Snow!

For the first time in about three years we are having a really nice snow and the temperatures are not supposed to change dramatically enough to mess with things. The above image is at ISO-800, so not a really great image, but I believe it shows the  gist of things Photography in the snow is […]

Xubuntu Installation

After having my Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop fail the Ubuntu 8.10 install process due to a thermal issue for a second time, I returned to Windows. Today I found Xubuntu, which claims to be lighter than Ubuntu. I was originally considering it for a netbook computer, but decided to give it a shot on the […]

Problems with Emotions

The status page and the status module use an emotion list. I have played with the list a little in the past few days, trying to come up with emotions that work. The present list is way too lengthy (mostly obtained from http://www.mytherapistnc.org/emotions.htm). The list is also ineffective. At first glance it looks like it […]

GITI: Time Is Now Relevant

Upon a user request, in GITI Education, Time is now a relevant field for assignments. Basic time support has now been added to the Add, Edit, and View single assignment pages. With this update to the Education module also comes a change of intention for the “Date Assigned” and “Time Assigned” fields. The field labels […]

How much do people want to know?

Wasted IP Addresses

With the resistance of network operators and hardware vendors to accept IPv6, the lack of address in the IPv4 space is becoming more of a concern. I am personally wondering how many addresses in the IPv4 space are actually being used and how many are being wasted on frivolous assignments. Take for example, network 44. […]

Relearning My Old Tricks

One of my favorite things to do on my Fujifilm S5200 was take macro pictures. I have found that so far on the Nikon D60, it isn’t exactly the same process. Switching between the two cameras has not exactly been like moving between horses, they are two completely different beasts. The natural tendency for the […]

Strawberry Fields…In the AeroGarden

One of the strawberry plants that has not yet been transplanted out of the AeroGarden has begun blooming. This is a fairly small plant compared to the larger friends that were removed from the garden recently. This week I have to take these plants out and the starter tray and put them into soil so […]
