podzilla - iPod Linux

I happened accross this site from an article I read in the July '05 Macworld Magazine.
If you own a 1st 2nd or 3rd generation iPod, you can install Linux on it! Besides bonus features like free tetris, sketch pad and calculator programs, you can record at 96 Khz. All you need is a mic! The os only takes up 5mb of space and creates a dual boot system. There is non audified video playback too. All for free. I caan't wait until the 4th generation iPod version comes out. I plan on installing it.!!

my new web site

I registered a domain name and bought some web space this past weekend.
There is nothing up yet, but soon joshvito.com will be the coolest site around, right behind elmwoodstrip.com of course!

I've been very busy lately, Murphy's Law has been in full effect for the last 2 weeks at work. I have also been trying to slipstream some RAID drivers onto a custom instal windows XP install disc.
If anyone knows of any helpful sites for adding third party drivers to a windows xp install without the use of a floppy drive, let me know PLEASE! Can't microsoft just get rid of the damn floppy drive?!!! grrrrr

I had a great weekend. I saw star wars 3 on fri night. The movie was awesome. I recomend it.Even my girlfriend liked the movie, and she has not seen any of the other movies. I am the star wars uber geek, so you get a thumb up from me and one from my un baised gf That's 2 thumbs up!
I also took the girlfriend out on sat for her graduation. It was my first time at Mother's. The food was spectacular. Then I ended the weekend with some beers floating in my friend's pool. Heated to 90 degrees!! Also, throw in a buch of hours playing starwars KOTOR2. Can't wait till the work day today is over. I will have a relaxing evening, maybe I'll go see star wars again!

the new xbox!!

Check out the new specs on the Xbox 360!! I wonderr how much it will cost.
I plan on buying one as soon as there are a few great games!

The system is going to open up new avenues for game developers!!! The low poly models we are used to now(which are awesome by the way), are going to look like dodo next to the graphics on the 360!! The xbox 360 can process 5x the polygons per sec!!!

If any of you have ever worked in an office, you know how great it is to get out of the office for lunch. So, I am really bummed because today, there is an office lunch meeting at noon.Mandatory. YUK! I bet they are going to tell us more about how they are moving the company to Newark, the armpit of the world. At leeast Ohio has less county problems!Maybe I will go to lunch at 11am, and come back for the meeting at noon and eat again!

Canisius - Paul

Paul,
I am sorry to hear that Canisius didn't hire you.
It is their own damn loss! That's how I would look at it. I bet there was some sort of political reasoning behind their decision. I am a contractor in the prepress department at ma printing company. The company hired a new prepress individual, and effectively skipped over me. Their reasoning was this; I already worked for them full time, so let's hire an outside person and we will have that extra person. The higherup management only approved one hiring, and I was told I would be the next addition to the permanent team. I am still a contractor 9months later. Needless to say, I will be moving to Pittsburgh PA in the next couple months. Shhh don't tell them, they/it ddoesn't know anything yet!!!And I will be sorely missed, or so I am told.

what do you think?

Today at the job, I noticed that one of the 50 web sites my company maintains doesn't work properly. I am using mac OS X 10.3 with firefox. So I tested the same site on a pc with firefox. The site didn't work there either. I asked one of the developers, why the site was down, and the reply I got was, "we don't test cross platform." Does anyone else besides me find this ridiculous? We are a 10-15million dollar company, and the main source of our revenue comes from web based orders, but we don't test on any platform except internet explorer!!! What is wrong with mac users' money? Does anyone besides me use firefox?

long day

Have you ever had that day at work, whwhen you look at the clock every 10 minutes? It is very slow at work right now, and there is little to do. I should start a project, like archiving old data, but I am not in the mood. I just want to go home and do something creative.
