Windows errors
Category: computers
Just about every computer in the mobile classroom started up with
these errors. Why does windows XP always suck? Are the newer ones
better?

RTVScan is the real time virus scan for Symantec. That application is not the best sometimes.

They wear mouth guards, so he probably just got... twisted into it.

Still, that is hot.

Street Paint byebye
Category: buffalo
On the newly completely boulevard in front of UB south campus, the
paint is already almost all worn off. It makes me wonder if that new
kind of concrete street really works out. Do they have to repaint it
every year?

I remember reading an article about this somewhere .. of course now I can't remember the municipality. The highway superintendent said they could use paint, which only lasts a year, or some kind of tape which lasts much longer but is more expensive. He said the tape was so much more expensive than paint that it was still cheaper to repaint the roads every year. Score one for technology, I guess.

They must. It's how they waste the city's money - just like they stretch the repairs through the ENTIRE summer and half the winter every year.

At Schuele Paint on Summer
Category: housing
I saw this flyer an it was interesting for two reasons.

1. I really can't understand why a presentation for something like
this would be at lazerton.

2. I realized that having a pile of flyers is becomming less and less
necessary since people have camera phones. I barely ever take paper
anything anymore.

Teaching myself inkscape
Category: linux
I spent years using illustrator but now that I am dead set on a FOSS path I decided to learn inkscape. I was following this nice wiki article on inkscape for illustrator users

The one thing that I really miss is the gradient mesh tool. Just about everything else is fine for me, but that one feature made illustrator so awesome. It looks like some people are working on it for inkscape so it may happen sometime but in the meantime, blah.

Tonight, I followed this guy's tutorial on building a rock with inkscape. I think the tools are pretty neat still, althoug it is hard to train you hands to do something other than what they are used to.
