Picking a Tripod

I am pretty good at knowing what I want most of the time, at least materially speaking (relationships are harder). My search for the perfect tripod is not going that way. I have decided I need a new heavy tripod because in certain conditions my tripod has too much play with the D60. I have […]

The Tag Phenomenon

What is the big deal about tags? You can tag photos, you can tag blog entries, and you can even tag your bookmarks. What is the point of tagging? I have just written the tag code for GITI. It is universal code that can be used by all modules for interacting with the GITI Tags […]

Feeling Perverse

I am by no means the most sexually driven person in existence, in fact, any one who knows me knows that I care very little for actual sex. My sexual world consists of a variety of fetishes and kinks. My interests range from a simple foot/sneaker fetish to bondage and on the upper end of […]

GITI’s Biggest Problem

GITI’s biggest problem as far as development and module completion is my inability to create an effective and useful UI. I can’t see in my head how things should look and outside of the first few modules I don’t really know how I would really want to present things anyway. Cookbook is the present module […]

The Scope of a Blog

This blog began as a way for me to record events during my college career. I began as a very frightened freshman, and had a lot of anxieties to expose to myself and to my readers. I have grown out of my anxieties and have become more of my own person since then. Things still […]

500mm Moon Pictures

Here is a shot of the moon I took tonight using the new 500mm reflector lens. The new lens is interesting. It puts a haze over everything that I photo except objects that emit their own light or have a substantial glow about them. This shot is a little blurry, but that is a result […]

The Joy of Psychology

This evening while preparing for a quiz in Theories of Personality I discovered (or brought to consciousness, depending upon if you are a Freudian or not) that I really like Psychology because it is a very modern thing. People who wrote the theories I am learning about are still alive (most of them) and the […]

Warm weather

The snow has melted and it is as if we have gone straight from winter to summer in just a few days. Luckily the nights are still cool and the weather is not too unbearable yet, but 80 degrees in March has me not looking forward to what the weather will be like in June. […]

Problem with Mini Windows

I have had a less than fun day trying to install Windows XP on the Mini 9. First, had to image the system so I could restore it, that required: Getting GRUB to boot a USB key Managing to make Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex Live run Figuring out a terminal application that does not fit in […]

Entering Mini World

In keeping with my mother’s tradition of strange gifts for my birthday, she has this year decided to give me the world’s smallest computer, a Dell Mini 9. It is almost like a laptop, except it only has a 4GB Solid State Drive and 512MB of RAM (although a 16GB SS D and 2GB RAM […]
