Live Right Now

For anyone who is intrested, I am live right now on trancesphere.com. My set is supposed to go until 11:35 pacific time so head on over and tune in.

New suse, firefox and a radio show

Hey everyone,

Good news today, suse 9.2 was released by novell. Anyone who knows me well knows that suse is one of my favorite distros of linux, and 9.2 (I have already been playing with it) is seeking to better something that is already great. For anyone who is interested, you can find more stuff Here. Also, new version of firefox was out on tuesday. They fixed something like 260 bugs from the PR of 1.0, keep up the great work guys. More info here. Finally, due to the success of the radio show a couple of nights ago, I now have a bi-weekly 1.5 hour set on di.fm. More info will be coming soon.

Edit to below, I will now be spinning on the main trance stream starting @ 9:30 for 30 minutes. They had a stream get accepted from club space in miami so I got bumped. Tune in anyway

Live and in the Mix

Hey everyone,

Short update for today. Becuase my computer is back up, I need to work on my hum project from last week, fun fun. For those who are intrested, I am spinning a 2 hour live set on wendsday starting at 10pm mountain. Tune into to difm.com on the progressive stream. If all goes well, I think we are going to make it a weekly thing.

Great news for the robotics team this week, enmax in all their graciousness decided that Knights Robotics was a worthy cause and donated $9000 to the cause. This gets us up and running at full spead as we have enough to cover the kit/regional entry fee as well as about $1700 additional to get the chassis built. GO ENMAX.

New drives = Crashed System

Exciting news! No, spaceshipone has not broken another record, but I finially got the extra storage for my computer. 2 new SATA 'cuddas @ 200 each. I figure that this should keep me in video editing for the next 6 months or so. Plus, a brand spanking new Enermax 500 to keep it all running. Minor side-effect; my system is currently down while I try to get it all running in raid-0. I got it to boot once but then it decided to get cranky and will not boot (I am writing this from the lowly confines of the carrer center computers). In addition, since my 'main' system is down, this also means I am without internet as 'big computer' acts as my network router from my house server. O low is I who decided that I needed more space. Tata Hum project.

Cherry OS

Maui X-Stream has announced Cherry OS, a Mac OS X emulator for Windows. The $49 program claims to run Panther on a PC. I find this very hard to believe, but I’m not willing to waste $50 to find out. If it is true, the authors will be shut down before you read this. In order to emulate a Mac you’d have to copy a considerable amount of proprietary Apple software and firmware. It seems highly unlikely that a lone programmer in Hawai’i could reverse engineer such a significant amount of code.

Short Stories and otherwise

To start:
If you are intrested in what I have to say about literature, ie. Reading Essentials, I am going to be posting my stuff up here now. The first ones are:
Covenant
A Minority
Horsemen in the Sky
I am going to continue to post this sorta stuff up here for comment and/or edit. In other news, best wishes to the reeves family today. Christ Reeves, star of the superman movies died sunday in his home, with family at his side.

Look for a new format on my site comming soon. I plan to switch over to a css/mysql based site hosted on a new server (no more blogger for me). Beta comming soon.

EDIT: Horsement in the Sky will not be avaliable. In its place will be Chump Change

Something cool that you may want to check out. GMAIL vutural storage drive, now for windows. http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm is the website. It seems like a sweet way to add a nice piece of attached storage (1gig) without the cost of a thumb drive or .mac (which is only 100mb). Nice haridoo too.

Exciting news today everyone. Incase I have not had a chance to tell you yet (which seems unlikely considering the number of people that I have informed) Spaceship One captured the Ansari X prize today at about 9:45 mountain time. Unlike last weeks flight, pilot brian binnie managed to keep the spacecraft on a smooth and uneventful trip up to and slightly above 100 km's in elevation. In other news, robotics message boards a up and running, so if you have not signed up yet, please do.
