Dean Kamen showed some video of the impressive, mind-controlled prosthetic robot arm he’s invented today at D6 in Carlsbad.

This is absolutely fantastic, especially for the those who have lost limbs in Iraq!

This was actually made using Google Docs. Pretty neat!

Upgraded and surprisingly, no issues.  w00t

Sun assumes the X2100s are going to be run headless, and therefore, configures it output via the serial console. If you plugin a monitor into the video port on this nice little pizza box, you’ll end up w/ a blinking underscore. So, some safe advice… make sure you have access to a PC or laptop w/ a serial port and the appropriate cable. What makes this worse is that no where does it mention this in the supplied documentation. Doh!

I’ve not been willing, as with many of my peers, to install solutions from the big three AV vendors. Read on and come to your own conclusion.

Why popular antivirus apps do not work

We get a call from a new client, which is always nice. He proceeds to describe that the company he hired to create a new website for his company hosed his web server, SBS 2003 running IIS, which is sad by itself. I’m told that the company develops on either Linux or OSX and Apache and don’t seem to know IIS at all. They end up causing all these problems and not only does the client’s web site stop working, so does the clients intranet site. Sheesh. These guys even put the directory containing the website in the desktop directory of a user account rather than C:\inetpub. Sheesh! I’m no Windows fan, but it’s sad to see people messing up things like that. While it makes my company money, which I won’t complain about, it’s sad that we will now have to smooth things over.

Merry Christmas to all. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.

WoooHooo

As much as I don’t like waking up early, there’s something amazingly cool about waking up to hear your child singing songs rather than yelling or screaming “mommy” or “daddy”. It’s one of those joys you’ll never understand until you have a child of your own.

Talk about crazy Mondays. Issues and phone calls galore. I’m glad Jack is back and Paradox has his car back from the shop. Whew!

Automatic indexing with Apache.

A good write up and discusses customizing the view.

Well… Took the exam on Friday and…

I passed!!! Just have to wait for the official paper in snail mail. Awe yeah!

WoooHooo

It’s just a couple weeks away now. It’s always a blast, even though I’m not a 1337 gamer! The NMP guys rock.

Let’s see how this works…

So far this thing has been VERY easy to setup and even to change some minor things in the general look and feel. Not too many things have been easier to install by hand, IMO

Maybe something useful will be found here at some point?
