So I decided to start a blog.

As you can see, I have decided to write down my thoughts in hopes that they will entertain the web community or at least help me keep track of my thoughts. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I change subjects every couple seconds, so you have been warned that occasionally I will make little or no sense.

Here are some random things I discovered today:

1) I hate - actually I don't like the word hate so let me rephrase - I strongly dislike rrdtool. I change one little thing in the rrdtool update script and my entire database gets erased.

2) If you run cold water over an onion right after you peel it your eyes will not burn and cause you to tear for the next half hour. I learned this a little too late, but it is useful for future onion endeavors.

3) Bamboo never dies; and believe me I've tried to kill it! I left my bamboo tree at college over winter break with little water to drink and it was still alive when I got back. In fact, it barely shows again signs of neglect. Don't worry, I over-watered the plant the second I returned to ease its suffering. I wish that there was a pet out there that would be this resilient because dogs, cats and even fish are entirely too needy.

That is all for today!
