Western Montana Reporting: Since we burned over a million acres this summer I can add that you should save all your receipts while you are out of your home. Things such as food and lodging are most likely going to be reimbursed by your home owners policy and isn't something most folks think of when this particular situation arises.

Another Montanan here as well.

As the Lolo Peak Fire burns 6 miles from my house it is frustrating to me that the DNRC's hands are tied by regulation that prevents them thinning and keep our forests healthy. It is both a revenue stream for our school system and an important role in keeping the woods healthy. Unfortunately both wildlife and habitat conservation has some aspects that are counter-intuitive to most folks when they ask why taking an animal or taking a tree actually helps in the long run. This isn't meant to be a pro/anti regulation stance but a call for balance.

There is also the most important factor in fighting these fires and currently that number is 2, as in we've lost 2 firefighters during this season's wild fires.

As yet another alternative Runscope Passageway https://www.runscope.com/docs/passageway

Runscope can do this with the Passageway feature. It also has traffic inspector, request editor and the ability to do shared requests https://www.runscope.com/

and they're providing sample syntax files for Sublime Text, Vi and Emacs - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/interoperability/archive/2012/10/01/...

There is also "Think Like a Git" (http://think-like-a-git.net/), "The Git Cheatsheet" (http://ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html) and "Git, the simple guide" (http://rogerdudler.github.com/git-guide/). This might just be piling on to your 'yet another tutorial' list but maybe one of these will help it click for you.

I don't think Google Chromium (Chrome) uses the .NET ClickOnce installer but Google's own Omaha software installer

I'm curious about how an Amazon Publishing house stepping into the education arena might offer some disruption to the Texas Board of Education on their indirect grip on textbook standards. I suppose there is a chance of lobbing being replaced by a gaming of the system, as it were, but it might allow more visibility into the content that is being used in the your child's district. There is still the problem of the electronic media versus physical copies but maybe a Raspberry PI at ~$25 would make it more appealing.
