Fitting In, Moving Forward

This has been a somewhat turbulent and interesting week so far, and its only a little over half over. First of all: at this point I am enrolled in no courses that are directly taught by the sociology department. I’m really not sure what to think about this. The course I was originally in wasn’t […]

GITI v3

Working on GITI’s third version has been harder than any of the previous versions. V1 was an experiment that grew into a mostly-functional personal information manager. From the start is barely did anything beyond schedule items and some basic educational tracking stuff (assignment-level stuff). V2 grew out of V1 being structurally inadequate for the mission […]

Thinking About DNS

DNS servers are things we don’t like to think about, and as long as they are functioning we don’t tend to care to think about them. Every day we use DNS servers, whether to enact a query (to lookup a webpage) or to make domains accessible. This post will focus on the latter. Most of […]

On Registrars

I used to blog a good bit about domain names and registrars and such, but I haven’t done so much recently because in general life has settled down in that area. A long time ago I recommended eNom as my preferred domain name registrar because they were relatively small and they had a great support […]

Recent website outages

Recently my DNS provider began experiencing a DNS amplification denial of service attack. This resulted in all of my websites being down for a period of about two days. In an attempt to prevent this type of problem from impacting my websites in the future I have now added two backup DNS providers. When a […]

Advanced Digital and Pseudo-Digital Film Photography

Digital photography and film photography are different. This seems like a logical place to start, perhaps too basic, but logical.  For me there are a lot of similarities between digital photography and film as well though because after the analog printing process the negatives are scanned and enter my digital image processing workflow. My digital […]

An Update to My Developing Process

Over three years ago when I first dove into film photography and the related development process I wrote an article, The Developing Process. In that time I have adjusted some of the basic techniques a bit and have changed my materials as well. Last time was just a list of steps, this is perhaps less […]

Somewhere Between Film and Sensor

For the past two years a lot of my photography has been in the form of black and white film photography. I accepted film as a challenge: a new medium to explore and learn from. I have come to realize that I have taken film photography as far as I intended to take it and […]

Informal Summer Goals

I have placed a few informal summer goals for myself in GITI to guide me toward being prepared to write and defend my thesis on time.
