This is Scott Salinas Music reel. It is an awesome reel. Scott used INTERDUBS for it. His company Critical Mass switched to INTERDUBS just a couple of weeks ago.
We are very happy to see how quickly they are able to make custom looks with our system. This one here, he made to match his personal site..
They save a bundle too we hear.
Bringing decommissioned hardware from the data center in the office in order to break it down. Turning the machines on it is amazing what kind of stench gets emitted from the machines. Not the disaster forbearing smell of burnt wire. Just that pure ‘cheap electronic factory’ odor.
real easy: just get allot of burocrats
Thanks Mike for tweeting about the website of Douglas Trumbull. Nice to see this being done so well. Great content with great presentation. Can happen on the Internet. There are not many examples of a site like this though.
This post is only a test.
Fourth system this blog runs on. Didn’t get any better by having more + more hardware though.

A recent svn checkout on a Centos 5.5 x86_64 of ffmpeg refused to link. It complained:
libavcodec.so: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_104'
The fix was as simple as
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
before ./configure. In a weird way it makes even sense.
The Cisco / Linksys srw 2024 is not really a bad switch. What is really sad that the web interface will only work in IE7 or before. It will fail in any modern browser. There is nothing fancy about a web interface for a network switch. No need to use anything IE specific at all. No need to seemingly do it in a way that IE8 simply stops working. I think Cisco should either stop selling the device, update it, or at the very least put a note in the box that it requires IE7 or below to operate. If they would care that is.
Leo Laporte realized that he was communicating into /dev/null. It is not surprising that nobody noticed it.
In the pre Internet age dentists with a literary ambition not no corresponding talent could ‘publish’ the book themselves. They dropped a nice amount of cash on a couple of palette of dead trees. Now, in the digital age they just can blog, tweet, update their facebook page. The googlebot might care.
Social media always has been a Ponzi scheme. Much like you run out of fresh suckers in the money ‘making’ enterprises you run out of audience. The difference is that the internet is able to give you the illusion of an audience. It seem that things are working. Everybody in the world COULD find that tweet you just made that is so brilliant.
People and companies alike often fail to look clearly at the actual effort and time that they put into the creation of the content and put it into relation of the size of the actual audience. Luckily failed virals have the built in effect that nobody notices them. But they still exist, and so do millions of tweets that nobody cares about.
The signal to noise ratio of the overall Internet keeps collapsing. People complained about the “Summer of AOL” last century. It is a blessing that we had no idea what was coming our way …
wanting to check out a free application for the iPad I had to go through the following motion:
1) tapping in search of iTunes store makes it crash. No message whatsforever. Just vanishes.
2) wondering if that is related to the fact that there are pending updates, so doing those
3) iTunes Store still crashes tapping into search.
4) cold reboot fixes sudden store crash. Can locate the app.
5) trying to download I need to sign in. Fair enough.
6) trying to download, but something has changed with the CC. It has not, but hell if Apple thinks so.
7) trying to download, but NO I have to pick a a salutation
8) trying to download, but NO, the terms have changed and I have to agree to them.
9) trying to download a free app, and -imagine that- it does download. Less than 10 attempts! to get something simple going.
