After all the carrying on about flu shots yesterday, I'm not telling any of my coworkers that I've had muscle aches ever since.
Ken Nelson and Alex Scoble liked this
Happiness works just like a muscle, the more you train at it the stronger it gets. The most unhappy people I see put zero effort into being happy. Happiness is not a thing that happens to you, it's a thing you do to the world around you.

I've heard a similar idea that happiness is situational but joy is attitude dependent. I do work to try to make sure I find they joy, otherwise what is there to enjoy?
- Heather Solos
and I fail at defining things without using the word. Sigh.

Liz Phair touched on this in a song: "Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say; you've got to get up and work the people every day." It doesn't fall from heaven, this is a contact sport.
- Dave Slusher
Also I should distinguish that i view "happiness" as being like climate and "mood" as being like weather. You can have a bad day or even a lot of them, and still be happy. It's a context for your life. Note that I'm often cranky online but in general I consider myself an absurdly happy person. This is by choice and by my deliberate effort.

If you google on conway mayoral election, four hits on the first page are me.

Even funnier, some of those are from FriendFeed. Maybe when my coverage really kicks in, I'll get a lot of google juice and that will bring new people to the Grand Strand Bloggers.

So here are my goals for the next 5 weeks in hyper-locality in the Conway mayoral race: I want to link to every news story that is online at every local paper and TV web site, I want to send a list of question to all 4 candidates and print all the responses we get, and if possible interview all 4.

So the question becomes how to get the word out to people that GrandStrandBloggers has this coverage? Maybe I'll leave some comments on the major sites.

I can possibly get you set-up with Alys Lawson. We just picked up some stuff for her at work. We even have a photo shoot set-up with her on Thursday.
- Andre Pope
OK, I have email addresses for 3 of the 4. Russ Calhoun I could not find any web footprint at all. Lawson and Chestnut are both their City Council addresses. I'm not sure of the legality of them using them for campaign mail.
- Dave Slusher
Googling on Russ Calhoun Conway SC gave me his address and phone number. I guess I'll be making the phone call. If I want to approach this as a pseudo-journalist I can't be squeamish about making phone calls.
- Dave Slusher
You know, there is no reason why I can't meet all 4 candidates at the Conway Library and do short interviews with them and post them on vimeo or viddler or something. For that matter, why not host a debate at the library?
- Dave Slusher
Turns out Alys Lawson is my neighbor but I've never met her.
- Dave Slusher
I'd set up a Google Alert for each name plus other terms related to "Conway" and "Mayor". You may get some other Conways in the country, but nothing that couldn't be quickly sifted through.

"I grew up in this very town, 37 miles west of San Juan on the north shore of Puerto Rico. This very house was my grandfather’s house when I was eight years old. It later became my home, from ages 11 to 17. After graduating from high school, I went to Pennsylvania, PA to study Computer Science and got a job straight out of college. I moved here again almost seven years ago, when the dot com bust left me looking for a job. I live 5 minutes from the beach, a beautiful bay, in my not so humble opinion."

I'm of the opinion that if your job is to develop software that runs on Unix servers, there should be be zero impediments in your infrastructure to running a Unix workstation. IE, there should be nothing in your workflow that requires Windows to make it work.

If the Burlington Coat Factory can go all Linux 8 years ago, why can't software companies? C'mon people, get with it!

For WAY too many, two words: Microsoft Exchange. (note: I don't AGREE with this, I just see it. Crazy.) And once you're committed to Exchange, then it's Sharepoint, IIS, SQL Server, etc. The entire stack. Amazing that calendar management appears to make such really big decisions.
- Ken Kennedy
And I guess MS Office doesn't help either. *grin* But I'd say Exchange is the bigger deal, b/c it's infrastructure.
- Ken Kennedy
I'm running Thunderbird to access Exchange and it is surprisingly effective. I'm kind of shocked there is no open source calendering app the equivalent of an apache as a defacto standard. Seems not that difficult to do although I've never tried.
- Dave Slusher
What gets me is in most or all of these cases, the cost of ownership goes down - a little or a lot -when you get the MSFT infrastructure out. That's what drove Burlington and a lot of the schools that have switched.
- Dave Slusher
Hmm.. does it then follow that if something in the workflow does require Windows you can't run Unix in the workflow?
- felix
felix, that's like ummm, my point. If your job is Unix, why make Unix hard to use?
- Dave Slusher
Dave. :) - but it simply is a truth that not everything runs on unix, some bit of software or some required legacy... So if a component, no matter how minor, requires something non-unixy, you have to throw unix out with it? I just think that's harsh!
- felix
If a Unix developer needs Windows in the workflow, then the workflow is broken. It needs to be fixed. That's management's job.
- James (@willia4)
I know TBird does great w/ email against Exchange, but last I checked, it didn't handle the meeting/resource reservation/calendaring stuff well. Which shouldn't be that big a deal, but apparently it is, for PHBs. There are indeed lots of F/OSS calendaring projects (Sunbird being a well-known one right now), but it's apparently harder than it looks (see Chandler, Hula, etc.)
- Ken Kennedy
Right on! Happy Sysadmin Day (tomorrow). This is right up there with the (dooms|pay)day quote.
- Ken Nelson
Every time I see a discussion about why people shouldn't use Exchange that focuses on/starts with email, I know that the speaker doesn't really get why Exchange is used all over the place.

Texas had some of the cheapest power rates in the country when it zapped most of the state's electric regulations six years ago, convinced that rollicking competition would drive prices even lower. This summer, electricity there is some of the nation's priciest. Power costs are rising in the rest of the U.S., but everything is bigger in Texas: On a hot day in May, wholesale prices rose briefly to more than $4 a kilowatt hour -- about 40 times the national average.

They sell these by weight. So a slice like the picture could probably feed 2 people. They are filled with 3 or 4 different cheeses and 3-4 different salamis,prosciutto, pepperoni,ham. Insanely scrumptious.
