Project 366 2008 Jan 16 16/366
So, I had to buy a new motherboard for the Core 2 Duo processor that I was going to build a new computer with. The one I originally intended to use has died a premature death. This'll teach me to buy an electronic component and not use it for almost a year. The capacitors most likely dried out and after a few days the computer failed. This was before the holidays.
Well, the case for this computer is finally coming in after a number of upgrades in the family left me without an enclosure. So, now, hopefully by tomorrow I can finish this project.
So, what operating system am I planning to install? Some form of Linux. It's a toss up between Ubuntu 7.10 or openSUSE 10.3. I'm going to compare a number of virtualization technologies to run Windows with. Xen, Virtualbox, VMware. I'm going to see which one provides the best performance.
This circuit board is used in science projects by sixth grade students in a local elementary school, where I help out.
When ya got trouble, you better call in the experts to fix it.

*Bug;
A persistent error in software or hardware. If the bug is in software, it can be corrected by changing the program. If the bug is in hardware, new circuits have to be designed.
Although the derivation of bug is generally attributed to the moth that was found squashed between the points of an electromechanical relay in a computer in the 1940s, the term goes back to the 1800s to refer to flaws in mechanical systems.

"Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should? While we are working, we must be conscious of what we are doing. Sometimes we have the feeling that we have taken a great photo, and yet we continue to unfold."

Well, in truth disconnected, my elderly desktop decided to give up the ghost just before Christmas. Originally a Windows 98 upgraded years ago to Windows XP with memory and additional drives added I decided that it really should be retired. Thanks to regular backups little was lost, most of the components will go to a local repair shop to be used as spares whilst the hard drive seen here I removed for secure destruction not having had the opportunity to wipe it.

Petit essai macro... sans objectif macro.
Explications...
Cette photo a été réalisée en utilisant 1 boitier reflex et un object 50mm f/1.8 inversé.
Objectif monté normalement, j'ai tout d'abord placé mon appareil en mode priorité à l'ouverture afin de régler l'ouverture à f/8.
Tout en maintenant le bouton de test de profondeur de champ du boitier, j'ai retiré l'objectif du boitier. Je l'ai inversé en le posant contre le boitier (il est évident qu'il ne peut se fixer sur le boitier). Et prise de vue... La mise au point se faisant en s'éloignant ou en se rapprochant de l'objet photographié. Pour info, j'étais à environ 10cm de la zone photographiée.

You can buy this at Radio Shack for $59 and use a $40 coupon from Uncle Sam to offset the cost. It has a great and sensitive receiver, much better than my TV's.
Sadly, it has the "Left Channel Audio Bug" that seems to affect all of the LG based units -- when listening to 5.1 audio down-mixed that channels has a bad chirping sound to it.
This month’s camera club challenge was macro around the house. OK, let’s give this a go. I reverse mounted a Canon 70-210 Macro zoom lens to my Nikon D7100. Tethered it to my MBP and focused on the laptop with Sofortbild software for the Mac. I focus stacked and blended the images in an image editing program. After adding some tone and colour enhancements, volia! I just wonder why the FBI makes hard drives?
