			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EDC, Every Day Carry.  Something I think that is true to the heart of boys and geeks everywhere.  Pockets were made to be filled, and no geek ever wants to be without the right tool for the job.  EDCer&#8217;s might be minimalists, pushing everything down to the smallest factor possible, or may be on the other end, having two of everything, just in case. So I decided to join a meme and post up what&#8217;s in my pockets first (my bag has a whole other load, for later).</p>
<p><a href="http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/img_0075-thumb-320x240.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-542" title="img_0075-thumb-320x240" src="http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/img_0075-thumb-320x240-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>A quick rundown on these contents (Top left working clockwise).</p>
<ol>
<li>Odd keychain, Tahoe key and fob, motorcycle key (detachable), Leatherman squirt s4, micro-mag with LED conversion kit.  Usually in left pocket if in use, otherwise jacket or pack.</li>
<li>Iphone earbuds (phone is busy taking the picture).</li>
<li>Regular keychain. Car key and fob, micro-led light, cabinet and trigger lock keys, house key, safe key, pill vial (waterproof storage).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.naaminis.com/magnum.html">North American Arms Magnum Mini </a>revolver, magnum JHP rounds.  LR chamber located &#8216;elsewhere&#8217;</li>
<li><a href="http://www.boker.de/us/index.php?c=3000&amp;a=01BO589CAMO&amp;s1=sub&amp;s2=0&amp;s3=9999&amp;p=&amp;pp=0">Boker sub-compact </a>folding, lockblade knife</li>
<li>Access Card for work</li>
<li>Cree LED tac-light</li>
<li>chapstick</li>
<li>Wallet</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming soon to this server, Downtime.</p>
<p>With my change in employment, I have to move my server, and I really want to move a lot of it off the physical hardware.&nbsp; Well I have a lot moved, but the family and lug-nut sites aren&#8217;t yet.&nbsp; I&#8217;m awaiting some different hardware still, so tomorrow I have to take this box down, and migrate it home for a while, before I can set up my replacement box.</p>
<p>Not that it matters too much, I mean how often have I posted this year <img src='http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &nbsp; Oh, it&#8217;s my *other* services that matter to me.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Setting up bi-directional syncing from mac to google calendar
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a while I&#8217;ve been trying to get a better way of managing my calendars on systems.&nbsp; Between my iCal on my laptop, at home, my phone, and my google cals (gmail account, and apps for my domain),&nbsp; I&#8217;ve gotten worse, rather than better at keeping things in sync.</p>
<p>My largest problem was that I didn&#8217;t want any single location to be the absolute truth in terms of knowledge, especially when it came to choosing where to edit.&nbsp; As an example, I dont&#8217; have to have to go to google calendar to edit, just because my iCal can only *read* from there, or vice-versa.&nbsp; So enter <a href="http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net">GCALDaemon</a>, a Java (I know) app which can run on linux, mac, and more and allow bi-directional work between my gcal, and ical, kontact, and more.&nbsp; It works quite well, except the direction don&#8217;t apply for the current Leopard release of OSX.&nbsp; The main difference is in the location of where iCal stores its information, which is now in:</p>
<p>~/Library/Calendars/&lt;Unique-id&gt;.calendar/Events/*.ics</p>
<p>Which just happens to be the data you need for the config file, instead of the location they originally suggest. &nbsp;Also of concern was that by default, my google apps calendar wouldnt&#8217; give me a &#8220;private&#8221; link, but I just had to munge the url of the public ics file with a s/public/private/ and it worked. &nbsp;I now have my google calendars syncing bi-directionally with my laptop and desktop.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t tried yet, but it also has a tool for getting an LDAP access to your google contacts, which will be nice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I&#8217;m moving on.&nbsp; It&#8217;s time for me to go to a new place, so I&#8217;m starting to troll along with <a href="http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/resume.html">my resume</a> for anything interesting.&nbsp; I won&#8217;t go into my reasons here, as I am still employed <img src='http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  but would like to find something new. </p>
<p>If for some reason you are reading this and don&#8217;t know what I do, or what I&#8217;m good at, wow, I&#8217;m surprised <img src='http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  but here goes a little.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a very experienced Perl programmer,with previous experience in the usuals (C, C++), but those are pretty outdated in terms of experience.&nbsp; The larger part of my experience and background is in dealing with Billing and Finance applications, and large scale replicating site/cms tools.&nbsp; I&#8217;m a core developer on the Freeside billing system,&nbsp; and heavily involved with the local Open Source community.&nbsp; Go ahead, check out the resume &#8211; <a href="http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/resume.html">http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/resume.html</a></p>

<p><a href="http://phil801.com/index.html">Phil801</a> had been discussing shooting to blow off some stress, and I mentioned that it sounded time to have another geeks-n-guns event.&nbsp; He found the name amusing, and the site is born.&nbsp; Go check in if you are a geek with and interest in things that go boom!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[UTOS and Tier Four hosting presented a Geeks Paintball game.
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A big thanks to our friends at <a href="http://www.tierfour.com/">Tier 4</a> for buying 15 cases of marballizer paint, and inviting all of us to play.&nbsp; It was a great day for paintball with beautiful weather, lots of fun players (both first timers, and experienced people), and plenty of action.&nbsp; It was fun to begin setting up teams by calling out for .RPM vs .DEB, and then watch as destruction happened in various game formats.</p>
<p>Make sure to thank the sponsors, and maybe they&#8217;ll buy for us again!&nbsp; If you did enjoy it and would like to do it again, also let us at UTOS know, so we can plan more activities for the groups in Utah.&nbsp; Also thanks to the non-geek Team DesertEdge members for helping out with team balance, and keeping the games moving <img src='http://halls.lug-nut.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Found this article on Popular Mechanics recently: <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/upgrade/4223337.html">25 Skills Every Man Should Know</a></p>
<p>Use it as a scorecard, where did you wind up?&nbsp; I do like that it is updated to include concepts such as backing up your drive.</p>
