Wish I'd found this sooner.

Probably a good thing none of us have to pass it.

Apparently, they've updated the test that people applying for United States citizenship have to pass. Now, the question is, how many of us who were born U.S. Citizens can pass it?

Why not take the sample test and see for yourself?

Not a bad idea at all...

A "new" technique that's more than three years old.

Today is Wallace Shawn's Birthday.

I've been doing some guerrilla blog marketing lately.

Cheap is good, but free is better.

Okay, so I'm always looking for cheap or free tools that let me develop my various web sites quickly and easily. Well, I found two that sort of go together. First, there's Firebug, which is a plugin for Firefox that lets you edit webpages. To compliment that, though, there's YSlow for Firebug, which helps you diagnose problems with your website.

I know a lot of bloggers now.

I may not "power Blogger", but I know a lot of people who do. One of them is very sweet, owns an adorable chocolate (aka brown) lab, and is a cracker jack photographer. She wrote a post you all need to read: Second Hands.
Also, read the comments. Sometimes, the comments say as much as the posts do on a blog.

Besides, I don't want to write it again.

This time, we'll restore the image we made last time
mkdir /tmp/server
mount -t smbfs -o username=my_user_name //server_name/share /tmp/server
Now, this assumes that you don't have anything installed on the new pc yet and are working with just a blank, unformatted hard drive. First, I restored the partition table and the master boot record:
# sfdisk /dev/sda < /tmp/server/images/cad1r-sfdisk-sda.dump
# dd if=/tmp/server/images/cad1-sda.mbr of=/dev/sda

Hey, I get paid to be a geek, right?
