If ever wondered where all those gossip sites (The Superficial, Perez Hilton, Popoholic, etc.) get their scoops?
From the Courthouse News Service. Interesting stuff from the litigious side of the law.

I found this neat thing…a screensaver that shows live images of network surveillance cameras worldwide.
Not working on a Mac at the moment, I have to wait till the Linux version is out…though if I really felt like it I could probably port it. Nah.
Anyway, the search string that they use to find the source images is

So, being bored out of my mind at work, as usual, I found what looks like a camera watching a tank full of manatees. At least I think they are manatees. Every now and then some food shows up on the surface of the pool, and sometimes you can catch the reflection of a person walking by the tank. I usually size a window to the picture and let it sit in the corner of my screen, and watch the manatee’s, or what ever they are, drift about.
I get home, and I don’t wanna watch TV. It’s only a bit chilly out, its temperate, and verry humid.These days, I’ve got projects that cant seem to finish on time. It’s really starting to get annoying, and i want to start yelling at programmers, but that wouldn’t help the situation.
It’s autumn, and this is how autumn goes. Projects slow down, money dries up, and you settle in to try to make it with what you have, and deliver the best possible to your end users…
You know, I haven’t posted to the blog in a while - I think to myself…
Well, as you can see not much activity over here lately.
I’m busy as HELL at work. I’m building things here at home, trying to fix my toilet, and working on getting the cluster in the basement to run MM5. In the process of doing that, I tried to upgrade the OpenSSI clustering tools that i was using.
That was a mistake, because now i’ve broken the cluster completely, and have to start from scratch. I really loved that OpenSSI toolkit. it made getting up and running super easy. Now, there are certain things built into the OS, but there’s not really a set of tools that you can use to build the environment that I want, and make it easy-one-stop-shopping.
So, I’m going to begin to document my experiences re-building the cluster in a set of articles here.
Enjoy.
