Eureka
LIVE|SMARTe ads for Eureka are incredibly funny. In searching for a link for you guys I came across this link to Made In Eureka videos. Here are the transcripts from some of the Live Smart Eureka advertisements, I think there was another that I didn’t get. (For those who don’t know, today is the Eureka [...]
Freeway Lights
I decided last night to finally head out and start looking for a freeway to compose a slow shutter exposure of freeway lights. It was an interesting project. One of the things that I immediately noticed is just how much I don’t notice any more. Things that you just take for granted. Where I live in [...]
Flickr and blogging
It occurred to me that the reason that I might get spam and unexpected users was because I linked my blog from my flickr page.
Doh!
Attensa (RSS Feeds via Outlook)
http://www.attensa.com/products/outlook/
A new hire suggested that we check out Attensa to keep up on the RSS feed of technical bulletins and alerts from our manufacturer, Nortel. This is easy to install and integrates well with Outlook. It also integrates with a few other applications, such as MSIE and Firefox.
So far, I’m very pleased with it’s functionality [...]
Wireless photography
I got my ML-L3 Nikon Wireless Remote Control the other day and had an opportunity to play with it.
I’m thinking about taking my tripod, d80 and wireless out to an overpass and get some highway car light blur photos.

The first thing that the construction crew did last week was break a window. We are having internal walls added to the building, and some kid was using the concrete-nailgun to nail down the wall frame (from the construction manul, step 1, establish the [...]
Preloading your posts…
I honestly could write a lot on this blog, but the problem seems to be that the time I have available comes in short spurts. Like right now, I’m doing laundry and surfing the internet looking for various things to help me design a portal. I like web projects, and between trying to re-design the [...]
Party time
Went out to San Francisco last night to see an old high school friend of mine. Showed up at this dive bar (I exaggerate, it was actually quite nice for a single room bar) with the DJ’s of Grime City and the Big Crew. The DJ’s were very friendly and not at all seedy, they’ve [...]
Certifications and training…
When I worked for Shared (4+ years ago) I had taken a number of certification tests and become certified. Nortel’s certification program was in it’s infancy when I first became certified. They had a number of support specialist certs (level 1), a number of expert certs (level 2) and an architect cert. Achieving the architect status [...]
