Geeky comment

Today I upgraded my DVD-RW DRU-810A firmware from version 1.1e to 1.1f. I noticed the manufacturer released the new version in April. As it turns out, among other stability and speed improvements, they have fixed a very specific issue with Memorex DL media, which is great for me. I have a pile of Memorex dual layer DVDs, and could not use them to their full capacity for either media or data because the burning process failed every time during the layer change. I just tested a disk, and for the first time ever I was able to fill it with data to its max capacity

Aaron

I hadn't been to my good friend Aaron's site in a while. I took a look, he always has very interesting postings that intrigue me. Have not had a chance to talk to him in a while, but judging from his Flickr photo stream, Aaron, his wife and their son Nate are doing great.

Music

Listening to Mika's Grace Kelly, cool song. Since I am multitasking, doing a million things at the samer time, and iTunes is still processing away taking up most of the CPU cycles, I went into Task Manager and told the OS to give the application the lowest possible priority (I don't care whether in takes 20 or it takes 30 hours.) That's the equivalent of spawning a process with "nice" under Unix, Linux, etc.

Pictures, friends and guests, summer 07

Here are a bunch of pics from this summer that I had been meaning to post for a while! All taken from my Blackberry, so the quality is not up to par as compared my other pics. They cover a few weeks, going out with friends Kaye & Ace, hanging out with ex-colleagues from work, Toni's visit, Eva, Juanito, etc.




5th Ave Pavement Repairs

Kind of a rare event, the city is repairing the pavement in 5th Ave. The've busted it all up and there is have machinery working on it every night, they cut a lane or two at a time. Looks like a major project, I guess it may take several weeks before they get done with it. Here are some shots from my phone, both night and day.
