Am sitting in front of a fire at my parent-in-laws' retirement cabin. The NCAA tournament is on the TV in the background. West Virginia vs. Wake Forest, just went to wva 98, wake 94.
This place is relaxing to incredible degree. With the help of my mother in law, I convinced my wife to come down to spent this coming week (spring break) here to take a serious, much needed break.
I'm writing this on my iBook, sitting by the fire via the wireless that I installed on the cabin's computer. Ah...this is the life. The wireless was a present to the parents in law, but (I admitted it to them) it was at least as much a present to me as them. Now I can do stuff on-line, and read and write e-mail on my own machine while I'm here, and I don't have to wait in line for the one computer that has the modem.
I'm almost to the Wright brothers in Taking Flight. It's interesting reading about Samuel Langley. I've always known that he was famous for failing to acheive flight with his Great Aerodrome. However, he was the head of the Smithsonian, and a very accomplished scientist. I think that lots of people expected it to succeed. He and those on his team had some excellent ideas, and they had an excellent engine. He just didn't understand structural scaling.
Hmm...not doing much, so not much to write about. I should probably stop before I get boring.
Oh; I expect I'll be writing a bit on shell permission bits at some point soon. I recently saw a presentation on bash shell scripting tied a lot of things together about it.
Have a good weekend/spring break/whatever.
