Should I Do It?
By Eaglehawk | May 15, 2008
Today was interesting I woke up at 05:00 and some how managed to get peanut ready and out the door by 05:15. Do not ask me how I managed to pull that off. I was looking around at things when I was going out to my vehicle to come home, and near my office there is a walking trail that surrounds a bayou. I happened to look down as the security guard that is on duty for the trail, (this being down town who know what kind of weirdos would be down there.) the security guard was riding his bike, and he was not paying attention, and ended up in the muddy disgusting water of the bayou.
My sister in law called me today, figured to yell at me for something I said to my brother. I was wrong. My sister in law wants me to build her, for my brother, a bar for their new home. I do not know if I should, my brother really upset me the other night. I was looking around and found the place to get the bar rails. Any thoughts on if I should do it for someone that is ungrateful and mean?
Oh before I forget today has been really long and I do not know how I am going to stay awake to play with turtle tonight. My eyes are really burning. Guess I could take out my contacts and put on my glasses, but I don’t want to.

Feels Good…

Slashhack wrote about my blog at Feels good…. I enjoyed reading several of his posts. I love his header picture, snow on the mountians remind me of being home in Colorado. I think it’s a great blog, has well written posts. The only draw back I found was he has a google gadget in the upper right corner that I found very distracting.

Stories of ACE

Stories of ACE wrote a nice post about my blog. I appreciate her post. Her blog is well written, and has a simple design. While reading her blog I came across a post that she wrote that that I really liked, it was entitled Online friends. I completely agree with the part where she says:
If they don’t respond, I sometimes wonder why. They are not at their desk? They don’t want to talk to me? Whatever it is, a response, even if it’s “sorry, I’m busy, can’t talk”, or “sorry, I’m not in the mood to talk to you” is better than a rude silence.
I apologize for the delay in getting this post up for her as promised. I had things come up at work, and couldn’t get to a computer that I could blog from. Again I want to thank her for the blog post, it was well written.

How-To: Detach Sessions in Screen
By Eaglehawk | May 10, 2008
photo credit: slashcrisis
Recently I have been running a script on one of my servers that has been taking longer than I can sit at a laptop. So I decided I use screen to run the program that way I could leave the session running after I left the system. I found once you are in screen it does not matter how many screen sessions you have open; you can use CTRL+A followed by D to detach your screen without closing it.
Some screen important keys quick reference:
CTRL+A + 0-9 – Change which screen session you are using.
CTRL+A + C – Open a new screen session.
CTRL+A + D – Detach without closing your sessions.
Screen allows you to customize it’s view. This is what I have in my .screenrc
hardstatus on
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string “%{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{..G} %H %{..Y} %m/%d %C%a “

termcapinfo xtermc 'XT:AF=\E[3%p1%dm:AB=\E[4%p1%dm:AX:hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007′
all of the termcapinfo xtermc lines should be one line. Not really sure why it’s doing this.
Hope this helps others that are looking for help with this.

By Eaglehawk | May 10, 2008
While browsing today I found a blog titled Pho-Tog B-Log. The author is a great photographer in my opinion, she asks if we have a favorite photo, which I have posted below. I unfortunately could not leave a comment because I do not use blogspot blog.
Go by and tell her which is your favorite picture on this post Pho-Tog B-Log: Favorite Photos?

Cultured Views an Open Minded Blogger
By Eaglehawk | May 10, 2008
Recently over on social spark, I had requested that someone review my blog and one of the people that did was Venus. She wrote Dad Space The Eaglehawk. It was very well written, unfortunately I had things come with my normal day job, and I was not able to get back to my blogging like I wanted to. It appears that she took down the post unfortunately. Hopefully she will put it back up. It is a shame that she took it down.
Cultured Views is a well written blog. She has very insightful reviews of products she has used, and of sites she has visited. She keeps her readers current with the news, one of her recent posts was More tragedy for the people of Myanmar. With my busy schedule lately without her post I would not have known about anything that was going on in Myanmar.
Cultured Views has a great layout it is not distracting and easy to read the writing unlike a large number of blogs out there. I can honestly say this is a great blog, one that I will be adding to my feed reader.

PhotoHunt 109: Free Week
By Eaglehawk | May 10, 2008
So I think I have figured out why Peanut will not sleep in her own bed all night. I caught her sleeping like this during the night and had to get a picture of this. Hopefully we can figure out a way to get her to sleep like a normal child. Any ideas?

USS Houston CA-30
By Eaglehawk | May 4, 2008
I normally do not write about television shows I have watched, but I have just finished watching Cruiser Houston: Of Pride and Purpose. Apparently it was originally aired September 25, 2007. This was a very touching story, I do not recall ever having tears in my eyes as much as I have had with this show. There were so many touching moments in this show. I wish everyone could see it, but I doubt it is shown outside of the Houston area. So I encourage all of you to read up on the the USS Houston CA-30. I found out while watching it there is a memorial for the USS Houston near my office. I may one of these days talk a walk down there and take a picture of it.
