  • The Joy of (re)Discovery - May 31st, 2006
  • As I’ve mentioned …. I’m cleaning house here. And part of that is going through the stacks of [unlabeled] CD-R discs around here. It’s amazing what I’ve got feretted away on some of those CD-R’s. Tonight, I found some long-lost image files taken over Christmas, 2003!
    Hurray!
    Or, more correctly, Huzzah!, since they were taken at [...]

  • GTV’s New Master Control Room - May 31st, 2006
  • Here’s another recently nearly completed project - upgrading Howard County GTV’s antiquated, tape-based playout system to a nearly state-of-the-art media server-based solution.

  • Still getting calls? - May 26th, 2006
  • Although our home phone number has been on the Do Not Call Registry since its inception, we are still getting calls. The refinancing industry is the present culprit, with calls in the past month from two different mortgage companies. Maybe two isn’t as bad as the many we’d probably get if we weren’t [...]

  • is the economy really so bad that the manufacturers are justified in charging the same price for sweaters and blouses as in years past, but only making them with 3/4-length sleeves? can’t they afford that extra few inches of material???
