Blogging & Audioclaves

Joe and Morgan, the No Apologies crew, have a new blog set up the movies website. They will be able to write to it and update it while they are shooting in Asia. They are leaving in a week to continue production on their independent film in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. Should be a fun trip for them. Good luck to them and be safe. To support their film check out the No Apologies goodies in their store.

Flagstaff Downtown

The Flagstaff web cam is a great place to get an up to date look at downtown Flagstaff's heritage square. The web cam is controllable and just about anytime of day I visit the site someone is looking around downtown Flagstaff with it. The pan on the camera is almost 360 degrees and can even get a shot of the peaks. I usually go there to get an idea of the weather around town before I head out on my bike. There is also a less popular route 66 web cam. The website is run by Align North Media group who sells advertising space on the site. Getting a link on that site is a good idea for SEO(search engine optimization) purposes for Flagstaff businesses.

Running XP on New iMac

I was tired of making trips from my house to find a computer running windows. Only to test a page on picky internet explorer to find I didn't fix my glitch. So today I finally got a copy of Windows XP and got it running on my new Intel powered iMac. It was much easier than I anticipated. I was expecting to have to load my console utility and run some code with no idea what the outcome might be. Instead I downloaded a copy of Parallels Desktop and got a 15 day trial license. From there it was pretty much a click through like most Mac software installs are. I can even run each system on its own separate screen with seemless transitions. I am currently running 1 gig of RAM and I think its going to be imperative to upgrade. Processor power was more than enough on a 2.4g Intel core 2 duo. As soon as I saw it start up Windows XP I knew I was going to pay the $80 for a full license of parallels desktop. No more cross-browser issues for me.

Reed's Haberdashery

Capture Features is trying to raise funding for the production of their independent film No Apologies The Education of Gary Reed Meyer. To do so they have set up a store on the new website called Reed's Haberdashery. On the site you can purchase a DVD short of the movie, a Pull the Pin shirt, a Reed's No Apologies Beverage Glass, a Bomb Tie, A Rhinestone Grenade, or a four bung Absinthe Decanter. Pretty sweet stuff. Check it out and donate to the future of this independent film. Reed's Haberdashery.
