I finally got my web site up and running. You can view my necklaces and pricelist at http://www.jewelrybychaddock.com . I'm not set up for online purchases. But if I get any requests, I may consider doing it.

Making Necklaces
I started making necklaces (aka beading) a few weeks ago. I absolutely *love* it!
The only problem is I now have lots of necklaces and want to make more. This means I've got to sell some to make money to buy more beads to make more! And I'm no salesman!! I don't have one sales DNA... um.. thing in my entire body!
Despite my inadequacies, I've actually sold 3 necklaces. But I drastically under priced them and wound up losing money. It's still a start.
I started scanning my necklaces and publishing them in my Picasa Web Album.
I've only got a few done, but within the next few days I should have them all. I'm actually calculating the real cost of each necklace and putting the price with the picture, that way I won't be caught off guard and utter out a ridiculously low price. I'm not really trying to sell anything on the web. The main reason I'm publising the pictures is to show my co-workers and friends. It's alot easier than carrying them around with me all the time.

Splitting a large disk image.
The Problem: You have a disk image (or any file) that is too big to write to a DVD.
The Solution: Split the image file into smaller files that you can save to multiple DVDs.
To Split the file:
$ cat mydisk.dd |gzip -c| split -a 3 -d -b 4500m - mydisk.dd
To restore, use a command similar to the following:
$ cat

Using awk with multiline records
To print the first field of a multiline record:
awk 'BEGIN {RS = ""} {print $1}'
If you want each line to be one field in the multiline record:
awk 'BEGIN { FS= "\n"; RS = "" } {print $1}'
