I cannot decide what to do for a vacation this year, I am torn between going to this years Coachella Music Festival, or taking a backpacking trip through Yosemite. Give me feedack and let me know what you think.

Just trying to get through, busy with school and my CompTIA class and SQL language, doing a database project at work,  and incidentally there is nothing more depressing than waking up to a news story about dozens of chinese coal miners being buried alive.  Having that as your first thought of the day can change your perspective on some things.

For some reason there is a read/write permission conflict for /var/lib/mysql in a new slackware 12.2 install, which causes a “mysql has ended” error, you can remedy the error by chowning the directory. Usually to create the directory you need to run the command

So we had a Superbowl Betting Pool going on at my work, and one of our funniest but irritating co-workers won the $500 prize. The only problem was he was so obnoxious about his winning, and wouldn’t stop mocking everyone…that we finally paid him…in NICKELS!

I taught my cat to do Yoga

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, “Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days.” Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that … The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed … [However] Revelations 21:8 says “But the fearful, and unbelieving … shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C. – From “Applied Optics” vol. 11, A14, 1972

The College of Southern Nevada offers many online classes, but they don’t tell you that they have a Microsoft requirement. I am taking an SQL concepts class online with them, but they should just call the class Microsoft Server 2008 concepts, because that’s all it is. I have complained to the school and the instructor, but none of them care, and I’m wondering if this is legally actionable. We live in the age of the Downadup virus, which has something like 8% of all windows PC’s in its grip globally, but hay, I’m the crazy one for insisting on an OS that has slightly more security than a screen door.
