Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle are You? (pics)
Raphael You can be considered the 'dark one' of your family. You're a hot-head, face it. Or...the 'Realist' some may say. It's a dog-eat-dog world, you're a pretty big dog. You normally lay low until some one gets up your back. You're anti-social and short-tempered...and you're not big on admitting it! But, even though you can act kinda rude and not-there, you're a rather large teddy bear on the inside when it comes to the ones you love...in danger. You hate being called a, 'softy' and you're always ready to 'bring it'.

I guess when I rage, I rage. I am a Zen master compared to most of the people I know though.

After bashing my head against my desk for at least an hour trying to print a UNIX "man" format manual page on a Windows printer, I finally found the solution. I am writing it here so, in 6 months when I go to do this again, I can remember how to do it! Also it seems like "convert man pages to plain text" finds only a painful few references on Google, even though you'd think this would be a common enough thing to want to do. Anyhow here's what you do:

% man <command> | col -bx > <filename>

Incidentally, I finally found my solution (in a roundabout way) here, but that information was Linux-specific, and rather indirect. I've tested the above command on SecureOS and Sun Solaris, and I would imagine it would work on Mac OS as well. If you're on a Mac though you can probably just print the page directly.

Check out my old band's CD at the iTunes music store. You need iTunes installed to follow the link.

You can also find the physical CD on Amazon.com.

Trivia: I took the cover photo on Michigan Avenue, downtown Chicago. I think I used CorelDraw to make the orange tint. I didn't do the rest of the layout, but if you buy the CD you'll see the song titles in my handwriting on the back. After we broke up, the other guys formed the band Break The Silence, and they got signed to Hopeless Records.

Why put this up now? Because I just figured out how to copy a link from the iTunes store. I saw it done on a few web pages and the "I wonder how you do that" impulse has been lurking in my subconscious for a couple of months.
