In this brief blog entry I'm going to show how to gather the number of lines in a code base using the wc, find, and grep commands. Let's take a look...

Tomorrow I start my first day at my new job. It's a startup called Lime Engine located in Sunnyvale, CA. I'll be employee #7 (or 8... not exactly sure which). Lime Engine is funded by Lime Wire (http://www.limewire.com). This should be a great opportunity for me to grow technically and learn some really cool new stuff. Some of the things I'll be using are the Zend Framework and Amazon EC2. I am also getting a brand new MacBook Pro (I already own one that I bought in December after I left Yahoo!).

Got to go to the Bay Area Drupal Camp in SFO couple weekends ago. One of my friends Ben Lowenstein got to do a presentation (http://colingolabs.com/blog/presenting-flex-drupal-badcamp).

Also got to represent WebEnabled and helped new Drupal users get setup with their first Drupal installation.

In this brief blog entry I'm going to show how to remove a specific subdirectories within a directory recursively using the find command. Often it is useful to remove .svn or .cvs directories. Let's take a look...

You only have your time. Use it wisely.

Do the thing(s) you enjoy. Don't commit to anything you don't want to do.

You earn money as a proxy for time. Spend your money wisely. The money you earn is only as valuable as the time you spent earning it. One person may earn 8 bucks an hour, but love the work and appreciate each dollar after the days work. Another person may make 40 bucks an hour and hate the work. This person wastes 8 hours of his life each day and probably doesn't appreciate the money as much as the person making 8 bucks an hour.

I had an epiphany last night at around 7pm. jeffcd.com is a very short domain name and a cool one at that. The problem is that it is under utilized because the owner is not taking care of it properly. Since I'm the owner I decided it is time to make use of jeffcd.com.

I set out last night around 730pm (after half-hour of deliberations in my head and staring at my monitor). By 330pm when I went to bed the framework of the new site was in place. There is still a ton of work to do: content, UI, design, work work work.
