Some of us old UNIX Ubergeek's remember this. I just wish it was still true in todays UNIX's!
Rule of Modularity: Write simple parts connected by clean interfaces
Rule of Clarity: Clarity is better than cleverness
Rule of Composition: Design programs to be connected with other programs
Rule of Separation: Separate policy from mechanism; separate interfaces from engines
Rule of Simplicity: Design for simplicity; add complexity only where you must
Rule of Parsimony: Write a big program only when it is clear by demonstration that nothing else will do
Rule of Transparency: Design for visibility to make inspection and debugging easier
Rule of Robustness: Robustness is the child of transparency and simplicity
Rule of Representation: Fold knowledge into data, so program logic can be stupid and robust
Rule of Least Surprise: In interface design, always do the least surprising thing
Rule of Silence: When a program has nothing surprising to say, it should say nothing
Rule of Repair: Repair what you can — but when you must fail, fail noisily and as soon as possible
Rule of Economy: Programmer time is expensive; conserve it in preference to machine time
Rule of Generation: Avoid hand-hacking; write programs to write programs when you can
Rule of Optimization: Prototype before polishing. Get it working before you optimize it
Rule of Diversity: Distrust all claims for one true way
Rule of Extensibility: Design for the future, because it will be here sooner than you think
This is going to be used for UNIX howto's, procedures, processes, programming, and my rants!

Hi Ho Hi Ho back to Google I go...
Due to unforeseen issues, I just don't have the time anymore for onlybsd.com and my Opera blog anymore. I will be keeping my FreeBSD Wallpaper site but it will be hosted again on Google Picasa. I hope that I don't have the same issues again. I will also have my Blogger.com and my Google site. But that's all. I want to also add OpenBSD, NetBSD, and DragonflyBSD web albums. So keep the pics coming in. I will at least post 3 times a week on my blog. I have it scheduled as an appointment!
