Random Musings - Day #300

I was looking at the weather map and noticed how close Scotland is to Northern Ireland. On closer inspection, it doesn't appear as close as it is from Dover to Calais but apparently you can get from Larne (N.I.) to Cairnryan (Scotland) in an hour by ferry!

McDonalds have pulled out of Iceland. You can work out on your own what the story is about. ;)

It's all about the cut. Once again, computerhope have a good guide.
Actually I am trying to split, mix'n'match fields delimited from a csv file. There's a bunch of useful linux and unix commands at laynetworks and one must get up to speed in using the powerful but tempermental awk.
