Let me start by saying I LOVE thedailyplate.com and use the thing (as the name suggests) daily. Recently they added an option to export all your data to spreadsheet. Being the geek I am, I quickly began sorting and plotting the data. I highly recommend you do the same. For me this wasn’t a weight loss plan as much as a weight level plan. I am right where I want to be on the circumference of my waist, 145 pounds @ 29″. Not too small, not too big. Some of the more interesting numbers to come out of all this:
- I work out 76% of the time, or 5.3 days a week average
- The average American consumer 3800 calories a day
-
- I consume 1624.2 a day not counting workout
- Days I ate 3800 was zero
All of these stats are pretty interesting. I workout a good bit and watch what I eat. Tadda! If you want to see my spreadsheet click here.

As a Catholic Man I am called to vote based on the faith and not of the world. The Pope while addressing the European People’s Party laid out 3 points. What I love abut the Church is that at no point does the Church endorse a candidate for any election. Sometimes a Parish Priest will jump into the fray but the Church as a whole, never. That is how the Church weathered 2000 years of politicians, civiliazations, and society changes. Here are the 3 non-negotiable:
- Protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death.
- Recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family - as a union between a man and a woman based on marriage - and its defense from attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different forms of union which in reality harm it and contribute to its destabilization, obscuring its particular character and its irreplaceable social role.
- The protection of the right of parents to educate their children.

For all those running the Skype 2.0 Beta on Ubuntu Gutsy.
Seems that having Nessus installed will screw up your Qt libraries:
505 cd /opt/nessus/lib/
506 sudo mv libQtCore.so.4 libQtCore.so.old
507 sudo mv libQtGui.so.4 libQtGui.so.old
508 sudo mv libQtXml.so.4 libQtXml.so.old
