Monday, June 29th, 2009

It appears that Michael Jackson died due to chronic Zydrate abuse.

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial
And the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery
And the Zydrate gun goes somewhere against your anatomy
And when the gun goes off, it sparks, and you’re ready for sugery
Surgery!

I got a strange kind of spam today; I see stuff like this once in a blue moon :

It’s not trying to sell me viagra, cialis, or anything like that.

Hmm, lets see if there is any more detail we can glean from the raw message :

Nope, nothing more interesting, really. Very strange.

I blocked out my actual dotmac address; no I am not baddragon…

Perhaps this is a botnet sending instructions to their sleeper cells?

Arty Farty Effects at 1000 - 2500 FPS

I-Movix SprintCam v3 NAB 2009 showreel from David Coiffier on Vimeo.

Here is the first SprintCam v3 showreel, made for NAB 2009 exhibition.
Mostly 1000FPS shots, made during a recent rugby competition in the Stade de France, Paris.

Don’t forget to use the download link for best experience…

2009-05 edit : new 1080p is finally available here : http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=497250

A mirror file is also available, if you only need 720p H264 file : http://www.filedropper.com/1857709

edit2 : as I’ve read somewhere that Phantom can actually go faster than Sprintcam, I need to add one information that may be useful to tech freaks : shots in rugby competition were 1000fps, but red jelly is actually 2500fps!! So I’m sorry for Phantom lovers, but at least for now, neither Phantom or any other model won’t go that fast at full HD res…

Too Much Innovation

Does The Linux Desktop Innovate Too Much?

<kosh>Yes.</kosh>

I’ve been waiting for this kind of article to come from inside the FOSS camp. I hope it is just one of many pebbles voting for the usability avalanche that leads to stability and greater traction.

In the mean time, I’ll stick with my proprietary locked down GUI which is based on a certified UNIX platform underneath, both of which do not get in my way and merely help me get my daily work done without getting in my face.
