I’ve been asked a few times which tools I use to build the panoramic pictures.
I use Hugin with autopano-sift for control point generation. I also use enblend for smooth blending.
There is a great manual online now at the Hugin Wiki – http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin
I wrote last year about the 3M Privacy Filters; I’ve not worked with my laptop and confidential data on a flight in over three years.
I recently purchased the filters for my team; I must say I am impressed. They are unobtrusive – and really work.
My usual list of housekeeping:
All in a days work.
… And now my laptop is dead and will not boot.

I’ve been demoing ZENworks Configuration Management to partners across Europe for two weeks with no problems at all. Mainly running a live demo from my set of servers at home.
It’s risky – I might have a power outage, WAN outage, local issues – but so far so good.
I’ve also got a fully virtualised demo on my laptop incase things go bad.
Today both failed.
Internet access was via an authenticated proxy – and for some reason I couldn’t connect to my servers at home. Then my virtual demo started to get sick. Firefox kept hanging, Windows went slow, DNS stopped working. It all pointed to a networking conflict of some sort.
Eventually the technical team opened up their firewall so I didn’t need a proxy – and the demo looks great.
Two things I’ve learned again:

It’s crap.
The previous incumbent had painstakingly written about 10 pages using FrontPage; everything was static.
Editing requires patience. Mass changes are impossible.
I knocked up a replacement in WordPress in about 5 minutes.
