Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
…if you’re using mod_python and Apache 1.x do not, under any circumstance, upgrade to gcc 4. Bad things happen to your server. Also, don’t tell me I should be using Apache 2. I know that. I may make zulu upgrade his code, because that’s really the only reason why we aren’t. But still – Apache […]
When I started at SGI, the company was a lot more than over-priced graphics workstations. There was a tonne of work in data visualisation; taking huge quantities of data and presenting them in a visual format that’s easier to understand than just the raw numbers. One of the most compelling demos we had was a […]
This Toyota Rav 4 ad extolls the virtues of a loving relationship. It almost made me cry, I was so moved (especially the good-bye at the end).
I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’m a fan of mashups. I love how they can combine very different musical genres and make something better than just the sum of its parts (of course “better” is in the eye of the beholder). One of my favourite mashup artists, Mark Vidler, is releasing what he calls […]
Hrmm, I guess some people didn’t like the memo, after all.

Clarke leaving […]
While I can’t claim I like Ken Hitchcock, coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, I do respect how he operates. His goaltender, Robert Esche, was a little stinky to open the season, and hasn’t played since. Recently, when asked about Hitchcock, Esche stated “I don’t try getting in his head, that’s for sure. It’s an empty […]
Have you ever spent a few hours out and about with your shiny digital SLR snapping pics, only to come home and discover your sensor had a bunch of dust particles, and your pics need some serious retouching to get rid of all those grey blobs? I know I have, and sometimes using a blower […]
Adobe’s new photographic workflow product, Lightroom, is now available for download as a beta. If you take pictures for a living, or are a pretender like me, have a look-see. Also, might I stress that it’s beta? That means don’t use your only copy of an image with it.
This is definitely one for the “wtf!?” files.
I am sad to admit I’m actually a fan of the movie “The Little Mermaid”. But I am, so I’ll get over it. I have twice gone hunting for copies of this movie after the limited release had sold out. I once paid $280 for a sealed copy of the VHS release from 1992 for […]
