Hey everyone, New Year, Finally the year of video blog (vlog/ vblog / something else here) or it would have been if I could have gotten the audio sync in wxcam to align to the video feed. I also played around with dvswitch and webcams (picture in picture) attempting to ressurect the plans for meta vlogging goodness. Look at me , now look at me, now back to me, what you do see ? Its just me. We need to go deeper. Did some further improvements to the manga downloader stuff in Python given that the source HTML stuff had changed, still not fully finished. Watched numerous anime including Black […]
Hi everyone, Still no spice collection, just a single canister of Mixed Herbs, and still no bookshelf, justs books in boxes, although I have a small LCD TV, but need aVGA cable in order to use it with the netbook or other computers. I did acquire icecream and apricot nectar and organic blueberries. 😀 . Though I am all out of icecream at present, so I will need to acquire some more, and also ration my consumption. Trying to slowly focus on side projects in order to ensure they get completed slowly rather than misplaced in the chaotic and busy jumblings of life and employment. Glad to be reading non-fiction […]
Hi everyone, How are we all ? Just finished lodging my tax. It was interesting, much more interesting than I first expected. I feel like I was playing Lemmings again, through a maze of legalize and taxation policy. Currently in a new place , in a new space, with a new list of things to get. Lots of nice restaurants around here, but I also relish in the return to ethereal methods of cooking, so much better than convective / conductive electricity based cooking. On that note has anyone ever cooked using Lightning ? I also have a microwave for the first time ever, but with the 福島県 nuclear incident […]
Hi everyone, I am really enjoying the cold weather. I would have posted earlier but I spent two hours last night coining Chionarchimaniation (the act of entering a hyperactive / frenzied state during the winter or when exposed to cold weather or snow) , to express a concept in I had in mind for this post. I still haven’t found a place to move out to, or a replacement netbook / laptop. I did buy a DWA-125 wireless dongle (for the Windows XP box on my floor so I can vpn into work) from Officeworks and was presently surprised to find that it uses rt2870 Linux drivers. I love the cold […]
Hi everyone, AC adapter on for net book is damaged, managed to get it working for the moment, replacement should arrive next week. When it does I will probably order some tools so I can repair the old one using cable splicing. Messed Ubuntu configuration on MID by updating a single package, then accidently reinstall older firmware including old Android, old GNU Linux and old bootloader, nothing starts up clean, and I will have to borrow or acquire a male to male USB cable to reupdate the bootloader. Work is fun, lots of Telerik familarisation, and lots of tickets to keep me busy.Managed to spend the test card from work […]
Hi everyone, Updates: I am slowly doing stuff with dvswitch, some of which will involve the new webcam I received (logitech hd c510, works with uvcvideo, though not with built in webcam in tandem yet). The dvswitch stuff is a side effect of my volunteering for linux.conf.au 2011, which was amazing. Other side effects include the development of my OpenWRT knowledge (I did lots of flashing of them for LCA) and getting to have fun in patch closets as well learning the basics about recording digital video. Additionally I am helping review the videos as well. Also got a yubikey or two from LCA haven’t done much with them yet. […]
Hi everyone, Lots of thoughts happening only out number the number of events that fly by as the seconds pass. I am almost hauntingly reminded to the lyrics of Arramaieda’s Moving Ahead or Ruth Apelt’s Spider and the Fly. Deja vu also occurs spreading its wing in to predicting the fiction that I peruse in this supposed reality. Productivity seems elusive, but that is probably because like so many other things I spend more time looking for it, then just ignoring it and existing and then it falling into my lap unnoticed. Conflicts rage in my mind back and forth like the stormy sea as to what course of action […]
Hi everyone, Lots of stuff going on, bits and pieces of various things flying all over the place, although I am lacking the bickering domestic animals made from cloth swatches. I have been having fun developing various projects in Python, JavaScript, C#, PHP and C++. I seem to update only once a month or there abouts, I probably should remedy that. Narwhal and RingoJS as CommonJS or ServerSide JavaScript solutions are interesting as was porting a code snippet from Python to JavaScript. However I then begin to wonder about interaction between client side and server side JavaScript, and if virtual DOM, or DOM based interfaces to Files or Databases can […]
Hi everyone, Just a quick post, with something that is totally both very important and not at all important simultaneously, that is correct it has Schrödinger importance of the highest level. Was on a bus today, meet random strangers on said bus, came up with movie idea, make a movie / series called ZOMBULANCE, the protagonist is a ZOMBULANCE driver and is the reincarnation of the Bruce Willis (the actor, not the character), (so he is an EMT / professional driver that wants to be an actor / action hero). Brief plot is as follows, immediate unexplained apocalypse involving zombies that gradually gets more convolved and convoluted in attempts to explain […]
Hi everyone, Before you panic and scream about the absence of my traditional eye burning (someone elses words not mine) purple and green theme, (which you won’t do, because as far as I know my reader base is asymptotic at present). This is just a notice to inform you that I have working headphones now, so audio blogs are incoming, along with lots of other fun content, and lots of interactive web, also I am finally redoing my WordPress Theme from scratch. Well almost scratch, I am actually starting with the HTML 5 version of Starkers by Nathan Staines . Hopefully after all these years of waiting the web might be […]
