Font Pestle
Finishing a product ready for the first sale is difficult. The time and extended effort needed to reach a point where money can be exchanged is not only difficult to estimate but the effort required is also difficult to muster. As the end draws close, distractions and diversions loom larger. As the end draws close, problems, concerns, and unforeseen tasks multiply.
Pushing a Mac Pro
It takes a bit to push a computer to it computational limits. Particularly a professional computer with many many computational cores. With this in mind, I was pleased to see my Mac Pro’s processing capacity limiting the encoding of my films.
Geese in the Park
Lyon’s Parc de la Tête d’Or is home to a large flock of geese. They roam the grassed areas. Children are enthralled by them and so too are parents. The parents staying close by waiting for the seemingly inevitable cry of an upset goose.
Automating SpamCop
I am not sure how effective SpamCop is. Once upon a time I regularly reported spam to the service. In return, I was occasionally rewarded with administrators saying thanks and putting an end to the source of at least some of the spam.
Le Tour de France in Lyon
As the cyclists appeared over the horizon the crowd surged forward, the police called out to move back, and a sea of camera phones were held up to capture the moment.
Fixing Mac Kernel Panic: ATI 5770 and NVidia GT120 graphics cards
Since replacing my Mac Pro’s two graphics cards with a single ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, the “IOGMD: not wired for the IODMACommand” kernel panics that plagued OS X 10.8 have stopped. I have not had a kernel panic since replacing the two NVidia GT120 cards.
Market Cherries
Cherries are back in our local market. They are piled high in mounds of red fruit.
Little Bubbles
News of the latest update to Power Manager is racing around the world. I know because I am watching it unfold before me. The traffic flowing around the DssW web site is placing small bubbles of activity over a map of world. Each bubble representing a page being viewed or an interaction with the web site.
Meringues
Two months since my first significant encounter with the French medical system and I am on the mend. I met with the surgeon this week. He confirmed all is well and progressing nicely. A welcome relief and nice to come away without needing any further appointments.
Rain Drops
While our guests were pointing their camera lens at the horizon, I had some fun photographing the tiny. The photo above is clichéd but it still looks great.
