Two Bad Movies and One Not Bad TV Show
I haven’t been doing a lot of gaming lately, as the last couple of consulting projects have kicked my ass free time wise. I think they are done though, or at least in the final stages. Just have a couple of implementation details on one and that should be it. Of course, if the 80/20

New UFies Box Progress
New hardware is coming along. Other than sounding like a 747 taking off, it’s a sweet box. Sadly the default Gentoo install CD didn’t include all the right drivers needed to boot up properly, so I burned an Ubuntu install CD and plan to do a standard Gentoo install via chroot from a minimal install.

Sucks To Be Me Today
… or at least that’s what Darren told me. Some odd random grinding noises last night turned into non-random grinding noises, so I dropped it by the mechanic that luckily is right by the place I park for work. Less than an hour later I get a call telling me that not only have my

115 Megapixels??
Does something like this Scanner Photography Project put the megapixel war to rest? 115 megapixels (with a 15 second to 5 minute “shutter” time). Pretty cool. Now I just need to find a spare old flatbed scanner to play with and some random large format camera bits off of ebay (or similar).
Why the Internet Sucks
Pages like this just piss me right off. To most of you this will probably show the Showtime US page with (I assume) information about my latest favorite TV show, Pen & Teller‘s “Bullshit!”. Sadly, when I view it, I get a page with this text: Sorry We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however,

New Hard Drive Space… Almost
Well, today I finally made the plunge of actually starting to set up the new hard drives I bought at Christmas. I played around a lot with EVMS and LVM under VMWareas a way to maintain the disks, and add or remove space (and devices) as needed. Basically the situation I have is this. I

Home Server Upgrades
Last night I took this server down for an hour or two for some upgrades. First of all, it got de-dusted, and I discovered even the hermetically sealed P160 case is subject to dust and spider webs 🙁 I backed up my RAID5 data array to an external drive and then installed the drives I

New Server Incoming
Well, last night I headed out and met up with Fred for dinner and to collect the new UFies.org server. Good to see Fred again as well, caught up with each other (damn you for moving so far away!). The server is gorgeous…. a 2U, dual hyperthreaded 64 bit system with 6 gigabytes of RAM

Amateur Studio 360 View
Someone posted a nice link to their own studio, using the funky quicktime 360 virtual tour thing. Nice looking small setup, something think about for my own endevours. Course, I still need to set up and learn all about studio lighting. In a related note, a post your digital darkroom thread is there with various
