Well this is my first post from my new phone. It seems to work pretty well. I’ve noticed some instability in safari, but for the most part it’s been stable. I’m agrivated with the mail app as it won’t let me select what account it sends as using gmails SMTP. I use gmail to check and send from all of my other accounts.

Lack of sleep is bad. Due to the addition of my daughter to the clan I’ve not been getting as much sleep as I need. Well today it turned around and bit me.
I’ve been working on a script for the better part of the day that takes input from standard in and massages it to produce some output. Any one that knows unix/linux does this via the pipe “|” symbol… command1 | command2. this takes the output of command1 and sends it to command2. Well in my sleep deprived state I accidentally transposed a “>” for the “|” needless to say this over wrote command2 with the output of command1. by by script.
Well I’m too tired at the moment to deal with it further… I guess I’ll start again fresh tomorrow.
We have a new addition to the clan.
