2006.08.14 at 01:05 AM CDT A quote from a friend tonight while I was at Epoch Coffee, "Heaven is a girl's bathroom." He is so going to hell. :) Also, work's move was pwn'd by telco snafu. So we start this coming Friday instead. Whee... Since we're ready now, stress is gone until we actually start the move. Finally, very good boy-watching was had with Liz at Chuy's on Barton Springs earlier this evening. I'm expect she'll LJ about it for those who are more curious.
2006.08.10 at 06:15 AM CDT A quick list as I've been meaning to update and not had much time...
2006.06.22 at 06:05 AM CDT Whee... Final parts gathering, system build, and initial install of trimethylxanthine.epochcoffee.com is complete. APs should get placed tomorrow. That means finishing the installation/configuration of trimethylxanthine, initial QOS tuning, server placement, and testing are what remain (for Wi-Fi related bits). No, I don't know when they'll open. :)
2006.06.20 at 06:45 AM CDT I'm a bit late in referencing, but Voyager 2 recently detected the edge of our solar system, and signals from Voyager 1 were received by amateur radio operators (link in German). Yet more fun from spacecraft that are just a bit older than I am. :) And, said spacecraft will continue to operate for a while to come. Speaking of NASA projects that have done well, the Mars Rovers are still going, even though they've been in operation about nine times longer than originally planned. Next, in not-so-flattering (for Austin/AISD) news, some people in Austin are "up-in-arms" over some artistic photos of an art teacher at Austin High School. Whee... I just love it sometimes when Austin/Texas makes national news. AISD has a statement, and the local daily has a second article with some more information. My personal opinion is that said teacher should not lose her job over this. From what I've read and heard, student's probably knew about the photos already (or didn't care to know), so the supposed impact on her teaching performance and classroom interactions would have already happened. It appears no such negative impact was present, as she is/was well regarded by her students and supervisors. On top of that, should the fact that someone is an art teacher preclude them from participating in art outside of work? Would there have been the uproar if said photos had only been in a gallery and not online? Finally, could it have something to do with the fact that the photographer may be her girlfriend?
And now that you've seen the above recent photos... It has been a while since I've escaped the city to go hiking or just spend time at the ranch. I noticed this as I was driving to Houston this past weekend for Father's day, in that I enjoyed seeing the rolling hills, storm clouds, sunset, and uncluttered space, even though I was in my car going down the highway. However, I should have a chance to get away from civilization a bit next month when I visit my mom and a good friend in Massachusetts and Maine.
2006.03.07 at 04:15 AM CST It has been a bit since I updated. SOP I guess? Maybe I can do this quickly before I sleep... First, I have become quite spoiled by the PowerBook. :) And with this machine I continue to notice that for me, in most cases, a graphical interface is a way to have several text terminals, a web browser, maybe a music player, and a background photo (gotta have a bit of eye candy) all on screen at once. Sure there are times when I'm working on photos or running some Mac or Windows only software, but those time aren't the majority. Anyway....just a bit of rambling there for you. Other than catching up on sleep, my entertainment this past weekend was attending the 78th annual Zilker Kite Festival. As expected, I ended up with a "few" pictures. I've picked some hilights from Zilker if you're interested, or take in a few other recent photos below.
And finally a couple of quick observations... First, my ten year high school reunion should be coming up this year. I'll have to keep an eye out for more information on that. Second, I have been out to my family for just over ten years now, and later this summer will have been out in general for the same. Third, a while back I took some photos of a cute puppy while I was at Spider House. I eventually got copies of them emailed to the puppy's owner. And a few weeks after that I ran into her, again at Spider House. She mentioned that shortly after I met her the first time, someone stole said puppy from her deck, so it was good I got around to emailing her.
2006.01.15 at 03:35 AM CST Let's see... First off, happy 2006. :) Next, interesting things are afoot with regard to art, friends, a currently-defunct hangout, and so forth. I can't say much yet, but will likely have more information in the coming weeks. Stay tuned... I previously mentioned interface and other minor improvements I have planned for this site. They are still planned, but I've not made time to implement them just yet. Anyway, I've not forgotten, though I did split out my daily reads and other reads in the process of adding the reading page. Now for real news... A good friend of mine has recently been getting quite a bit of publicity for starting a new trend in photography. He has also started public group centered around one of his techniques. There has been enough notice taken that he has an upcoming gallery opening in Hamburg, Germany. Congratulations Ryan! Relating to photography, I have recently gotten around to sending my Minolta SRT-102 off for a tune-up. It is at least as old as I am, and though I don't know for sure, I would guess has not had servicing before. Also, my manager at work recently gave me a cheap 3.2 megapixel digital camera so that I would have a "throwable" camera. It, of course, was thrown before I left work that day. :) So, here is a very small selection of some of my recent stuff, including one camera toss.
Continuing with the trend of me spending money... I waited until Apple announced the MacBook Pro (which is a cheesy name in my opinion) to finally decide to buy a Mac laptop. However, I did not order the MacBook. Instead I got one of the last of the PowerPC based PowerBooks. While the MacBook Pro seems like a very nice machine and the geek in me thinks a dual processor laptop would be nifty, I ordered the PowerPC version for several reasons. Those are that I want a recent PowerPC machine anyway (before Apple goes all Intel), that I want the available CardBus slot for using my Cisco Aironet 350, that this machine will still be faster than anything I currently own, that I want to avoid spending another $500 or so on a PPC Mac Mini (which I probably would have, had I ordered the MacBook Pro), and that Apple's pro applications, such as Aperture, work on the PowerPC machines now (though I'm sure they will be updated to run without Rosetta on Intel Macs soon enough). In a final note (for this entry), I have now had a presence on the web for ten years (according to my own copyright notice in the page footer).
2005.12.14 at 11:35 PM CST I just saw tomorrow's APOD (it is posted at midnight EST) and thought that the Autumn Moon encore was a nifty thing. It would have been fun to try and do, had I known about it this past September.
2005.12.06 at 12:20 PM CST Some irc randomness:
2005.11.28 at 01:05 AM CST Whee... More pictures. :-) These are from the ranch (near Harper, Texas) over Thanksgiving.
And on another note, I have more features/UI tweaks planned for the site. They should appear in the next week or so.
2005.11.16 at 12:00 AM CST Just a quick post to note that Ryan and Thomas have posted pictures from Enchanted Rock and Trudy's during October.
