Interesting presentation on data ownership, and the usual general discussions.
Enjoyed hanging out, and the 'after party' at burger continental.

Just a shell script I wrote to be able to distribute files in one file to many directories.
Created it because my one directory of digital images was getting too big, such that it was slowing down image viewer startup.
distributeFiles.sh
***
#!
#
# distribte (by using mv)files from a source directory
# to collection of target directories (by using a for loop)
#
# distributeFiles.sh
#
if [ "$#" -lt "3" ]
then
echo "distributeFiles.sh
exit
fi
ARG_ARRAY=( "$@" )
SOURCE_DIR=${ARG_ARRAY[0]}
#echo "SOURCE_DIR[$SOURCE_DIR]"
unset ARG_ARRAY[0]
#for i in "${ARG_ARRAY[@]}"
#do
# echo $i
#done
ARG_ARRAY_LENGTH=${#ARG_ARRAY[@]}
#echo "ARG_ARRAY LENGTH is $ARG_ARRAY_LENGTH"
AAL=1
#
# Get list of files to distribute
#
for i in $(ls $SOURCE_DIR)
do
if [ -d "$SOURCE_DIR/$i" ]
then
continue
fi
#distribute to the distination directories
#echo "mv \"${SOURCE_DIR}/$i\" ${ARG_ARRAY[$AAL]}/."
mv ${SOURCE_DIR}/$i ${ARG_ARRAY[$AAL]}/.
AAL=$((AAL + 1))

Went to the SGVLUG general meeting last night.
Had a great presentation on WINE, the windows compatibility softare, running on a recent Ubuntu.
Then went to Burger Continental to pig out. Had a garlic chicken pita, salad bar, and chocolate cake with cherry ice cream and a Dr.Pepper.
3000 calorie nirvana.
Was great fun.
Yay to my fellow members of the sgvlug.
The power supply on my Debian PC failed a few months ago.
A sgvlug member donated a 400w ATX power supply this weekend. Installed it, and now my little workstation is back!
yayness - karma feels good sometimes.
Proud Slashdot 10 year anniversary T-shirt owner.
My LUG, SGVLUG (sgvlug.org) hosted one of the Slashdot anniversary parties. I attended.
Got one of the very nice T-shirts!
Congrats to Slashdot on their anniversary, and look forward to celebrating the 20 and 25 year ones, too!
Cranking along merrily with JCL and mainframe stuff today.
With your bare hands?!?
