Hint: wrapping a GUI around a complex commandline tool doesn't inherently make it more user-friendly.
A couple decades ago I downloaded lists of given names and surnames and their frequency from the US Census. I used it to randomly generate names for populating an LDAP server for benchmarking, to have a more realistic data set than just "user xxxx". I also used lists of street and city names, with random ZIP codes. Haven't used that in a long time; the workloads we see nowadays don't tend to have postal addresses. Funny how data relevance changes over time.
Ugh. Bought a bottle of cabernet sauvignon today, which isn't my first choice (usually go for malbec). Opened it up, poured a glass. Smelled wrong, tasted odd. Like almost vinegar. I thought maybe I'm really out of touch with how cab should taste... Read the label more closely: 0.4% alcohol. Yeesh it's disgusting.
Been playing with this the past couple days - set up a motion sensing LED light strip for my front steps. For those late nights stumbling home from the pub. It runs off a solar USB power bank, and all the parts are supposedly waterproof.
