Just been reading Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series lately.
If you want to find me, try looking me up on facebook. I've irritated my wife lately. She got jealous when I posted a bunch of old prom pictures, but isn't it just good fun to remember old memories? I didn't end up with any of those girls for good reasons.

Annotated game from gameknot.
I often play chess online at
gameknot. This game is where I play the sicilian defense. The comments don't show up in this web post, so feel free to visit gameknot for more complete analysis of the game. Also consider seeing articles there or on wikipedia to explain concepts like the bishop pair, tempo, etc.

Ireland and legal immigration.
Here in the U.S. taxpayers provide free education to legal and illegal immigrants. Contrast that with Ireland where immigrants get no education for their children. The American mom
fought to keep her child in school there.
Tools for non IT user network management
Click here for the editorial from smartcomputing that discusses two potentially useful tools. There are some new advances in wireless networks that make some of this obsolete already (particularly
WiFi Protected Setup), but if you have older equipment that doesn't support
WPS, there might be real advantages to this software. Even more ideal would be software that turns non WPS hardware into WPS hardware. I can't help but wonder how difficult it would be to create a WPS setup client.
P.S. It seems that there is a company which developed something along these lines:
Devicescape, co; Devicescape, wiki. The idea seems to be storing network setup on a centralized server. I do have some qualms about trusting sensitive information (network setup here) to a third party. Particularly troublesome are the ebay-sniper services. People find their accounts compromised. Third parties have less incentive than you do to protect your stuff. A negligent third party may or may not be discovered... And this doesn't even factor in the social-engineering schemes like
phishing.
