Jason Antonacci: Clever Guy

Figured out (scripted) how to get my SSH sessions to log output automatically... #!/bin/bash HOST=`echo $1 | sed 's/^.*@//' | sed 's/\..*$//'` ISODATETIME=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S%N` LOGFILE="ssh-$HOST-$ISODATETIME.txt" LOGDIR=$HOME/log; if [ ! -d "$LOGDIR" ]; then mkdir -p "$LOGDIR"; fi LOGDST="$LOGDIR"/"$LOGFILE" script -q -c "ssh $1" "$LOGDST" #EOF ... then added an new alias in $HOME/.bash_aliases file.  Done.

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop's 'Burning Platform' memo is a self fulfilling prophecy.  Yes, Nokia projected quarterly numbers were declining.  However unlike RIM Blackberry OS, Symbian S60 is a mature, functional platform with global presence.  Focusing narrowly on the North American market, Elop's myopic pessimism and partnering with 'frenemy' Microsoft are real challenges.  Further reading: Full text of Nokia CEO Stephen Elop’s 'Burning Platform' Memo at The Wall Street Journal Tech Europe page Article "The Final Reckoning: Burning Platforms Memo Damaged Nokia: Wiped out $13B revenues, Destroyed $4B profits in just 12 months" at  Communities Dominate blog Article " Nokia And RIM: Death By Drowning, Death By Fire" by Stephen Rosenman at Seeking Alpha

My real concern is Windows Phone Marketplace developers abandoning Mango, compiling apps exclusively for Apollo. Microsoft's announcements raise more questions than they answer.

When introduced on June 3, 2009, Microsoft Bing was no competition for Google.  That was three years ago, now Bing returns search results on par with Google (or better).  Bing's policy reasonable prohibits only illegal items and can be viewed at http://advertising.microsoft.com/small-business/search-advertising/bing-shopping . Today I am switching my browser's default search to Bing. I know this is not likely to change Google's policy, but maybe we can prevent other search engines from adopting Google's misguided policy. I believe Google's policy decisions on AdWords for alcohol and tobacco products are reasonable, however firearms are a constitutionally protected category.  I am disappointed that Google has marginalized the recreational shooting and hunting community.
