I pulled the trigger on a new (used) car for me last night. Nothing fancy, I hate spending money on cars. 2016 Chevy Spark with only 23K miles. 5,000 dollars. I thought it was a good deal.

Well, I didn't know anyone had something like that, but yes. I might actually get a Samsung now.

Billy Graham just died at 99.

A great servant who made a huge impact to the world.

Made a huge impact, yes. The type of impact is debatable.
A great Servant? Fuck no.

Starting hospitals in impoverished countries that accept people of all faiths, running orphanages, helping in refugee camps, helping subsistence farmers learn how to start growing enough food to actually start making income, rescuing children and women from the sex slave industry, just to name a few things. That isn't being a servant at all. Of course, people will hear a religious message through these but they don't have to convert to take advantage of these ministries. So yes I do believe he was a great servant. Was he perfect, no. But I will most likely say that we will just have to agree to disagree on this.

I guess either way I need to setup a DCHP server.

You wouldn't have to with the way I suggested. You would just have to set static IPs for everything. Mine would just need a network in place. Is there no DHCP server where you will do this? Again, a Raspberry Pi could have a Samba Share and run DHCP pretty easily

This is what we did:

So I think I am going to do this: Use sed to remove everything but the two cordinates and then get them transposed. Then take them and insert them into a new file in this format:

<kml>
        <Placemark>
		<Point>
			<gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder>
			<coordinates>45.0022544,35.35499874654,0</coordinates>
		</Point>
	</Placemark>
</kml>

Then save it as a KML file that google earth can read. Should have this down today now. Thanks guys!

Audible is having a 3 for 2 sale right now, I think for the next couple of days. I just bought these books (all links go to Audible.com) :
Andrea Vernon and the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.
Revenger

Got it. First off thanks to @JaredBusch for suggesting sed. Thanks to everyone that suggested something as well. Don't know if it is the best way of doing it but here is what worked

for i in *.txt
do 
sed -i '1d;2d;3d;4d;5d;6d;7d;8d;9d;10d;11d;14d;15d;16d;17d' $i
sed -i 's/Longitude: /,/g' $i
sed -i 's/Latitude: //g' $i
tr '\n\r' ' ' < $i | sponge $i
sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]//g' $i
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]//g' $i
sed -i '1i\
<kml><Placemark><Point><gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder><coordinates>
' $i
sed -i '${s/$/0\<\/coordinates\>\<\/Point\>\<\/Placemark\>\<\/kml\>/}' $i
mv "$i" "$i".kml
done

Ready Player 1, opens this weekend. I am going to see it. Everything else is secondary.

Okay actually this is what it ended up being. I didn't realize it but I had the long and lat reversed(everything kept showing up in the antartic so I knew something was amiss), so I had to add a line to reverse them.

for i in *.txt
do 
sed -i '1d;2d;3d;4d;5d;6d;7d;8d;9d;10d;11d;14d;15d;16d;17d' $i
sed -i 's/Longitude: //g' $i
sed -i 's/Latitude: /,/g' $i
tac $i | sponge $i
tr '\n\r' ' ' < $i | sponge $i
sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]//g' $i
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]//g' $i
sed -i '1i\
<kml><Placemark><Point><gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder><coordinates>
' $i
sed -i '${s/$/0\<\/coordinates\>\<\/Point\>\<\/Placemark\>\<\/kml\>/}' $i
mv "$i" "$i".kml
done

Bottom line is this. God only made a few perfect heads, like @scottalanmiller and mine, the rest God had to cover with hair.

Is it 5pm yet? Wishing it was 5pm. Going to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee tomorrow and my wife and I are picking out our land we will retire on. Pretty excited.

So the unthinkable has happened, I got a Samsung Galaxy S9 and am testing out Android.

Why oh why Samsung? I hate Samsung Android phones. They are the worst. Love my Google Pixel 2XL

Because who doesn't cook scrambled eggs with hairy bikers?

Just got UrBackup up and running at a clients location. Preparing to move them from an old legacy server to a Samba 4 domain on Fedora.

Thank You Scott!!!! Being from St. Louis I just took a screenshot of this. Will keep this up my sleeve the next time some smug KC person starts saying something.

They put sugar into everything to make it taste sweet.

They put sugar into everything to make it addictive. I believe it is that sinister. Honestly, it is as bad as tobacco companies when they denied (even after knowing it) that smoking causes cancer. They are now linking Alzheimer's to insulin resistance in the brain. Also, a lot of health diseases are linked to sugar now. The big food companies should be held liable. Only 10 companies control almost every large food and beverage brand in the world.*

Dude. What happened to your foot?

See I would invite friends over that didn't know that my Dad has had his leg amputated. Then I would share that article with them that day. I just wouldn't say anything and just let them wonder.

I had a deer get lodge into my driver side window. Luckily I was by myself. The first thing I did after soiling my undies, was quickly pulled over get out and call the police. Before the police arrived the damn deer freed itself and ran off. I hate live deer, I do love venison jerky though.
