I was the foreman on a grand jury this fall. There was a little extra paperwork, as I had to record vote totals and sign all indictments. I also got to swear in all the witnesses, which was fun. I see the sheriff around town, and I joked that I feel like I have to swear him in every time.

When I can't remember a command, I use the apropos command. I don't know if it is installed on Ubuntu, but is shows up on other Unix-like OS's.

Find a country where it is midnight before you want to go to sleep. Then listen to one or their radio stations online. You'll get the New Year's Eve vibe at 8:00 pm or whenever.

If you are feeling truly minimalist.

As my driver's ed. teacher said, "Let the cows know you are turning."
