I'm working on making this a daily affair. I never really liked to write in my actual journal daily, but I would do "catch up" entries that would be pages... pages of illegible crap about the girl that I liked or the dumb crap happening at school. I regret not writing about my feelings. I will attempt a more emotionally charged approach.
I'm told I am quite opinionated, I suppose that's a good thing. My wife thinks I'm gonna die an early death thanks to how excited I can get at little things. For example, Shakespeare, I HATE Shakespeare! What a tiring form of entertainment. Iambic pentameter... really!?! The constant back and forth of love triangles that are hard to identify with because they go on for years! Maybe it was harder to "hook up" back then so if you found someone with all their own teeth maybe you would want to invest a large portion of your life (2yrs = 10% of the average life span for some of those people) trying to land that catch.
As for his popularity, I blame the plague. Think about it, would you go stand in the mud next to a urinating goat or whatever to watch some people prance around a stage speaking lines you might not be able to hear over the rest of the crowd... I would, but only if the alternative was sitting at home in my filthy shack awaiting death by consumption or the like.
Lastly, Shakespeare being "timeless" in the sense that his plays can be performed in any time period (my High School did The Two Gentlemen of Verona, or maybe The Merchant of Venice in 70's disco style) doesn't showcase his talent, I would say it points out his lack of talent! Now, it was a clever twist to **Spoiler alert** leave Shylock with the conundrum of only being able to take a pound of flesh if he did not also spill blood (which could be done mind you). Sorry, where was I... Oh, talentless, he doesn't bother with a time setting like "long ago" or "in the year..." but does that mean any story that lacks a time setting is timeless... I think not.
This rant is one that reared its ugly head while my wife was trying to peacefully watch A Midsummer Night's Dream. There is a scene where some Nymph is telling how she got to where she was or how tired she was (that part of my brain instantly died for having listened) by giving a long list of the things she had traveled over, or under, or across, or around, or through, and the list just kept going on and on and on... How about, "dang I'm tired" done, move on!
Remember, just because these are my opinions do not make them correct, however, in this case they ARE correct.

"Pills are goooooood" - L. Christmas
Some of you may know I have been sick for a few days now (over a weekend so I haven't missed much work but I'm sure some people view that as an extended weekend) and just got some medicine to help the symptoms. I open the package of nasal decongestant and with no surprise popped two out of their bubble wrap and easily swallowed them with a touch of water. If Dr. Hart is reading this it might come at some surprise to him that I was able to accomplish this task, swallowing a small tablet. Michael was not always a MD mind you, he was once my roommate. After one of my stunts which hadn't ended quite as I expected, I was laid up with a need for taking what I would consider some large pills. It seems fitting that he has gone into Emergency medicine you see, no warm fuzzy bedside for him, he just tells you what he sees, tells it as it IS!
As I said, there we were, roommates, I in the kitchen over the sink and he lazily reclined on the couch trying to drown out my whimpers of dreadful anticipation as I stared down this behemoth of a pill. It must have been the size of my thumb, my thumb to the 2nd knuckle! It took me about five minutes to summon enough courage to conquer the compressed powder foe sitting there in my hand. I drew in a deep breath so I would have 30-60 secs before I loss consciousness once this horse pill had lodged itself permanently in my esophagus. I put the pill on my tongue and began to slowly fill my mouth with water. I hesitated, swallowed, but alas, the pill was still in my mouth! Now beginning to taste the sickening bitter flavor of medicine I wondered if it was worth it. I decided to just go for it... I started gulping wildly at the water which, as expected, took up residence in my throat atop the now partially swallowed and stuck pill. Water spewed out of my mouth with the rush of air from my lungs, so quickly out, so so slowly in. I wheezed in some air and let out a yelp which went unanswered. I mustered the ability to weep, "I'm dying" to which Mike replied, "You're not dying if you can talk"... I guess he had a point as I'm here writing this today.
Fast forward to present day. I open my 2nd pack of drugs and the aforementioned story and emotions came flooding back! There they were, a "tin foil" backed package of overly large pills mocking me. Sure these are different drugs, but locked in the same infernal delivery system!
Not wanting a repeat of the scene of nearly a decade earlier, I decided to ready myself. I closed the door to the dishwasher so I could make a clean break out of the kitchen, I moved a chair near the phone so I could attempt self abdominal thrusts before dialing 911 on the land line hanging on the wall. I decided it would be best to use milk to escort the pill down as opposed to water since the harbinger of death came sans gelatin coating from this drug manufacturer! I then gave it the first go... same result as ten years ago, my tongue filtered out the foreign object. I decided to add some distraction to the mix, a bowl of cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats to be exact. The theory of all the little sharp edged half chewed flakes and clusters would allow the pill to pass my tongue seemed like a perfect solution! I pored the bowl, coarsely chewed the cereal, drew a similarly deep breath, loaded the pill onto my tongue, grabbed the drink and gulped with all my force.
What happened next is so anti climactic I contemplated not writing any of this at it. The pill was swallowed without drama. The second pill followed the first with even less effort.
Once my breathing slowed and the adrenaline had passed I calmly replaced the chair and sat down, happy to be alive but dreading that 12hr dose recommendation.

Journals in 2010
I can see the value of keeping a journal for my kids, and their kids, etc... But how best to keep one in 2010? Do I use this, a blog, as a journal or maybe some other sort of software to make a digital one, or do I go "old school" and use paper and a pen?

Parkour... really
1st of all it's Free Running (mostly cuz I'm not french) because Parkour is basically the same thing and 2nd all "extreme" sports carry risk of death, hence "extreme"! For heaven sake, one of the pioneers died doing it... it's dangerous. But it doesn't have to be!
I've done just about all of the "extreme" sports growing up and was landed in the hospital only once (roof of a 3 story building jump) when I missed my air bag... dumb luck that. And after learning that you can quickly get into a lot of trouble and get hurt or die free climbing I turned to boldering and top-rope climbing for added safety.
So some 15yr old kid falls from a parking structure and the news jumps on this as the latest deadly fad propagated by the evil internets! Sacramento News Seriously?! It's sad that the kid died, any loss of life, ESPECIALLY of youth, is tragic. However, if it was due to a poor choice then why wouldn't the responsibility fall on the youth who made the bad choice and not on the fad? What if the next fad was juggling flaming chainsaws and some kid thought it would be cool to try and killed or dismembered himself. Would it be the fault of the fad, or the internet... nope, the person who thought it was a good idea to light a running chain saw on fire and toss it up in the air, followed by two just like it... duh!
I think the best way to pay respects to this kid and all those like him would be to learn a little of his sport! Next time you're walking somewhere take a detour over a park bench or up the retaining wall. Jump around like a little kid, jump and roll off of something tall.
Why would anyone do anything like this you ask? The best reason was given by my then 4-5yr old nephew, "It makes my hair go up!"

Really LVM, really...
So we're doing some work on a server, and like always, the work must be done in the wee hours of the AM. So I'm working away creating LVM2 volumes and everything is going well. I'm even following what seems to be "best practices" by not using the raw device (dev/sdb) but instead creating a partition first then using that for LVM. On one of the servers I created a 600GB partition on (/dev/sdb1) which is basically the entire "disk" (its really just a fibre volume that can be expanded later but whatever). I create the LVM side making a LV of only 500GB to give me some wiggle room in the future... when the users say "oh no, the drive is full" I can tell them that if I work really hard and they pay me lots of OT I can maybe find another 100GBs in there somewhere... like that episode of ST:NG when Scotty is beamed aboard instead of some expendable crewman, long story short, Geordi tells the Cap. that Problem_A will take x hours to fix, Scotty asks "how long will it really take to fix" and is amazed that Geordi didn't pad the time (x * 3 or x * 5 etc.)...
Like I said, one server worked fine with a 600GB disk, the other server however, is getting an upgrade from 1.8TB to 3TB. Well, as you know, you can't use fdisk to make a 3TB partition, you must use parted and the partition has to be a GPT. Well, when you make the PV everything seems fine, then you make a VG and do a pvdisplay and everything goes FUBAR!
You see, we're forced to us an OS version that is a little old... okay, REALLY old. We are on Fedora Core6, the current version (as of this writing) is 13, and they don't use the "Core" anymore! So there is this little "bug" in LVM that has been fixed since 2007ish (yeah, it's mid 2010) that is causing me some troubles...
A pvdisplay shows that only 1024 GB are usable and 8647 EB are not usable... I know it's late but it actually says EB (exabytes). To put this in prospective, it is postulated that the whole world (including iPods, Digital Cameras, laptops, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, etc.) in total is using less than 1000EB. So there is over eight times the world's total digital storage not currently usable on my server! I'll admit I was a little shocked it was not usable ;)
After some googling I found a bug report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=365741) over at RHLE saying they will fix it in future builds. Well the bad news is, to use a newer build (one where that problem is fixed) I will need to completely rebuild both systems... now where am I going to get that kind of user downtime?! The good news is the bug report says it should just be an error in reporting and there is a work around (the work around didn't seem to work) so I decided to move forward and finish building out the volume. I'm writing this as I watch 700GB of data get copied over to the new volume... wee.

How to improve your email etiquette [from Yahoo's Shine]
From the post found at Yahoo's Shine
Change the subject line every time you start a new conversation. The email subject line should tell the reader what the message is about. So if an email strand about “next Thursday’s meeting” suddenly morphs into a discussion about “Mary’s retirement party,” consider changing the subject line. Having descriptive subject lines helps people quickly scan their inbox to decide which messages to read first and also helps when searching for a message after a conversation has ended.
Don’t use email when another medium makes more sense. Use email only when it's the best method. In many work cultures (like at Yahoo!), instant messaging is popular for quick conversations and sending links back and forth. If you know a colleague is on the road a lot and more likely to see a text message than an email, then use text messaging. If you know someone is at her desk and might not check an email about a meeting change in half an hour, the old-fashioned land line might be the best choice.
Answer questions inline. When someone sends an email asking several questions, train yourself to reply inline, inserting your answers directly beneath each question. (Hat tip to Gina Trapani).
Don’t get the last word in. There is usually no reason to cap off a long exchange with "thank you" (and certainly, "you're welcome"). An email conversation has to end at some point.
Use the cc function sparingly. Try to cc only those who need to know and avoid cc-ing long lists of people unless it is important that everyone know who else received a message. Certainly don’t use the cc function if you don’t want people on the list to know the names of the other people receiving the same message.
Keep it brief. When was the last time you read a work-related email and wished it was longer?
Ask whether people prefer attachments or inline pasting. Many people dislike receiving attachments, but it's good to ask someone's preference if you're going to be sending documents back and forth. Consider tools that allow two people to share and work on a document together rather than attachments. I’m a big fan of Google Docs for this purpose. Gina Trapani turned me onto two other tools -- Zoho and Approver -- that also allow collaborators to share documents.
Give up cutesy handles. Try to stay as close to your name or a shorthand for your name as possible. "Purtygrl" might be just fine for your online dating life, but give it up when you're corresponding about work matters.
Use personal email for personal correspondence. That includes job searching.
Say no to chain letters and jokes. While the rare forwarded email evokes a smile or a warm feeling, they are mostly irritating. And while you expect those emails from your batty aunt, you don’t want to be getting them from professional contacts.
Avoid shared email addresses. Do not share an email with a spouse or partner (either the professional or the business kind.) Grown-ups should have their own email addresses.

The Truth about Tea (Green Tea)
I'm not trying to change anyones mind about if one should drink Green Tea or not, but it is interesting to know some of the following...
Looks like Green tea benefits mostly males but since you share some of the problems that Green Tea has been proved to ease then you may want to talk to a doctor about it. It seems that it has an effect on reducing the risk or prostate cancer and can lower the levels of bad cholesterol in your blood (the kind that causes heart attacks). It also has been found to fight the onset of rheumatoid arthritis in rats.
For all of you Mormons (I am one too) it should be said that the Word of Wisdom (or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_Wisdom) seems kinda questionable when it comes to tea... it talks about "Hot Drink" but never tea by name. Joseph Smith said, "I understand that some of the people are excusing themselves in using tea and coffee, because the Lord only said 'hot drinks' in the revelation of the Word of Wisdom .... Tea and coffee ... are what the Lord meant when He said 'hot drinks.'" citing Joel H. Johnson's (1881). Voice from the Moutains (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor Office) p. 12; cited in Church Educational System... Remember that the time of this quote the tea that was most prominent in the US was Black Tea, not Green Tea which is processed much differently, the latter keeping the antioxidants that are removed during the processing of the former, Black Tea.
The current version of the "Church Handbook of Instructions" (page 185) says, "The only official interpretation of 'hot drinks' (D&C 89:9) in the Word of Wisdom is the statement made by early Church leaders that the term 'hot drinks' means tea and coffee. Members should not use any substance that contains illegal drugs. Nor should members use harmful or habit-forming substances except under the care of a competent physician." Saying that things that can cause a habit should only be used with doctor supervision (go ask a doctor about Green Tea, if he/she says drink as much as you want then I guess that is your "pass", just don't ask about drinking Wine, he/she may say it's good for you). What is the difference between a manufactured drug that must be recommended by a doctor and the food that the drug is derived from being recommended by doctors as a good part of ones diet?
Here is the best statement (in my opinion) about meat consumption not tea, "Apostle George Teasdale taught the same thing [eat meat sparingly], and held that eating pork was a more serious breach of the Word of Wisdom than drinking tea or coffee." - Thomas G. Alexander, "The Word of Wisdom: From Principle to Requirement", Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 14:3 (1981) pp. 78–88. Looks like no more Ruth's Chris Stake House, or Black Angus... and doesn't this mean that the Jews were right about pork? I wonder what other things can be learned from the Kosher laws?
And lastly Heber J. Grant said, "I am not going to give any command, but I will ask it as a personal, individual favor to me, to let coca-cola [sic] alone. There are plenty of other things you can get at the soda fountains without drinking that which is injurious. The Lord does not want you to use any drug that creates an appetite for itself." He was talking about Coke specifically but I think says it best with the part about no habit forming foods... that would include chocolate (Peanut M&Ms) sugar, fats, etc... all are habit forming and lead to shorter lives! I only like the taste of Coke once in a while, so good thing for me, no habit there!
Looks like Tannic Acid is bad stuff but seems only tied to Black Teas and tree bark... and along with two other ingredients can guard against SARS! Cool, Black tea to help fight terrorism?
Tannic Acid is a form of Polyphenol which is found to have health benefits but only when consumed in moderation (as much as is in 5-10 cups of tea) and caution should be used when taking supplements with concentrate Green Tea extract as large doses of Polyphenol can mess up your liver. Notable sources of polyphenols include berries, tea, beer, grapes/wine, olive oil, chocolate/cocoa, coffee, walnuts, peanuts, pomegranates, yerba mate, and other fruits and vegetables. High levels of polyphenols can generally be found in the fruit skins."
Remember, I'm not trying to say Tea drinking is right or wrong, I'm just pointing out that it seems if Tea is something that should be shunned based on the "Word of Wisdom" then maybe some of those other things like meat consumption or anything that can cause a habit, should also be shunned and personally "enforced" with the same gusto as the personal enforcement of not drinking Tea.
Food for thought.
