Drive Space...

It wasn't too long ago that 30 Gig of disk space was more than you'd ever need.  But today, I'm working on some random video projects and I'm tearing up 30 gig just for scratch space.  I have to delete and archive stuff between every disc!

Time for a new external drive I think...

Blue Man Group

Nice floor seats - the show begins: (uploaded live at 8:45PM from my Palm Centro)

And the obligatory audience walk: (horrid video from my Palm Centro)



More Photos from the show (flickr slideshow in Flash), again from the Palm.  Not a bad camera, OK video.  Great show!

Someone else likes IBM keyboards...

Walter Jon Williams, author of Hardwired, Aristoi, and other great cyberpunk / near future fiction, is another fan of the IBM Model M keyboard (clickey-board).  

(I have too much time on my hands...)

Alec at skate party

Doing a drawing for door prizes

Make that TWO teeth

Alec won some taffy at the skating party tonight, and welllll...  That second front tooth just popped right out!  He was a real trouper, though - just a little weirded out by the blood.  Now he has TWO teeth for the tooth fairy tonight!


Alec lost a tooth

He lost one of his front teeth today!

Decisions, decisions...

I'm about done with my bachelors at Park. Whee! Now, what to do next?

Park requires me to take Econ 101 and 102 before I can apply for the MBA program. WTF? Stupid requirements. So, that leads me to look elsewhere.

KU has an evening professional degree program, just down the road, too! But, what to take?

The classic MBA? Moo.

Or something actually fun
? Take a look at the course descriptions. Sounds like what I read for fun. . . (security risks, encryption and cryptography, viruses, firewalls, viruses, worm attack, Trojan horses, password security, secure multicast ) and stuff I've been wanting to learn for a while now (design and analysis of approximation algorithms; lower bound theory; polynomial transformation and the theory of NP-completeness...)

Maybe I'll do the fun one first, then if I'm still in the mood (MOO) for crap, I'll do the MBA. I can apply either or both to what I do at Sprint . . . (and have them pay for it too...)

Besides, the MS in IS is only 24 hours and a thesis. You mean I *have* to write about computers. Shucks. :-)

podcasting from Joomla

mini-Tutorial for LeBlanc's Podcast Suite v1.1: "a number of folks (besides me!) have been interested in podcasting from Joomla sites and have had some trouble getting started, so I thought I'd try to do a little tutorial on LeBlanc's podcast component"

I wonder if this works any better - I'm 6 hours deep in the code right now trying to make the default install work for simple podcasting at buzzaboutwireless.com
