Here’s a nice little home video of Kieran taking a bath outside, sucking up the summer heat. Direct link to the little 8-minute video here: http://vimeo.com/14196778

Sarah and I just announced (via Facebook on an Internets!) that we’re pregnant and have updated our http://paulandsarah.org/ website. Its been 10 years since the last update on that website, so going back and editing the “About Paul” page is a little embarrassing. I linked to the awful “User Friendly” webcomic, for instance. And listed “Hunchback of Notre Dame” as a favorite movie. I know I said that, back then, cause I hadn’t yet seen Titan AE for OMG-AWESOME-ANUMATAN example.

http://paulandsarah.org/aboutpaul is now a mix of 10-years-ago and slightly current infos, but needs a considerable re-write. Oh you plain .html flat files, you contain such a timecapsule of static data.

Back then, a java roll-over button (not javascript, but a full .jar) slowed down the site’s browser load-times. Now, my poor little server is digging out content from an overloaded database engine, slowing down the load-times. 10 Years of Progress!

Oh, BTW, we’re brewing a child. So that happened.

iRev, in its current home of a Celery 1ghz, seems to always be under a fascinating heavy load. I’ve been monitoring that load using a Windows Sidebar Gadget for the last year. I put together the gadget from example gadget scripts on the web, and while its not perfect it shows whats going on in iRev reliably. Only significant bug: one must go into the gadget’s settings at start up and hit the “OK” button.

Install the iRev gadget if you wanna try: http://irev.net/iRev-Server-Load.gadget

Its been a year since I’ve written a LiveJournal post or “blog” entry. Between a busy year at work sucking creativity and Twitter reducing thoughts to two sentences, there hasn’t been any motivation to write for myself.

Time to get back into gear, and a fresh website and new tools should get me going again. Nice portable laptop, new phone with keyboard, and my nice Nikon D50 camera, I have no excuse that there isn’t a way to publish. And, soon, I won’t have the excuse that I don’t have anything to write about. So, here I go!

Last night was the grand “media opening” of the production I’ve been working on for the last three months.  Engineering my portion of the show was incredibly stressful, had lots of room for errors and embarrassment, and took all my energy.  But, finally, the show is running, all my equipment is working properly, and even with no real practice or decent tech rehearsals, the show looked flawless.

Holy crap, what a show.  Its going to be fun to do this nightly.  Directing 9 cameras, all graphics, and calling the action.  Freaking crazy busy.  Woof.

Tonight at the Greek Food Festival, an overview of the folk idling in one of the common areas.  Long-ish exposure to kinda get some dynamic range.
