NaNoWriMo

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:00:00 GMT

It's a little over a day and a half before National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) starts. I have my novel cover graphic, outline and rough character sketches ready. I can't wait!

Rock star

I feel like a total rock star in this picture. I can't help but feel like this is a cover to a record album. It's my favorite picture in the bunch.

PDA

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:00:00 GMT

This image makes me think about babies for some reason. I thought I might share some ideas on what I thought it would be like, all my brave and naive ideas about raising kids that will almost certainly go out the window once I actually have one. I will save that for another post. Check out the lady to our left. She is clearly not comfortable with the PDA.

Curves

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:00:00 GMT

The lines in this picture are really interesting. The cement lines approaching the camera are straight but the building itself appears to have a slope. In fact the girl herself seems to be curved in the direction of the building. It's almost as if the intensity of the singer in the background is causing some sort of bend to the picture.

Latino

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:00:00 GMT

This picture reminds me of a cover of some sort of romantic latin band. The jacked conveniently covers the gun rounds on my belt. We went shopping the day before for a belt that didn't have any studs or bullet rounds and came up with a compromise that I accidentally forgot at home. I like the texture of the wall in the background. It seems to have as much personality as the other walls but without the vivid colors.

SFPD

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:00:00 GMT

One of the photos we took during our Oct 18 photo shoot was with this SFPD officer who looked like he was trying to catch people for traffic violations. Ken went up to his and asked if we could take a photo. Ken told us that this was supposed to be a sexy shot but it all happened so quickly that I didn't really give him a chance to turn this up a bit which is probably for the best. I really like the way he kept his stern look during the shoot.

Photo shoot

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:00:00 GMT

The girl and I went to North Beach today to do our engagement picture photo shoot. We've arranged for Ken Kato to shoot our wedding and when we talked it over with him we decided that we should experiment with something a little more urban. The day started of surprisingly sunny. By the time we got to these shots we'd loosed up a bit and started really having a good time with the camera. Over the next few days I'll be posting pictures from that shoot.

Scott London has some beautiful pictures of Burning Man 2008.

Missing water main

You might recall that, back in July, someone tried to rip off the water main. This weekend they were successful.

BRTC PBX with 7960

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 18:00:00 GMT

Once I had the soft phone working it was time to connect the Cisco 7960's to the PBX. The 7960's are wired (CAT5) to the Netgear router.

SSH to the machine 192.168.1.5 to install "P0S3-06-3-00.bin", "P0S3-06-3-00.sbn" and "brctc.bmp". The first two files contain the phone firmware. When the phone boots it will connect to the PBX system and download the latest firmware. The phones I have are running a really old version of the firmware so loading these files on the PBX will allow them to update themselves when they come online.

# cd /tftpboot
# wget http://www.qicboy.com/files/2007/10/14/P0S3-06-3-00.zip
# unzip P0S3-08-6-00.zip
# mv OS79XX.TXT OS79XX.TXT.rel
# cp OS79XX.TXT.rel OS79XX.TXT
# vi OS79XX.TXT
P0S3-06-3-00
# setup-cisco
# mv SIPDefault.cnf SIPDefault.cnf.rel
# cp SIPDefault.cnf.rel SIPDefault.cnf
# vi SIPDefault.cnf

# cd /var/www/html/cisco/bmp/
# wget http://www.qicboy.com/files/2007/10/14/brctc.bmp
