I finally got SS 1.5 to compile as a FAT universal binary. It was all that stupid DotMacKit.framework’s fault. I got off my ass and actually put in the new one.

The only thing I have to worry about is making sure the Take Screenshot function works. It was inverting the color on Intel boxes. I think I fixed it though. I sent it off to a friend with an IDK box, so hopefully he’ll get back to me.

Public beta will hopefully come yonder this Christmas. I can hear you giggling with glee already.

I found this story on /. and Digg, and I had to check it out. It’s a story of a guy who got ripped off by an online camera retailer. These stories exist for two reasons: one, to help get justice for the guy who got screwed, and two, to warn others about the scam. Check it out. Their site is PriceRitePhoto.com, although it looks like its getting slammed right now.

So I’m a mirror for Evening at Adler. I’m priveleged enough to have a server with unlimited bandwidth and a 10 MB/sec (that’s megabytes, not megabits) connection to the Internets, which means that I’m fortunate enough to be able to share this awesome video with the world, very quickly. Most people who have downloaded the video so far have been in the 200 KB/sec range, which means that I’ve got enough bandwidth to serve 50 people simultaneously at the full potential of their broadband connection.

Table

Not terribly hard to do, but it looks like a Cocoa table now.

It scrolls!

So now she scrolls. Now time to put a table of content in there.

I got out of my last class of the quarter a few hours ago. All I have left are exams next week. My exam schedule is as follows:

  • Monday: Calc 2
  • Tuesday: CS1

That’s it. ^^

As the title says, ATi now has a new application that lets you transcode video from one format to another at the GPU level. It only works with the X1000 line of their GPU’s, but is very fast from what this article says. How fast is it? Try a nearly 5 minute clip ripped from a DVD and transcoded into MPEG-4 format in about 24 seconds!

I’m writing this from Flock because I have nothing else to do.  This seems pretty slick.  I’ll have to play with it more.

Saw was an awesome movie. Sure, the acting kinda sucked, and the story was full of holes, but the overall twists and turns made for an awesome movie. That and the gore. Lots of gore. Oh, and the fact that you felt like you were in that crappy (pun not intended) bathroom. All of that added up and made Saw awesome.

So, you’re probably saying to yourself, “couldn’t they have just made Saw 2 like Saw?” Well, reader, Saw 2 failed on every count, including gore. The acting sucked harder, the story had more holes than John Roberts’ testimony for Supreme Court, they dodged most of the truly gory shots (with the exception of a few awesome ones)…nothing! The Jigsaw Killer has his prey for his games, but the story isn’t even about them, it’s about a cop! WTF!!!!!!

Rating: 2/5

Febuary 2003 – Bought the computer, 80 GB total

January 2004 – Added 2nd hard drive, 160 GB, 240 GB total

June 2005 – Added 200 GB external hard drive, 440 GB total

October 23, 2005 – Replaced 80 GB drive with 250 GB drive, 610 GB total

Today, I replaced my 80 GB boot disk with a 250 GB disk I got on the cheap. In reality, because hard drive manufacturers can lie to you for some reason, I’m closer to about 568 GB than 610 GB, but hey, why not.

It’s definitely a beautiful thing to go from 4 GB available on your startup disk to 171 GB.
