Dan’s got a brand new blog
And it is hilarious! So Dan finally got around to updating the blog I created for him on my server. He gave it a pretty witty name “I Bring Nothing To The Table” which is a great pun on our last name. (Although I recently found out he saw it on a T-shirt, so, while…

FarmerJoe – An easier render solution.
I’ve been very happy until now with drqueue. Developed by Jorge Daza, it’s a very nice render farm management software with a nice GUI. It worked relatively well for me for “Jose’s Dinner” and “Schrodinger’s Cat“. However, there were two big kinks in using drqueue. First of all, Windows support was so sketchy it might…

The Untold Rebate Check Story
As you know, unless you’ve been living under a rock, the US Government (USG) wants to give us all rebate checks to spur the economy along. All you have to do is file your taxes and you’ll get up to $600 if you’re single or $1200 if you’re married. What hasn’t really been publicized in…

New Distro Releases Coming up THIS MONTH!
Two major Linux distributions will be making releases this month and since I use both of them, I’m pretty excited! First up will be the Debian-derived Ubuntu.

To get one, go to http://en.gravatar.com/ and register one with your email address. Then use that email address when you leave comments on my blog. Right now I’m only allowing…

WordPress 2.5 has been released
It’s really funny because my brother just asked me to create a blog for him on my server and I was thinking, “Man, if WordPress 2.5 is coming out soon. I’d hate for him to learn the 2.3 interface and then have 2.5 come out right away.” But I set him up with a 2.3…

When Random isn’t so Random
I’ve noticed for some time now (yet, despite what I thought, have not blogged about) that when I listen to all my music on random, it doesn’t appear to really be random. It’s mostly random, but not random enough as I noticed some songs coming up more often than they should. At first I chalked…

Mario gets a small upgrade
When I first started playing with Linux I had a very crappy old computer; I think it was a 286. It was painful to try and do anything in Gnome or KDE, but it ended up making a pretty good server as it was the server that ran this site until late 2005 or early…

More Flickr Hacking
Over the last two days, between playing Portal and Age of Empires III (both of which are…awesome!), I’ve been doing a little more flickr hacking. This is very closely related to my previous Flickr program where I checked if my pictures were ready to be moved into the next views groups. This time I wanted…
