UNIX

Anyone know of where I can learn UNIX or a good book to start with? I am familiar with the basic rudimentary commands and can get as fancy as tar and untar files to be emailed, but my skills stop there. Is it possible to publish on (e:strip) via a terminal window?

That stinks that he doesn't introduce you...I have often been accused of not introducing people and I will admit I am guilty of it...it honestly doesn't usually cross my mind which is so bad..it is one of the things I am most working on to improve because I know I hate it when I'm not introduced yet I rarely introduce others...not that they are people I am dating, just friends and stuff

Buoys?

Does anyone know what keeps buoys in one spot? I'd particularly like to know about the ones in Lake Ontario, but now that I've thought about it, what keeps the ones in the ocean from floating off as well? really long ropes?

hummmmmmmm.

Its sooo nice to be home

Jeff and I went camping in cape cod this weekend. it was nothing short of fantastic. The weather was perfect, the water was perfect, even the sand was perfect. It was so nice to just get away from buffalo for a week. I hate buffalo. really.

Nothing says clean and shiny like Clorox. Sure it makes my bare hands raw and smell, my nails get soft and brittle, but damn does it clean up anything and everything.

HOT HOT HOT

Today was so hot and muggy. I came home on my lunch and went swimming. I think I pulled something in my left arm when I fell off the rock this weekend. After I finished doing laps, my arm really hurts.

I hope tomorrow is just as nice. I want to go sailing. :)
