I have to confess that I'm a really terrible blogger. It's not that I don't have any good ideas for blogs, I have ideas all the time. And it's not that I can't write, it's that when I do write I want to do it right – See how I turned a phrase there? Don't tell me I don't have incredible literary skillz.

As I've thought about how to write up a tutorial on setting up a FTP server using Linux, I keep coming back to one, glaring problem: it's difficult to edit text in Linux. This is actually an amazing oxymoron if you know anything about Linux systems. There are probably thousands of commands and software tools available for text manipulation. Programming languages were developed purely for text manipulation. The entire Linux operating system is developed to be configured via simple, plain text documents.

New is in quotes for pretty obvious reason. This RV was built in 1977, lots of retro goodness here. Gotta love the brown, orange and yellow color scheme!! What were the smoking in the 1970s?? ... Oh yeah... nevermind.
Dad and I pitched in to buy this old machine, and to tell they truth we got it for a steal! The engine's been rebuilt and other than a few little things, is in great shape. The interior is in really great shape for it's age.

Well, if I hadn't see in all with my own eyes, I'm not sure I would have believed it! Right at two weeks, the baby birds have grown up and left the nest. From little blue eggs to sky's-the-limit in two weeks.

For anyone who isn't tencho-hip, like me (straining my eyes looking down my nose at the keyboard as I type this), NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. The idea behind a NAS is to have an appliance you just attach to your network and magical gigabytes of storage appear, similar to how free tv programming magically appears when you connect your cable to your neighbor's box. NAS boxes are, like many devices now adays, actually just computers running and embedded operating system, usually FreeBSD or Linux. They're headless (no monitor) and totally configured via a web interface.

Something pretty cool happened over the weekend. We found out if three baby birds in the bush are worth anything. While Heather was trimming the hedges on Saturday, she found a birds nest with a chick and two unhatched eggs!
First time I've seen a bird that young before, had probably just hatched that day and it was unbelievably cute. Every time we would jostled the bush, it's raise it's little head up with it's mouth open. We figured since it couldn't see yet it expects any kind of vibration to be momma coming home with dinner.
