What A Bear Market Might Teach Us is well worth reading.
So I know what it means to scrimp and save, to do more with less, even to do without. The most important lesson that I learned, I believe, is that money is not wealth. Benjamin Graham once wrote that the secret to happiness is learning to live well within your means. Did he mean to “live well” within your means, or to live “well within” your means? I think he intentionally left the sentence ambiguous.

I love this album cover, found via LP Cover Lover:
i wonder where that places Wernher von Braun or Goddard?
Leahpeah has been doing a great job putting up photos around the new place. Yesterday we found a pile of old photos, including this gem of my ex-cat:
More in the Ché gallery.
If my memory is correct, I’ve spent Thanksgiving in California, Louisiana, Virginia, Utah, and the Philippines. Today I’ll spend Thanksgiving in Nevada with a bunch of family who probably also have never spent Thanksgiving in Nevada. Hoping for the best.
The photo above is of my Grandfather and me and some dogs—the Collie mix is Kimba, a dog I loved, and who was not quite as excited about me. I was the first grandkid on my Dad’s side of the family, so he was not impressed.
My Grandpa turned 90 this year.. Thanksgiving in Nevada is his wish, and so here we go!
So much to be thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Simi Valley’s Border 7 provided a wonderful reskin of venturacountytech.com. If you are in Ventura County and in web/tech/design/internet/mobile drop me a line—I’d love to meet you!
For the past year I’ve ramped up my own tech networking. Someone asked on the excellent and long-running Web405 list for places to network a la VIC (Venice Interactive Community) of the old days (late 1990s) and these were the answers:
The move was completed without too much fuss. Upcoming: Job interviews, more box extraction and home setup, Thanksgiving, seeing my folks, and a memorial for a dear friends wife.
The Universe may be speaking to us. I wish it spoke more clearly, but hey, it’s the Universe. Size of the entire universe man, usually kind to smaller man.
It’s all about boxes. Moving today. Moving. Oi. I think we need it. To top it off, we’re waiting on 5 weeks worth of checks. I hate that. Wish us luck.
This morning I had a compile that was hanging and/or calling itself. This made the server, and more importantly, the “yes people use it” webserver unresponsive. This was not fun.
Here are the tools I used to kill the processes:
ps -aux | grep -i make | awk '{print $2}'
ps -aux | grep -i make | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps -aux | grep -i make | awk '{print "kill -9 "$2}' |sh -x
killall make
The final 2 commands I think did the best job.
I seem to be learning more server administration. I still don’t like it, but I can do more of it if I need to. Maybe installing Xubuntu on my machine at home really has been useful as I spend more time on the command line.
