Miscellaneous Ramblings

Deep fried my first turkey this weekend, also had the first family holidy meal in the new house. Turkey was awesome, best money I’ve spent on cooking appliances in a while, and fast too. Good thing though the weather was nice otherwise might have been a real chore. It was great having everyone at the house even if some special people couldn’t make it.

Some guys either have too much time on their hands or some sick xmms/winamp plugins… They syncronized their house xmas lights to a kickin’ tune by Transiberian Orchestra. ((link removed)) X-10 and the grizwalds surrender.

I nabbed this from off google to solve the same problem. You are using screen and you disconnect and come back later and all your ssh auth sessions are broken. I modified it a bit to be friendlier about locations.

if [ ! -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then
    screen_ssh_agent=/var/tmp/${LOGNAME}/state/ssh-agent-screen
    if [ "$TERM" = "screen" ]; then
        SSH_AUTH_SOCK=${screen_ssh_agent}; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
    else
        if [ ! -d "$(dirname ${screen_ssh_agent})" ]; then
            mkdir -p $(dirname ${screen_ssh_agent})
        fi
        ln -snf ${SSH_AUTH_SOCK} ${screen_ssh_agent}
    fi
fi

Enjoy…

Tomorrow night 7pm @ Durant Road Middle School, Parks & Rec is having a meeting to discuss the ammenities that will go in Horseshoe Farm park. If you are a disc golfer you should be there. If you want a new course in Raleigh, you should be there.

The biggest complaint I hear from golfers always has to do with the payout at this event or that event. First of all every one of you is missing the reason you started playing in the first place. If you are playing to win plastic you are barking up the wrong tree. There are alot more efficient ways to get plastic than to pay $30 and play in a tournement to try to win some.
