Kombawa from Disneyland.

Some time back I reported about dualcores and dos Programs conflicting and the resolution of using dosbox. The problem with dosbox O. 7O was that it would mess up the colors on the screen and it the Emulator was full screend it would Seriously mess up synchroneyes. As with all good software there ore con+inious upgrades and improvements. Dosbox Version 0.72 fixes every problem we have yet to have using the tadal Emulator in a dos emulator On windows XP.

Batsday Recoil...
here are some more pictures of Ba+sday that other people took, I will link to the galerys where these photos can be found and not just direct link to the pictures.


here is a good picture of pumpkin and jmyself.

The Disneyland Park yesterday featured an aura of foreboding, almost as though it sensed a disquieting metamorphosis. Could it be that this haunted park is actually stretching or is it BATSDAY!

Once again I have to say a great big thanks to Noah for another amazing event. Miah, thanks for the great time, we all need to go back to the park again some time and I can't wait to see the photos on your camera.

Speaking of cameras there were a lot of people to take my picture this year and when they post the pics in there portfolios I will post links here.

Here are some of the pics I took:

It had been a while since I had done a quiz.

Which Onegai (Teacher and Twins) Character are U?

You are like Maiku. You are not very sociable, and also you're a bit shy, introvert and quiet. Since you are more mature than others, you are also more serene and take thing calmly and seriously. People can trust in you. For you, the family is really important, so you protect it. U may like computers and things like that.
Take this quiz!

This happened the other night and I didn't get a chance to post it here until now.

Being that I go to the Zoo rather frequently seeing new critters happens every so often later that evening was something I had never seen before at the Zoo. During the pre-show for Talamasca, Rachael (the Quetzal bird) throws out beads and randomly picks people out of the audience to pull up on the stage to do silly acts. The first act is usually get a kid to dance or something, second is get a grown man to juggle handkerchiefs, usually the third is another kid stunt involving the kid tumbling. Last night however Rachael brought two adults, a man and a woman, onto the stage. They ended up doing a ring toss where the girl threw a ring (looked like duct tape) onto a pole the guy was holding while kneeling. The started off close, then with each successful catch they moved further apart. About six feet apart she successfully trows the ring, as the girl prepares to trow again the guy scoots across the floor and opens up a box in his hand! She said yes!

In all the years that I have been going to the Zoo, or any park, I have never seen a proposal like this. (especially outside of a Disney park) So I assume that a Giraffe birth is a good sign for the future of a marriage.

BTW, they both got beads and a plush spider (Talamasca).

_______________________________________________
Now for now

I just want to say thank you to everyone yesterday at the SDRF for such a great time. Funny how many people noticed me, I guess I did stand out. And Sarah thank you, it was a pleasure to see you dance. See you all soon. (I'll be looking for the Tower)

Just returned from the San Diego ComicCon. This year was beyond insane the nomber of people in attandance. The queue to enter, with per-registeration, streched over 1/2 way around the convention center. This was hampered by confused Convention Center employees telling many individuals that they did no have to wait in the pre-reg line like everyone else. This was occuring much too often, causing the line to back-up even further. Ironically the queue for at the door tickets were a fraction of the length and faster moving than for us whom bought their tickets online months ago. This is just bad show. Interesting the parking situation was about the same where officers were "looking the othr way" while people line jumped and even were switching lanes in the intersection, this is not good show to all of our out of town guests. Otherwise Comic Con was the same over crouded mess it always is. It's only redeemer is one stop christmas shopping and free stuff, that I will probably throw out anyway with the morning trash. Question does anyonestill play those rediculus card games(ie pokemon, you-gi-o etc.) and the role playin nonsence.

The other saving facto is the girls, enough said.

I have also learned that to save time when headed southbound from downtown LA instead of the I-5 (duh the worst interstate in america) take the 605 to the 91 and the best part is that by doing so you pass Knott's and when you rejoin theI-5 in Anaheim it's where the I-5 has more lanes than you know what to do with.

I still hate Vista, at work to switch over to the great Vista, for awhile anyway is mor hassle than it is worth.

The General staring Buster Keton is by far one of the best movies ever made. Anyone who has not seen this movie is not a friend of mine!

Speaking of film... I have found that when filming in digital there is a look (artifacts and stuff) that lack the look of true film. duh and the lack of filters does not help. I have found a fix so my "films" look better, magic bullet. the only problem is it is just so expensive, but aren't all video products.

enough talk and stuff
later all

the San Diego Zoo has begun there summer shows, this years Big! show is called Talamasca and features some aspects that we have grown to enjoy at the Zoo plus features.

OK I wrote this weeks ago But could not figure out how to post it from Windows mobile... opera was the answer. To post froma windows mobile device you must use the Opera Browser. I am still getting used to the Transcriber so there are some serious typo's.

New Ring Design

I just threw this together to show to the students an example of WCS in MastercamX2.

I will admit that sometimes the WCS will wrap my brain around a blender. Speaking of Blender, this model was actualy rendered in E-drawings not Blender like I normaly do.

Taking a little time away from midterms, budgets, etc. to just say,

Hello World

and, um that's it...


No, actually yesterday I went to the Westec show , representing my self and MACT@SDCC, at the LA convention center. I was rather sorrowed by the fact of how slow the show was. The obvious exceptions were Fadal, HAAS, and Mori Seki. The CAD/CAM companies just did not seem to be pulling in the crowds like in some years past.

Later that day, due to how quickly the show went by so quickly, I stopped by the DLR for some food (and most notably COFFEE). I have to say that the changes that Lasster has implemented are pushing through very rapidly.

Ok, now something serious-er. Intel has released the core2duo processor chip set. Through much head pounding we have learned that this processor when combined with Windows XP will not allow certain DOS based programs to operated, at all! Most notably for me was the use of the DOS based Fadal Emulator we use here at work. This program was written in the golden days of DOS and will not function at all under the current XP environment. This led to a difficult challenge due to the fact that the software is used for the verification of Fadal based subroutine's. So far the only fix that I have been able to implement is the use of DosBox to emulate the DOS environment. I know that in XP DOS is emulated any way, this has still been an uncomfortable transition. Up until DosBox release 0.70 the 0.65 release caused the emulator to sometimes display the Bolt Pattern Sub to not represent itself properly graphically. Also a problem with 0.65 was that all drive letters A through Z were always displayed. Release 0.70 has seemed to fix this issue however it is no longer compatible with the SynchronEye's software.

As I learn more on this issue I will post the results.

Yea Yea I know it has been a while since my last posting. I am currently totally exhaustedly and a bit bored right now waiting for the wrap crew to finish up. "Wrap Crew"? If you didn't know all day yesterday and into the midnight hour the crew from Veronica Mars were filming some scenes in the lab and the classroom. I do think that the four guys that I picked as technical extras had a great time, I know I did, even with the bouncing from one question to another. Actually it was termendious (sp?) fun! I got to meet a great group of people and eat some incredible food (the catering company is amazing)!

Just want to say Thank You to all of you at Veronica Mars who were here yesterday.
(BTW I finally got to see that Flash up close this morning, that will look so cool in the show)

Well it's been great posting again, but over the past 84 hours I have had as little as 14 hours of sleep and over the past 48 only 8 hours. I forgot how much work goes into TV. So trucks are about to leave and so am I.

Good night everyone.
