I’m really looking forward to 2010.   Planning to make it the best year yet.

So much so, while in Denver last month, I purchased my 2010 planner.    A Quo vadis brand daily journal.   It’s nice that Quo vadis is a Latin phrase meaning “Where are you going?”

Odd that this trick needs to be used when dealing with large files.

VirtualBox rocks!

sudo mount -t vboxsf SharedWithUbuntu1 /mnt

Google’s new 1-800-goog411 service is very handy!    One of my favorite parts is at the start of the call, you hear “this call is being recorded.”

The new Data.gov could be fun.

From Neil Young’s Crime in the City:

The artist looked at the producer
The producer sat back
He said, What we have got here
Is a perfect track
But we don’t have a vocal
And we don’t have a song
If we could get these things accomplished
Nothin’ else could go wrong.
So he balanced the ashtray
As he picked up the phone
And said, Send me a songwriter
Who’s drifted far from home
And make sure that he’s hungry
Make sure he’s alone
Send me a cheeseburger
And a new Rolling Stone.
Yeah.

I may not be able to blog from now on.

It’s nice to remember how easy it is to use the StandardMBean technique to register almost any object to be controlled via JMX.
