This has been a heads down coding and production weekend. More than 200 photos and several hours of video have gone into the production of Justin's graduation video. It's been a fun project but for the first time I find myself considering a dual processor system. The x-serve is great but how well it runs as the primary desktop I'm not sure. Other notes include problems with the Contour Shuttle-Pro. For whatever reason it won't believe that I want to move forward a frame at a time. The other half the weekend included lots of PHP work and cleaning up several trees from the backyard. It's a large pile. More to come soon.

I finally got to getting the place cleaned up a bit today. This evening is sitting on the back deck, having a freshly grilled hamburger and a cool micro-brew. Yesterday's snow is passed and the tree cleanup is as far as it can go for the moment. In addition to the picture at right and the new theme the "essays" link is back above giving easier access to some past writings as well as the "notes" section with some tech notes.
