Found this guy on the way to pyramid lake. It is a Burrowing Owl and makes his house out of whatever shelter he can find that already exists. This one lives in a culvert.

No picture today, just some stuff that I found useful.

How to convert from string to float in C#
I had been using Convert.ToDouble (string), however I needed a float. So how do you do that?
Easy - float.Parse (str)


Fun stuff!

Heres another one -

How to use xgraph


xgraph <FILE1> <FILE2>

the contents of each file are:

x y1

and

x y2

xgraph will combine the contents

Now I also tried -device ps -o FILENAME, however it always segfaulted. I wanted to use it to script out the generation of 100's of graphs.. But Oh well.

Here we have some quail walking on top of the roof. They mainly try to run on the ground, but once you get close to them they will jump and fly.
