PHP Gallery 1.4.3 is awesome
Gallery v1.4.3 is now Available! :: Gallery :: your photos on your website. I haven’t added to my photo gallery in forever. Of course, this means that all that software is old. Biggest pain is that since the move to a new backend server set at tqhosting, I’ve never been able to logon. Sigh, I’ll…

Cool guy I met today Jon
“Jon Kertzer”:http://www.kexp.org/programming/progpage.asp?showID=2&1413=38096.75-1&96=38096.75-1&20=38096.75-1&256=38096.75-2 knows so much about african music. You should check his show on KEXP. Its interesting to see how hard it is to find experts on a given topic. For instance a search for google:”African Music” leads you to quite a bit of junk. There is a something called “African Music Encyclopedia”:http://africanmusic.org that pops…

April Hardware Recommendations
Well, the short answer is that I wouldn’t buy a computer just yet because there are so many changes in the AMD product line in the next few weeks and then AMD are making big changes in 2H04. So if you can, wait a little for the near updates and get a better idea in…

Seattle Shorelines
Been trying to figure out various zoning issues. Amazing how much is on the web now: * DPD – Land Use Related Codes & Rules. The Department of Planning and Development (used to be called DCLU) has put all the regulations on the web. They even has the “Shoreline”:http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/2360.htm regulations in detail. Almost impossible to…

NV40 (a.k.a. nVidia 6800) Released
AnandTech on the NV40 vs. NV3x. A great piece on the differences between the current nVidia family (5900/5700 called the NV3x series internally) and the latest 6800 (called the NV40 internally). My brother works over at nVidia, so its great to see them getting back on their feet. The performance of the new NV40 is…

Portable Basketball Backboards
Well, the boys want a basketball hoop. Another great example of how trying a sport like B-ball creates a lifelong interest. Anyway, we don’t have room for a full hoop (although I tried lobbying for that!). Instead, a portable one seems like the ticket, but which one to buy? * “Gart Sports Guide”:http://www.gartsports.com/info/index.jsp?categoryId=222829&backTo=686679&savePath=711651.726616&infoType=infosport.

Watching DVDs on Airplanes
So, we are off to Hawaii pretty soon and Connie asked me, how do we get a movie for the squirmy kids. Here are the options: * “Inflight Movies”:http://www.inmotionpictures.com/. This is one of those .com businesses like Netflix that don’t seem to make sense, but we’ve actually used quite a bit. You rent a DVD…
