A friend of mine that I got paintballing with helped set me up with all my own gear. No more borrowing, woot! I picked up a BT Omega marker. It is really sweet and fires the paint smooth and FAST. I wanted a 3 round burst option but in the end I liked this marker so much better that I went fully semi. The mask I got is also amazing. No fogging at all!
Unfortunately I did not take a picture in all my gear this time, but here is a picture of the BT Omega to tide you over.
Last night I opened the freezer in my fridge/freezer combo to dish out some ice cream. The ice cream was really soft so I started checking out other stuff in the freezer, all of it was thawing. Pop open the fridge and it is way warmer than it should be. Turns out the cooling fins were totally clogged. Don't forget to clean yours out or you may ruin the fridge!
On the last True North Trekkers hike we passed a gorgeous falls, Narada Falls on Mt. Rainier. I was too close to fit everything in, so I took a series of 18 photos. These photos all have different exposures and contrast on them, and a couple were taken sideways (I don't remember doing that though). I used a free program called Hugin to stitch the photos together. It did a brilliant job of connecting them up, rotating a couple, and adjusting their contrasts similarly. Check it out!

Beautiful sunset from the parent's house.
All of the Web Development office computers at Northwest Nazarene University are managed by IT and contain a Windows XP image that is parceled out over the network. I do not particularly enjoy working on a Windows machine and today I ran across the Wubi project again. It allows a user to install Ubuntu Linux on their Windows based machine to try it out. There is no need for any extra partitioning as Wubi installs as a Windows program. It sits inside the Windows partition and can be remove at any time through the control panel, thus keeping your Windows install safe. Upon computer boot the Windows boot menu will pop up asking you to choose to boot Windows or Ubuntu. It works great and now I have my full Linux development studio setup again. Should have figured there would be a project out there that let me have my Linux without hurting the Windows image. Go Linux!
Check out a screenie. I even got OSX to run inside VMware Player inside my semi-virtual Linux!
