I was cleaning up today and found an abandoned Swiffer pole in the corner. I’ve been following the way of the strobist lately, and thought to myself, wow. what a nice 3 section monopod. The stock bolts wouldn’t fit a hotshoe or light mount (that would be too easy), but a bit of dremel action on a 1/4″ bolt, a hotshoe, and some velcro later, and I’ve got a nifty way to get flash away from my body but still under my control.

I wouldn’t trust anything heavier than a mini flash on this (my carena mini is pictured here), but it is small enough to toss in your lighting bag and forget about. Until you need it.

Apparently the WRT died at the Joe Bar. Rob just stopped by to pick up my never-been-on FON router and is reflashing it with DD-WRT. You may go back to your regularly scheduled table camping.

Aaron Baer wrote an Open Letter to the PTP, and it’s caused quite a stir.    Good reading.

This Windows based installer is very cool. Still some bugs, but it definitely works. Dual boot with no commitments. Make sure c:\boot.ini is read/write first.

I’ve been running ubuntu on our TV. It’s a Powerbook G4 (867) booting off of the firewire drive hooked up to an Olevia 30 inch LCD. If you have the same setup (it’s possible!?) xorg.conf | yaboot.conf

Edgy in a VMWare appliance. Boot a LiveCD in the VMWare player. Good for the Pyramid PXE ISO.
Anyone have Beryl working with an ati x1400 mobility?
