This was the first week of school, but for comparison legitimate mail rose maybe 10% W-F and 20% over the weekend. I was thinking it was getting bad the week before. Hopefully it was just compromised machines again being online, and it'll go down and they get cut off and cleaned.
CRS published a report about FEMA and more specifically the PDA process last week. Interesting summary on what the guidelines are, why they are guidelines and not requirements, and why they aren't more specific.
There have been a bunch of these (CRS reports, not necessarily FEMA related) recently that I've wanted to read. I may post a few more of these once I get through them.
BRIO Network Rail Play toys. It's a train set, but with an email theme. Found through Jesper's blog.
I actually just watched Serenity again this weekend, and also ordered the Collector's Edition DVD (which supposedly shipped early this morning, but which seems questionable to me). Maybe Joss just figured out how to easily push sales, but if there's any possible truth to the rumor that a sequel is tied to the sales of the CE disc...
Primarily as a note to myself, as finding the right info in a search can be a pain, especially getting them all together.
$ sudo vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
$ sudo /sbin/service snmpd start
$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig snmpd on
$ sudo /usr/sbin/esxcfg-firewall -e snmpd
I've been backlogged on uploading photos lately, partially because of lack of space for processing on my laptop HD. After letting it sit and reclaim space today so I could have more than 500MB free, and then later copying ~600 photos from last weekend from CF cards onto a drive, I decided it's time to find a better solution. I've been suffering with iPhoto since switching to OS X, and its ridiculous wanting to maintain a "Library" is rather annoying when dealing with a laptop. I know I have friends who are into photography, so thought it'd be worth asking on here. Has anyone used Aperture extensively? Is it worth the $99? Any other programs you have used, maybe without such high system requirements (as I'm guessing they mean hot and loud laptop)?
A demonstration video. Not only is it a really interesting way to change image size, but tweaking the weights to remove objects very quickly in a way that at least at first glance looks natural is cool. Since they use gradient magnitude, I'm curious what technique they use when enlarging to prevent the inserted line being reused for further enlargement. It could be that it's important to always used the original map rather than reanalyzing each step. I may have to find the paper.
