We went and visited Winchester the Capitol of England once upon a time. To Joanie's pleasant suprise it also contains the grave of Jane Austin.

A very cool place that requires a short hike to get to. Makes for a fun Saturday. Entrance has been closed off so no walking down into the tomb.

This is the handiest little Utility I use.
I had to reinstall it and took me forever to find the link again. This way I won't loose it again and maybe someone else will find it worthwhile as well.

This is a great clip.
It is scary for me to think that the US is actually considering government funded health care. Now that I live in Britain and in socialized health care system I can attest to it's uselessness.

Rose's message misses the point - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN:
"As for athletics, it’s our responsibility to raise kids willing to be led by men we trust and respect. We can’t be upset that some coaches — white and black — don’t want the hassle of doing a job God intended parents to do."
This is one of the best quotes I have seen.

Again another post on a topic I encounter all to often. Why Microsoft deams hiding the Container Object a good idea is beyond me.

Gmail back soon for everyone - Official Gmail Blog
I was not affected by this gratefully. However, I find Google's approach of complete openness to be refreshing. Instead of trying to mask it or be closed lipped about it they are up front clear.
Reason I use google.

A Chicago School Accomplishes Feat of Sending All Seniors to College - FoxNews.com
This is no small feat. In my mind this should be front page news. When so much negativity seems to be in the news about teachers and our school system, this really should make the headlines.
Congrats to this kids.

2010 Recap
7:54 AM
Adam Fisher
Dear Friends and Family,
2010 was an amazing and crazy year.
January – On January 13th Gabrian John Fisher was born. Unlike his sister, he eats everything and anything all day long. At one point he was 24 pounds to his 4 year old sisters 32. He loves to give hugs and always gets excited when Kora walks in the room. Kora is a wonderful big sister.
May – We made our first trip to Disneyland the first week of May. Kora loved meeting the Princesses and visiting Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow. We visited Santa Monica Pier and Newport Beach during our week long vacation. The fun thing was a month later, Joanie and the Family joined Adam back in Malibu, California for two weeks during a work engagement. Needless to say by the end of June we were tired of Hotels.
July - In the middle of July, Adam applied for a new position in Europe. At first we thought, “Wouldn’t that be an adventure”, but in August things started to take shape and we flew back to California and interviewed for the new position. After careful consideration of leaving the “Land of the Free” and with much thought and prayer we made the decision to accept the new position in October. With a start date of Mid-January, it did not leave us much time to make arrangements. With Adam traveling for more than half the year and flying to Germany twice since October, Joanie still managed to pack up the house and we are now on our way to Jolly Old England. We then sold our house in seven days and have either stored, shipped, sold or donated all our earthly possessions and we now realize we are never buying anything ever again…. Oh, wait! We have to buy new furniture once we get there….
September- Kora also started preschool this year and loved her teachers and making new friends. She will miss them but is excited about the new friends she will make in England. Kora enjoyed being on center stage twice this year as she performed with her dance class in May and December.
December- Gabrian continues to grow and is now crawling and standing wherever he can. He loves to laugh and is a blessing to us every day.
We hope you had a great holiday and have a wonderful New Year. We look forward to the next time we meet. Please let us know how you are doing.
Love,
The Fishers

Compare two files output difference

I have been wanting to actually write this down so I don't have to create this every time I need it.
This is fairly fast on large files but could take awhile depending.
diff /root/systemaccounts /etc/passwd | grep "^>" | cut -d: -f1 | sed 's/> //' >> /tmp/uniqueuser

Travel Tips #1 How to get more legroom on your next flight

My advice is also this:
1. Board early so that you get your luggage in the overhead bin first.
2. Unless they make you, put both your bags in the overhead bin. It is amazing how much leg room you have when you don't have a backpack between your feet.
3. Get an aisle seat. Everybody thinks the window seats are the best but honestly you are just smashed up against the window. An aisle seat easily gives you 3-4 inches of leg room,even if it is just for one leg.
