Well I decided to keep this site as it is and setup a subdomain on another domain for my picture a day photoblog. I used pixelpost on still.thepurg.org(my photoblog site). I am hoping that I can keep with it as I go a long. I also setup a flicker account to host sets of images. That url is flickr.com/nearn. So far the post popular set is defcon, I am not suprised at all by that.

I also about a new camera. It is a Holga and is by far the worst camera I have ever used but it takes such bad pictures that they actually turn out kind of cool. Here is a good example and just so happens to be the first picture on my photoblog.

As of the late few week I am finding my self listening more. Listening to people stories, people on the radio, listening people behind me at the coffee shop and at the restaurants. At this moment I am listening to “This American Life” on KUER/NPR about 2 men who went down the path of homelessness so that they can focus on there poetry. Its become an addiction just like my computer work and taking pictures. I enjoy this new outlook on life. It’s very becoming.

This little script check to see if irssi is running and if so it attaches to the screen session running irssi. If irssi is not running then it creates a screen session and starts irssi.

##############################
#! /bin/bash
#change from 'ps ax' to 'screen -ls' 
#in the following line by Jeremy Freeman
IRCSCREEN=$(screen -ls | pgrep irssi | wc -l)
if [ $IRCSCREEN = 0 ]
then 
    echo "Starting screen and irssi"
    sleep 2
    screen -S irssi irssi
else
    echo "Attaching to irssi"
    sleep 2
    screen -d -r irssi
fi

Today I finally decided not to put this off any longer. I finally set up Synergy with OS X and Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I forgot how awesome and simple synergy is. I also cleaned my desk. This will only last for a few days so I took a picture of it (with the camera on my phone).

p.s. Dead people can still receive snail mail spam.
