Some of you have been to the Live page, others have not; but very few of you have seen this before.
Turns out my AlphaCam wasn’t broke as I thought it was. Rather, I just needed to plug it into a good computer. So I plugged it into my main system like the other one is [...]

Google Line Tech Accomplishes Nothing

Last time we spoke regarding my intermittent Internet connectivity issues through Comcast, we were waiting for an LMC escalation to occur from any of the Contact Line ASAP Customers on my Node. Lo and behold, I ended up being the one to complain.
I called Call Center Supervisor Kieth when my connection dropped this afternoon. In [...]

Comcast Line Tech Finally Dispatched

Last I heard from Comcast, I was being considered for Contact Line ASAP pending an escalation to LMC. There was to be some deliberation and I was to be contacted within 24-48 hours of Thursday 2PM.
48 Hours passed, and I called to check. No progress had been noted on the account. Finally today (Sunday at [...]

Smaller Drives will Develop a Complex

  Need I say more? I ordered a 1TB HDD yesterday to replace two existing 500GB volumes which are both full of “Public Domain media governed under the Fair Use Act; which appears similar to a television show without actually being a television show”.
I ordered it 18-20 hours ago, and it’s “out for delivery” [...]

1. I was using CRT monitors, which are notoriously bad for pointing cameras at.
2. My cameraman / interviewer was using a handheld videocamera with no tripod, so the video [...]

Installing Visual Studio 2008 Beta (Codename: Orcas)

There must be a clause somewhere that I missed during my customary thorough examination of the EULA… Free? Professional? Maybe it’s just because it’s Beta 2… dunno. But sweet. Google “Orcas” to find it. Dev tools ftw.

The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease

Following up on The Saga of the Comcast Internet Connection, yet another Comcast Technician was sent to my house today.
As some of you will recall, Comcast bought Adelphia in late 2006. Comcast has replaced everything from my network to the backyard cable tap. The house is filled with brand-new coaxial cabling, and we’re on our [...]

Comcast Situation Escalates

As many of you know, I’ve been having trouble with my Comcast Internet connection since Comcast bought Adelphia sometime in late 2006. This post follows up on my progress, or lack thereof.
Yesterday, a Comcast Technician arrived for a service call and replaced the exterior coaxial cable and placed us on a different port on the [...]

Introductory Lockergnome Post

Well, my existing blog just isn’t making money (And officially, let’s say I want to be part of a community), so I figured I’d start one on Lockergnome, despite it running Wordpress, a blogging platform created in PHP by open-source hippies. But we won’t talk about that. I will continue running my existing blog on [...]
