Students are checking plants for pest problems. One of their monitoring tools are yellow sticky cards which trapo flying insects such as whitefly, fungus gants and aphids.
I decided to enlist my powerbook for testing. I tested 640x480 and 800x600 and the image was very good, I'll need to do some color calibration to get the best possible image out of the display, but I was quite happy. The final emulation computer will be a 2.4ghz pc with an arcade vga board.
An ASUS VG236 120 Hz '3d' monitor.
I've been wanting a 3d monitor for a while for playing with 3d photography, 3d video, and yes, also 3d gaming. And this one was on sale, plus I had some store credit at ncix, so I figured I may as well buy myself something.
Unfortunately NVidia's 3D Vision system only works with GeForce cards in Windows. No linux. For Linux stereoscopic 3d one needs to buy a Quadro card, which are, like, $2000+. Hopefully either the price of 3d-compatible Quadro cards comes down over the next couple of years or someone writes stereoscopic 3d drivers for GeForce cards in linux. In the meantime 3d will only work for me on Thangorodrim and not on Tol Galen. (And right now it isn't even working on Thangorodrim - I'm pretty sure it's an issue with my KVM switch. I need to wait for my new DVI cables before recabling things.) (UPDATE: Working now. Not a cabling problem but a driver problem. Install new video drivers and everything is working perfectly (in Windows 7) now.)
Unfortunately re-arranging my computer stuff meant I don't have enough long DVI cables, so now I have to wait another week for the longer cables to come in before everything is set up properly. (Plus Ubuntu is also complaining about a disk error, so I need to dig up my Ubuntu usb key drive to try and fix that - hope I also don't need a new harddrive now ...)
We monitor for early signs of escaping pollutants with electronic buoys. They float just outside the silt curtain. Here, one buoy gets fresh batteries.
Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)
This is one of the cardinal parents that have made a nest in one of the trees in my backyard. For weeks I saw the pair preparing the nest, and just recently I noticed that they were actively feeding some chicks in the nest.
The problem is that the tree that they've chosen is very unstable and gets blown around by the wind a lot, esp here in north Texas. The wind has blown both chicks out of the nest. The first time, one of the two chicks did not survive the fall. I put the surviving chick back into the nest. The next day I found it on the ground again, still alive. I put it back in the nest again. A few hours later I found the chick on the ground again. This time I scooped it up and took it to a local wildlife shelter. They are caring for it now, much to the dismay of the original parents. Ah well, hopefully they will learn to build their nest in a more stable tree next year.
NOTE: Whoa, after seeing this on my work monitor it appears as if the saturation is a bit high. I might need to re-calibrate my photo-editing monitor.
After the strips were neatly lined up I put scotch tape over them. Then I peeled away every other strip.
It looks like a HMS Queen Elizabeth or HMS Valiant in the main picture.

Sapi Island, Borneo. This beast wandered down to the beach and ate some eggs that were thrown to it. There were two monitor lizards skulking about at the time.

Chuck Taylor and Gabrielle Nadeau from SkyMotion Video were filming at the Three Sisters on September 3 for a NL Tourism Video. Their mobile video camera looked like an alien invader. The cormorants and the gulls were less impressed that I was!!

The reptile that reminds you of the dinosaur age..
Thieves used to climb big walls by tying a rope around a monitor lizard and throw it upon fortress walls. The Udumbu would grab on a crack or cleft and the person can climb on the rope... the Udumbu grip is treated as that strong....
The ornate monitor is a species of monitor lizards native to West Africa. They live in lowland rainforests. Ornate and Nile monitors are often confused. Although they have somewhat similar markings, they are very different animals, and they are now recognized as separate species. There are many simple ways to tell them apart, look at the tongue.
A Nile monitor has a dark blue or purple-blue tongue. An ornate monitor has a pink tongue.
Hope you enjoy my pics!
