Just freakin installed 13.0 on my computer yesterday!

Thanks Patrick! ;)

That was awesome, thanks for the link!

We only live about 75 miles north of Kennedy Space Center, and yesterday was a nice, clear day. We went outside and watched the launch, as we do most of the shuttle launches. It was kind of sad, realizing this was the last time that orbiter would be launching.

I had pizza in Italy, in different cities, purchased in different restaurants, and you know what? It just wasn't that good. Most of the time I ended up mopping up copious amounts of olive oil from the top.

To be brutally honest, the best pizza I've ever had was right here in the good old U.S. of A.

At my desk:
One computer two displays (for work)
Four computers, one display (through KVM switch, for me!)
One computer, no display
One laptop, one display

At my wife's desk (a few feet away from mine):
One computer, one display

In the living room:
One notebook
One netbook

I just measured my total book shelf space. After doing the math, I am totally blown away at how many "linear shelf feet" we have:

Four book cases, five shelves each, 27" of available space on each shelf = 540 inches.
Two book cases, six shelves each, 28" of available space on each shelf = 336 inches.
Once book case, four shelves, 22" of available space on each shelf = 88 inches.

Total linear inches of available shelf space = 964
Total linear feet of available shelf space = 80.33

The really bad news is some of these shelves have two rows of books on them :-(

The first four and last one book case are filled with novels, do-it-yourself books and other entertainment-type books. The middle two book cases are filled with computer books, top to bottom, sometimes two rows of books per shelf.

I was in the U.S. Navy for 15 years. I've been lots of places, mostly to Naples, Italy though :-(

at 72 F, but the wife over-rules me. She compromised at 76F.

I totally agree. I used to program for a living, now I'm a middle-ware systems engineer on Unix systems, for a large U.S. corporation. I get to work from home, play in Unix and Linux all day, make a pretty good living, and still code for myself.

Am I a billionaire? hardly. Do I enjoy my life a bit more then I did? Most assuredly.

Too bad ssh wasn't an option... I spend about 90% of my work day connected to remote computers via ssh, or executing remote commands via ssh and scp.

Next to ssh, I probably use the grep command most often. At work, I'd estimate I use grep almost 10x as much as find.

HaHa, that's funny!

I'm from Florida, we have four seasons as well:

Spring: March
Summer: April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
Fall: December
Winter: January, February

My wife and I recently celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary (July 20th - anniversary of the first moon landing :-D ). She's a math and space geek and I'm a computer, ham radio and space geek. We did no special planning, read no manuals, just did it.

Sometimes you have to stop over-analyzing things and just do them!
