Sustainable Living
Over the last year I've been increasingly interested in sustainable living. More on this to come, but for now here are a few interesting websites worth checking out:
And, of course, a big part of sustainability is reuse:
The movie that kicked all of this off for me is Garbage Warrior (http://www.garbagewarrior.com). The first preview I saw didn't catch my attention at all. I probably wasn't ready for it, and for sure it's a serious head-first primer for most people, but check it out.
File Size Alarm
This is a useful little script to check for mail files which are over a particular size, in this case 1800 MB.
Executed daily by Cron, it notifies me by email of any files which exceed the limit.
Bye bye Blogger, hello WordPress
As of today, I've switched to WordPress from Blogger. This was spurred by Google's decision to end FTP support. I'm sure the technical reasons are very compelling for them; even from this end the process of republishing my modest blog became more drawn out and unreliable each time due to the ftp transfer.
One Very Important Thought
Now that the show is over

Or Else What?
Last week I once again received a heartwarming, personal message from the Dalai Lama. That he would take time from his many responsibilities to send out a message of kindness and love is really quite touching.

I don't know what it is, but my boss has a knack for calling me when I'm either on the phone or on the throne, and I have a sixth sense to take my cordless with me.
Yes, I talked to my boss from the shitter.
Shh.....
Forever Indebted?
Am I the only one stunned by the lack of gratitude for this goodwill gesture? I'm glad my government and others are willing to aid other countries in need, but enough is enough. When MY tax money is being wasted and/or funnelled into corrupt governments, then forget it. Furthermore, we're talking big dollars.
