Sharing Information
I saw this before a film and have been looking for it forever. Hilarious!

Explain to me….
….how Obama is going to spend all this extra money and not raise the debt? Where’s he going to get it from. I’ll believe it when I see his budget….although, I’m not holding my breath as there hasn’t been one the past 4 years.
Oh, and rights don’t deserve a vote.
[Update 2013-02-13 06:50:55] I needed to edit my post. Pres. Barak has submitted a budget to Congress…the Senate just hasn’t passed one. Oh, and my criteria when I look at his budget: it better be balanced. 0 borrowing. That is the only way it won’t add to the national debt.

More on Contacts
Well, last week, I had my checkup after trying contacts (Day 1, Day 2, Days 3 4 and 5). I complained about how poorly I saw. The doctor gave me a mini eye exam and said we’d make a slight change. Well, I have another trial pair and can see much better. Yesterday, I tried to take a picture of my eye (because they were nice and clear). After 8 pictures, I got the one above. it isn’t great but….
Odd Finder Display Problem
This morning, I downloaded a few sermons from Sermon Audio. When I went to rename them in Finder (on Mac OSx), the picture above it what I saw. Notice anything? Yeah….characters are missing. I tried doing a google search but didn’t find anything. I’ll reboot and see if the problem is fixed.
[Update 2013-02-12 06:58:22] Well, it didn’t take a reboot. After 30 minutes or so, everything returned to normal. Don’t know why. Don’t know what caused it.

Apple, Filevault2, and CoreStorage
Twice in as many weeks, I’ve had a Mac come across my desk with the disk hosed up. I mean really hosed up. In these cases, we give people a new computer, help them migrate whatever we can, then redo the old computer (it takes less time). But, in both of these cases, the hard drive has been encrypted with FileVault2. Now, that isn’t a problem (I had the passwords) but by this point, I just wanted to blow everything on the drive away and do a reinstall of everything.
But, if the disk is encrypted with FileVault2 (aka a Core Storage Volume) you can’t mess with it from disk utility. Even if you unlock it. You have to go out to the command line.
The first time I really hosed the disk and had to erase it (which you can do). The second time, I was able to simply erase the Core Storage Volume.
This site was where I found the commands: http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/08/05/undocumented-corestorage-commands/
I’m posting it here to help me when I need it again.

My phone wasn’t on this morning so I didn’t get up to work out. Slept until 6:45 am though.

Let’s Say It Together….
…Instant “coffee” isn’t coffee at all. It will barely do in a pinch. The only thing it is fit for is a hlando nescafe. You take instant coffee and mix with cold milk and ice.
By the way, if you are British, found this, and wonder why I’m saying this….think about this: what do you think of powdered tea?
