Diary of a Network Geek

So, last month, I was talking about rolling your own distro.  This week, it's rolling your own LiveCD.

Who says I don't listen to my readers?

So, one of my readers wanted to know about watermark applications to protect her photos before uploading them. Well, I'll be honest, I haven't worried about that too much, so I didn't have a ready answer. But, a little Googling and a little experimentation turned up three freebies:

PublicEnemies

I love movies.

I saw Public Enemies and The Proposal this weekend. The best part of Public Enemies, I'm afraid was the bits of Chicago architecture and the fight that broke out in the theater which required security.

This seemed timely...

Okay, I love night photography, though, from my photos you may not know it.  Frankly, I think the whole Flickr 365 Days self-portrait project is starting to wear on me.  But, you know, I committed to it, so I'm, well, committed to it!

Kind of a specialty item.

It seems like this comes around on a regular basis.

Remember those fancy custom campers from last week?  Small time.  What I really need is an airplane fit for a James Bond villian.

Well, okay, maybe not non-geeks, but non-network-geeks, at least.

As many of you well know, I am almost always pressed for time. That's partly due to my work, which seems to include more and more front-line support and less and less networking coolness. It's just the way things go. In any case, ...

I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it has all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.

I wish I had fewer opportunities to define myself.

I saw The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 on Friday.

I'll be honest, I was hoping to talk some folks into going to see The Hangover again, but also, I wanted to get out with some folks I don't normally get to hang out with. But, those folks were more interested in Pelham 1-2-3, so that was what we saw.
