Planning Your Day -- Jack Canfield

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaQ90aR-nis&NR=1

I hadn't considered this before - the angle that the subconscious can work overnight on ('right-brained') planning. Good point.

Another reason to thank God and review the day, and to ask for wisdom and guidance for the next.

Upstart Natty Narwhal Ubuntu 11.04 power fail b0rk...

Crash (power fail) partway through upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to Mythbuntu 11.04...

Re-ran the upgrade again from the Mythbuntu 11.04 CD.

Unfortunately this left upstart b0rked.

'Fake' initctl was left in place - presumably as a vestige of the (failed) upgrade.

Attempt to start mysql server failed with 'fake initctl' complaint.

Searched unsuccessfully for fix in Ubuntu forums.

Seems to be fixed now with:

#apt-get install upstart --reinstall

#/etc/init.d/mysql start

seems to work OK.

Dvorak on FORTH, and vice versa

"I have yet to see a decent piece of software written in Forth. Let's face it. Forth stinks." --- John C. Dvorak, provocateur and columnist, InfoWorld, October 29, 1984.

"I have yet to see a decent piece of software written by Dvorak. Let's face it. Dvorak stinks." --- FORTH, programming language and philosphy of automatic thought.
