Wordpress is a way better blogging tool than this Blogger stuff. Blogger isn't bad, but man I'd love to see some stats. Then I could be sure that nobody is reading this :)
If nobody is reading this, then moving to Wordpress is no big deal :) Though I gotta figure out how to move the old posts over easily.
I've already created it, I just need to make up my mind

Using 'screen' on Linux
A friend of mine at work, Greg Fast, introduced me to 'screen' while we were locked away in a conference room for 3 weeks. We took over the conference room to do a "Lan Party" of sorts. The idea being, you get a few dedicated developers in a room and we all work together, without interference, to accomplish the mission. But I digress...
Screen is very cool, especially if you're ssh'd into some remote server for a few hours and can't pop up new terminals all willy-nilly. The simplest use of Screen is to have a few terminals going inside one shell.
To get the most use out of screen, it's best to have this config setup (I stole it from Greg):
Save this little snippet as ~/.screenrc.
What does this config do you ask?
Well it puts a bar at the bottom of the screen that shows you how many 'screens' you have going. You can rename them and switch between them using ^A0 ^A1, or just ^A^A to cycle through (the ^ meaning CTRL).
That string full of goofy characters and symbols? Well that's a typically Linux pile of undocumented gibberish that only the most uber of geeks will ever know to use. Passed down from generation to generation...

deflogin off
startup_message off
#screen -t "random" 0
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= KW}%-w%{= gW}%50> %n %t %{= KW}%+w%< %{= kG}%-=%{-}'

On my way to Spring Experience '06
I'm stuck in O'Hare...
My flight was supposed to be at like 7:30 CST. It's been delayed twice. I'm not scheduled to fly until 9:18.
So I try and pick up a wireless network. I see a solid connection to the 'concourse' network. It is the in-house wireless network available. Well, of course, it's not free. Luckily I know how to use my blackberry as a modem and can get a connection through that. Thanks Vinay! It's not a bad connection 100k according to the excellent speed test at InternetFrog.
So, now, I'm scheduled to depart at 9:18 and arrive in Miami at 1:18. The plane is pulling into the concourse as I type this. So, as my new favorite video blogger - Zefrank - says, "It's fire eagle danger day"...
