I run adsense on the blog – it keeps a few pennies trickling in. All of the content is context driven.
I keep having to filter stuff I don’t care about – baby formula, dating agencies, a whole load of Chinese ads from when I was in Beijing. Newest one is ‘Mormon Ringtones’.
Sigh.
I got a new rack a month or so ago – now it’s in the basement and I’m moving the servers into the rack.
I ordered new shelves (bare rack – no rails!) so slowly but surely the mail server and web server have been moved.
Next step – moving the internal infrastructure and putting it on a new internal subnet.
UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: “We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.
How strange. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6295138.stm
More memory for the firewall and spam server – it’s been getting hammered recently – over 1000 spam emails per day.
Hopefully this means email for Grandpop, Rachael and everyone in Utah will be working better.
(Just a clarification – it’s just the family in Utah who gets mail through this box – not the whole of Utah..)
It’s always sad when old hardware dies.
Time to kill off the last old Compaq box:
A bomb proof Compaq Proliant 800. Running as a backup server for six years now.
I’m on the lookout for a replacement – anyone from Dell, IBM or HP offering some eval kit?
At last HP have released basic drivers for the HP Photosmart 7150 for Vista.
They describe these as “basic” – I’ll report progress later.
This download includes a Print Driver only. This driver makes it possible to use the basic functions for the printer. HP will not be providing a Full Featured Software and Driver for this product; therefore, some functionality may be lost when you use this product with Windows Vista.
Driver is available via www.hp.com – the direct link is here.
Back to Collanos 1.1 – and the good news is that most of the bugs seem to be ironed out.
I’m now sharing several GB with my team; performance is good if tweaked.
My friend Laurence Pitt (and one of his friends) are driving this delightful Mini Metro from London to Prague. Via the Alps.
It’s all for “Charidy Mate” – so go give a few pounds – http://www.justgiving.com/beryl2prague
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 spent some time this morning on the forums for the ZCM open beta.
A frequent comment is regarding downloading the ZCM ISO – it’s 4GB in size.
I recommend testing the md5 hash – I use Digest IT 2004.
