the hail is slamming me as fast as it can…I’m barefooted and cold, but that fucker came down…all I had to do was saw it three quarters of the way, climb up several feet, and yank with all my might. That fucker came down all right…right on top of me. My ass was lying in a flowerbed with a fucking adolescent Oak tree that had me pinned.
It would’ve been quicker to use my 12 gauge, but my central heat and air unit would now be history.
Anyway, I love to shoot down trees.

Running Underwater
Reboot Boy is a guy who works in a typical office. He supports "end users", not with application support, but with Microsoft Windows operating system problems. All he does all day long is say, "Reboot" or "you need to power off". Application support requires a real technical person to get involved. Then, the real technical person calls Reboot Boy for yet another technical assessment - which always requires another Reboot.
I must be missing something - these people spend more time rebooting than working.
I have a dedicated Linux box I use for a firewall - I've booted it once in the last 7 years, 2 months, and that is because I lost power. My goal was forever. Missed it by no fault of the operating system.
I also have a Database server running Linux, an Application server running Linux, and a Data Warehouse running Linux. They have never required a reboot. This stuff will run underwater.
The damn things are like the Energizer Bunny - they just keep going and going and going and running and running and running.
You can't do that with a Windows box.
One thing, in a nutshell, is that the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is PART of the operating system in Windows...in Linux, it is not...so in Linux, you just kill the misbehaving application (the GUI), and restart it. The operating system never goes down.
Now, why didn't I think of that?

Open Your Eyes
This is a must read post.
...I think the world must finally take a step back and take a hard look at (i.e. profile) who wants to do us harm... not what they might use to harm us. The real weapon is not a thing a person might smuggle on-board a commercial flight... it is the person doing the smuggling...

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

Maybe If…
…that fucking pussy Jimmy Carter had parked some B-52’s on top of Tehran in November of 1979, and issued the ultimatum: You release the 66 Americans you took hostage, or I’m going to kill about 12 million (population of Tehran) of you motherfuckers…and if I can’t do it by carpet bombing, I’ll nuke your ass. Do not fuck with me…your call…you have 24 hours.
It can be argued that the sacrifice of the few outweighs the sacrifice of the many.
Would the world be different today?
That crisis started the first Islamic revolution of modern times, which has brought the world to the brink of some Bad Bad Juju.
