Dave’s Currently Crappy Blog

I don’t see on the website anywhere that says how many points I’ve earned already. I think it’s in the 300’s right now. Hopefully it doesn’t just start today since they’ve had some trouble with the website since I initially registered. We’ll see. If it does then I guess I need to get a new 1,500 points.

Here’s my nephew levitating.

So I finally got around to requesting that two more network ports in my cube get turned on. Today they came around and turned them on, meaning that the extra laptop and the mac laptop I have had sitting around, now have network access and are useful. Since my desktop got replaced last week by a laptop, I’ve been running it with two screens (laptop and monitor) since then. Now that I got network access for all the computers, I set up synergy on all three and I am now running three computers, three OSs and 4 screens all from one keyboard and mouse.

And I can copy and paste proxy settings from one machine to another, so I didn’t even have to type that stuff in. So far I don’t know what I’m going to do with this setup, except perhaps get some kind of a tan from all of it, but it’s pretty cool and people have been impressed so far, especially with the copy paste abilities across computers and across disparate operating systems.

w00t!

Since posting videos to my blog is fun, here’s another one. It’s Chris Bliss juggling to music. Very cool stuff.

This thing is great.

Here’s a digital painting I made last night from a photo I took at a Rockies game over the summer.

Somehow, for reasons unbeknownst to me, I’ve been banned from Slashdot. I wrote into banned@slashdot.org to find out why and they said I’ve been hitting their RSS feed (don’t know which one) 100s to 1000s of times in an hour since 12/19/05. Weird, huh? Especially weird is that I don’t have an RSS reader with a subscription to any /. RSS feeds at home, only at work. Anyway, for those of you who haven’t been banned, here’s a screenshot of what the banned screen looks like.
