I’m building demos and lab machines for the Sales Kick off in Orlando next week.
I had a load of laptops that needed cleaning up before reinstallation. I even had a disk from my old production laptop that still had PGP whole disk encryption bootguard on it.
Trinity Rescue Disk helped out again. Delete the partitions; re-write the master boot record. Invaluable.
I hate it when Fedex leave my parcel at the sorting depot for a day; just to meet and not beat the 2 business day delivery.
The parcel //could// have been delivered today – 5th November – but that would be next business day.
As a customer I’d be //really// happy if I got things early.
I’ve been using Hugin for a few years now – following a recommendation from Nat.
The best things about Hugin:
So here’s my 5 minute how-to:
Get Hugin – download from http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/
Install it.
Get autopano-sift to do the point management from http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift/
Install it.
Get enblend to do the excellent blending of photos once they are stitched together from http://sourceforge.net/projects/enblend
Install it.
You now need to tell Hugin to use autopano-sift and enblend.
File –> Preferences –> Autopano
Specify the location of Autopano-sift
File –> Preferences –> Enblend
Specify the location of enblend
That’s it.
Add your pictures; do the magic – and you have some great panoramic pictures.
I’ve found that experimenting is key; you can get great results with some patience.
There’s also a manual for Hugin here http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=707719
I’ve been looking for a good quality, upscaling, multi-region DVD player for ages.
Alan tipped me off about Oppo – and I’ve just bought a DV981HD player.
Should be here Monday.
Apparently it’s $1000 worth of player for $225. Alan swears by his.
Novell has let go a lot of colleagues and good friends in the last month.
ZENworks Engineering and QA lost a lot of good people; their roles are being filled in Bangalore, India.
Also several UK friends were let go this week; and also people across the US.
