This is how much 15,811,000 US single men spend on average according to the government in 2006.   Also I include stats for 2,923,000 san francisco 'consumer units' and the 118,843,000 US consumer units.  I think I'll do a chart of this data after I make sense of it.  I'm thinking one chart will say why SF is a spend-a-lot area versus the US average and the other chart will compare something and US single men.  I don't know what the something is yet - maybe over time?  don't know.    Food away from home  includes all meals (breakfast and brunch, lunch, dinner and snacks and nonalcoholic beverages) including tips at fast food, take-out, delivery, concession stands, buffet and cafeteria, at full-service restaurants, and at vending machines and mobile vendors. Also included are board (including at school), meals as pay, special catered affairs, such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, and confirmations, school lunches, and meals away from home on trips. 1 man avg: 1,880 US a...

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

MySQL GUI tools review for Mac OSX: MySQL GUI Tools Bundle by MySQL: 4/10 ; you can see your db, and do any and all maintenance. Loses marks because its not a designing tool and the query tool is awful. However, this is probably the tool I will use to monitor, deploy, and maintain MySQL instances. Eclipse Database Designer by Visual Paradigm: its commercial, so skipping. Navicat  : looks very capable, but its commercial, so skipping. Cocoa MySQL : 6/10 very minimal but highly functional at the same time.  No designing mode, but I'm giving up my search and going with Cocoa for now.

The process of posting the completed source code REST based authentication in RoR on google code (google code may be replacing sourceforge.net one day..) took some tinkering on the Mac.  Here are some gotcha's / tutorial-light: 1. Download svnx (alternate subversion  client list ) 2. Sign up for googlecode 3. Accept the new site's certificate through a terminal window ( #svn list  https://restfulauthentication-ror2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ) - you have to do this because the certificate isn't considered valid due to the certificate non-explicit naming of the https server 4. follow the steps on wikihow for a good how-to use svn on the mac - deviate step 4 to the new google code's repository address 5. check in an RoR project by either using this shell script  (file | save as, chmod +x, etc) as y ou initially create a RoR project (it is designed for starting a new RoR project). 6. if you have a RoR project already, clean up the check in using the same methods detailed ...

    This is my computer. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My computer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me, my computer is useless. Without my computer, I am useless. I must use my computer true. I true. I must compute faster than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must outcompute him before he outcomputes me. I will. Before God, I swear this creed. My computer and myself are defenders of this country. We are masters of our enemy. We are the saviours of my life. So be it until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

Visio Rant: The new AutoConnect feature in Microsoft Visio 2007 Professional doesn't do exactly what you'd like.  Firstly, its unintuitive to turn on - requires a Tools | Options type of enabling, and it also requires a toolbar selection to enable it per-drawing.  Secondly, in UML drawings such as an Activity diagram, you want to modify which connector is being used.  E.g. use Control Flow between States or Action States, whereas the autoconnect puts a two sided generic 'connector' between the states.  This doesn't help because in the Activity diagram, you need to represent which direction the flow is proceeding in with the Control Flow or Object Flow connectors.  Feature request for Microsoft? Automatic connections are so much easier in Rational's eclipse based modelling tool (RSM/RSA).  In RSM the connectors change based on the objects you are connecting.  Seems obvious enough.

Somehow I came upon The International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) is an annual report by the Department of State to Congress prepared in accordance with the Foreign Assistance Act. It describes the efforts of key countries to attack all aspects of the international drug trade in Calendar Year 2007. "Diversion" is apparently the latest way of getting from the suppliers to the end users. Notice 'Transit Country A' is somewhere in South America - interesting graphical prejudice ( but I love diagrams!) A snippet of the report on India's role in the world wide diversion scene: "A joint investigation by the DEA and India’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in 2005 led to the dismantling of a major international pharmaceutical drug organization that was distributing controlled pharmaceuticals such as bulk ephedrine (a controlled precursor chemical) and ketamine (a Schedule III non-narcotic controlled substance in the U.S.) internationally through the I...
