Barack Obama is a master at grabbing and keeping his audience's attention, which is the number one goal of any public speaker. How does he do it? Here are five key lessons from Obama's rhetorical playbook.

Jo-Ann Stores is posting impressive sales and earnings numbers and is an example of a retail sector on which Walmart doesn't have a steel grip.

The new extension of the home-buyer tax credit gives buyers more time and more opportunity to take advantage. Income limits have changed, for instance, and you no longer have to be a first-time home buyer. Here’s how to grab the newly expanded tax break.

Road Roller Iron

“Ironing clothes can be a boring task and getting the creases removed from your clothes perfectly is next to impossible. Now all you need to do is place your shirt on a customized iron board with sensors. You need to define the task. What is to be ironed? Shirt, trouser etc. The board defines your play area with lights depending on your selection. Creases are highlighted. Place the mini road roller iron on the shirt, sit back and let the fun begin. With a remote control you need to guide the road roller around the highlighted creases. If you move out of your play area, you lose points. If you get all the creases sorted in quick time you gain points.”

  • Philip Tellis (bluesmoon): Where do your site's visitors come from
    This hack, that I demoed during my talk at FOSS.IN was largely written by the audience at my talk. I typed it out on screen, but the audience was busy telling me what I should type. The primary requirement was to find out where the visitors to your website came from. The secondary requirement was that starting from scratch, we had to come up with a solution in five minutes. Given the medium of discussion (a large auditorium with a few hundred people), and the number of wisecracks, we probably went over the 5 minute limit, but that's okay.

    So, we start by looking through the web access log to find out what it looks like. Remember, we're starting from scratch, so we have no idea how to solve the problem yet.$ head -1 access.log 65.55.207.47 - - [30/Nov/2009:00:39:50 -0800] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 297 "-""msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)"This tells us that the IP address is the first field in the log, and that's probably the best indicator of who a user is.

    We now use cut to pull out only the first field.
    head -1 acces.log | cut -f1 -d' ' 65.55.207.47 Now I don't really care about the IP itself, but the subnet, so I'll just pull out the first three parts of the IP address (I think Tejas came up with this):
    head -1 access.log | cut -f1-3 -d. 65.55.207 And before anyone tells me that the -1 usage of head is deprecated, I know, but it's a hack.

    Now, I want to do this for my entire log file (or a large enough section of it), and I want to know how many hits I get from each subnet. The audience came up with using sort and uniq to do this:
    cat access.log | cut -f1-3 -d. | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10 141 216.113.168 106 88.211.24 80 91.8.88 79 78.31.47 69 199.125.14 64 216.145.54 62 173.50.252 58 193.82.19 57 82.69.13 56 198.163.150 Now, I don't know about you, but I can't just look at an IP address and tell where it's from. I need something in English. The audience came up with whois to do this, but before we could use it, we had to figure out how. We ran it on the first IP address up there:
    whois 216.113.168.0 OrgName: eBay, Inc OrgID: EBAY Address: 2145 Hamilton Ave City: San Jose StateProv: CA PostalCode: 95008 Country: US NetRange: 216.113.160.0 - 216.113.191.255 CIDR: 216.113.160.0/19 NetName: EBAY-QA-IT-1 NetHandle: NET-216-113-160-0-1 Parent: NET-216-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Assignment NameServer: SJC-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM NameServer: SMF-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM NameServer: SJC-DNS2.EBAYDNS.COM Comment: RegDate: 2003-05-09 Updated: 2003-10-17 OrgTechHandle: EBAYN-ARIN OrgTechName: eBay Network OrgTechPhone: +1-408-376-7400 OrgTechEmail: network@ebay.com # ARIN WHOIS database, last updated 200
