Nothing ruins your Friday like realizing that it is Thursday Not Friday

FTFY

The worst part is vacation is next week.

How It Ends on Netflix.

That sounded interesting.

It was ok but I wouldn't spend a dime to go see this at the theater.

Frankly I'm getting tired of the steady diet of apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic movies/tv shows.

They come and go in cycles like everything from Hollywood. Most suck.

Revolution was an interesting concept. But the science behind it was so horribly unbelievable.
Nanites suppressing EMF? How do the maintain their own power? How do they communicate with the satellites and each other? Just WTF.

Then the whole magic pendant that suppresses them locally. When it turns off to check in generator that has not run in years can suddenly run on? WTF?

Most apocalyptic movies deal with the most prevalent fears at the time. This can be seen in Zombie movies for example. What causes people to become Zombies has shifted over time. When I was growing up during the cold war it was always radiation, i.e. a fear of Nuclear war. Then it shifted to biological causes, i.e. fear of a bioweapon in the hands of a terrorist. Read a great paper by two grad students, one was studying psychology and one was a film student who highlighted this trend, this was years ago. Applicable to all disaster/end of the world movies? Probably not but still it was pretty easy to see the trend they highlighted.

I have a question I want to pose to all of you. I am getting ready to go on vacation with the family. I like to have pictures but I don't like having my phone out and I am just never impressed with my pictures from my phone. Am I the only one that likes to have a dedicated point and shoot camera to take pictures with, especially on vacation?

So we're having a burger and a beer, and I looked up at one if the TVs and saw....

CORNHOLE. ON ESPN.

The Ocho has become a reality.

I was at Texas Roadhouse enjoying prime rib and that is what was on too! My wife and I had a long conversation about the implications of this.

Still working through DS9. But it does get better.

If you like Star Trek, especially the Next Generation, watch Chaos on the Bridge, it's on Netflix. It is a documentary about the business/production of it and how they had to wrestle control of it away from Roddenberry.

@murtlap Yeah today is my birthday so happy birthday to both of us lol. Have fun!

Hooray for all the July birthdays! Mine is Saturday!

July has some good birthdays in it, but it really is just the prelude to the best month. It's all downhill after August.

We are switching out our old switches for the Ubiquiti Unifi 48 Port 500 W POE switches. Installing a 10 GB backbone throughout the office.

@penguinwrangler Dry Tortugas looks really cool.

I am a huge history buff, I am actually only a semester away from my history degree (maybe I will finish someday). Dry Tortugas (called dry because there is no freshwater there) was where the conspirators of the Lincoln Assination were kept. I grew up and still live in Illinois and anything to do with Lincoln I find interesting.

Vacation next week. Motivation this week: 0

Okay actually this is what it ended up being. I didn't realize it but I had the long and lat reversed(everything kept showing up in the antartic so I knew something was amiss), so I had to add a line to reverse them.

for i in *.txt
do 
sed -i '1d;2d;3d;4d;5d;6d;7d;8d;9d;10d;11d;14d;15d;16d;17d' $i
sed -i 's/Longitude: //g' $i
sed -i 's/Latitude: /,/g' $i
tac $i | sponge $i
tr '\n\r' ' ' < $i | sponge $i
sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]//g' $i
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]//g' $i
sed -i '1i\
<kml><Placemark><Point><gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder><coordinates>
' $i
sed -i '${s/$/0\<\/coordinates\>\<\/Point\>\<\/Placemark\>\<\/kml\>/}' $i
mv "$i" "$i".kml
done

Got it. First off thanks to @JaredBusch for suggesting sed. Thanks to everyone that suggested something as well. Don't know if it is the best way of doing it but here is what worked

for i in *.txt
do 
sed -i '1d;2d;3d;4d;5d;6d;7d;8d;9d;10d;11d;14d;15d;16d;17d' $i
sed -i 's/Longitude: /,/g' $i
sed -i 's/Latitude: //g' $i
tr '\n\r' ' ' < $i | sponge $i
sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]//g' $i
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]//g' $i
sed -i '1i\
<kml><Placemark><Point><gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder><coordinates>
' $i
sed -i '${s/$/0\<\/coordinates\>\<\/Point\>\<\/Placemark\>\<\/kml\>/}' $i
mv "$i" "$i".kml
done

So I think I am going to do this: Use sed to remove everything but the two cordinates and then get them transposed. Then take them and insert them into a new file in this format:

<kml>
        <Placemark>
		<Point>
			<gx:drawOrder>1</gx:drawOrder>
			<coordinates>45.0022544,35.35499874654,0</coordinates>
		</Point>
	</Placemark>
</kml>

Then save it as a KML file that google earth can read. Should have this down today now. Thanks guys!

I found datamash right before I posted and I had been playing with it. In the text file what I am really trying to pull out are Longitude and Latitude coordinates.

Longitude: 38.6270
Latitude: 90.1994

then I need them to be

Longitude,Latitude
38.6270,90.1994

datamash transpose gives me:
Longitude: 38.6270 Latitude: 90.1994

sed

I will give it a try.

Dry Tortugas National Park, Fort Jefferson. This is on my bucket list of places to go to.

I have several text files that are organized like below

X: Y
B: C
G: F

and I need them to go into a csv file and look like
X,B,G
Y,C,F

Several rows of information separated by a ":" I need to take what is on the left make them into the top row of a CSV and then what is on the right into the CSV data. I am not a huge PowerShell scripting guy and this is time sensitive or else I would figure this out on my own and I haven't done a lot of manipulating text in Linux. This can be a Linux or Windows solution. I am researching this but if any of you have a solution that would be great. I am getting close but like I said time sensitive matter. Also, I have thousands of files I need to process so doing this by hand is out of the question.

Was really stressed lately and so I fell off the diet. My wife was under stress as well so she fell off with me. I went to weigh myself and wow, I still lost three pounds! I didn't tell my wife. She asked me "how much did you gain?" I avoided the question. She then kept pestering me. So finally I said, I lost three pounds. At which point she just turned around grabbed her stuff for work and promptly flipped me off and left.
