This is just a post as a reminder to myself. When using the built-in ftp client in Ciscos IOS if you are having problems with it try “debug ip ftp”. Also if you are filtering connections to your ftp server by ip address you will probably need specify the source interface with “ip ftp source-interface interface”.
I just downloaded the Windows 7 beta (x64) and so far I am impressed. The only thing that hasn’t just worked 100% out of the box on my Dell D630 was the video. I downloaded and installed the 64 bit Vista video driver for my video card. After a reboot I was greeted with some native resolution goodness.
I then proceeded to download the Windows Live Essentials Beta and here I am blogging from Windows Live Writer.
Playoff.
Shame on the coaches, college presidents, and the media who dismiss the idea that a playoff for Division I college football is anything other than necessary and fair. Division I football is the only major football league that doesn’t have a playoff. All this has already been said, but it needs to shouted to the four corners of this once great nation. I ask why are we shocked at the great business scandals of our time when people in positions of power and influence can stand publicly and state that the current system is fair or that it works. Nothing will ever be completely fair, but a playoff has over the course of human history proven to be the fairest system that we can conceive.
I may regret this resolution. I may renege on this resolution. But the very fact that I am saying this should send shivers of fear into the heart of the BCS.
I here by resolve not to attend, watch, or read about any Division I college football game until the BCS Bowl system is abolished and replaced by a playoff system that involves at least 8 teams.
A friend of mine and his family had a close call recently while driving home. Thankfully everyone is fine. I shared with my friend a football analogy about seat belts. It went something like this:
A seat belt will give you a yard. No more. No less. It can make all the difference in the world when you need an inch and no difference at all when you need 10 yards. Most car accidents are 4th and inches and there isn’t any good reason to come up short.
Please be safe and buckle up.
Last year Amber and I both picked a word to symbolize what we hope to achieve during the coming year. This year my word for the new year is Peace.
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
