On hiatus…

… until my mind returns to me. Too busy in work and life to pay much attention to the blog right now. Maybe I’ll set up a Twitter account, because microblogging is really all I have time for right now.

I’ll give you three guesses…

… as to what the hell this is.

AT&T Transcontinental Cable Route

I’ve suddenly become fascinated with old AT&T Transcontinental Cable Routes (L-Carrier) and their markers. I’ve collected a whole bunch of markers and taken pictures of them…

If I get some more time, perhaps I will post a KML file. For the time being, look at them on Panoramio!

Anyone else got pictures and coordinates of markers, along with their marker numbers? Throw em in the comments – I’d like to start a hobbist database.

Video Capture Software

Anyone out there who might be listening have any suggestions on good video capture software to grab dumps from VHS tape to my computer using my TV Tuner Card? I’m using VirtualDub, but it’s being wonky. For some reason, if I dump audio without recompression, the audio will randomly slow WAY down then speed WAY up, then return to normal sample rate. It’s weird.

If I dump it and compress it on the fly as MP3, for example, it works okay. However, I would rather not dump to a lossy format just to have it re-encoded in a lossy format when I convert it to DVD.

Thoughts? Anyone care?

I have nothing better to do than complain about how I’m not good at something I really like, so here’s some entertainment based on that fact:

Who won?

Inanis won, natch.

Frohe Festtage!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Athiest (like me) or anything else – may this happy holiday season bring you warm feelings and happy memories.

(Christmas, to me, should be renamed to something else for us Non-Christians, so we can celebrate our lives and families without having to be tied to religious dogmatic protocol, but I digress. Take the Christ out of Christmas? No way. Take the Christian out of Winter? Hell yes.)

Testing posting from the Droid.

This really isn’t anything but a test post from wpToGo on my droid. Oh, the inane things we do.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Yeah, that wasn’t supposed to happen…

Really, all I did was install some updates and somehow (read: it’s my fault), the swap file on the server went away and then the server refused to boot. I fixed it, so it’s all good.

Long story short: I made changes to try to fix something and I made it worse. The server has been upgraded about a billion times and really just needs a clean install. I just have to figure out how to do that seamlessly. Easier said than done.

Inanis Glass 1.3.6

inanis — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:39:50 +0000

Inanis Glass has been updated to v1.3.6. I’ve made a couple of minor changes to the layout for blind readers, along with many aesthetic changes. Unless there are any major problems with NON-IE6 users, this will be the last version of Inanis Glass. Ever. Period. I mean it. Again.

My work has already shifted to Inanis Seven. You can probably guess what that’s going to be.

Download the final version of Inanis Glass here.
