I am now looking for a new job and am no longer with Sigma Electronics. My first preference would be a position writing software for post production or visual effects at either a software company or a post production or visual effects company. Other than that, I am also interested in positions or contract work…

A few Solaris 10 notes
Actually, these are primarily Solaris 11 notes, but they will probably all apply to Solaris 10 when the next release comes out, which I understand to be scheduled for sometime later this month. First, recently a lot of SCSI hard drives I’ve gotten have been a little mysterious about being used by the Solaris installer…

Flash on Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64
I run Ubuntu 8.04 AM64 on a laptop at work. I’ve been doing this since Ubuntu 6.10. This has not been a smooth ride. Ubuntu 6.10 i386 on my old laptop (I only “upgraded” because the old one was stolen from the plane on a busines trip) worked flawlessly for me. Things have gotten a…

Vanilla Extract
I made vanilla extract. Since I just followed the directions, here is the link. I can’t try it for 4 weeks, and it won’t really be done for six months. I hope it doesn’t come out weak. I dropped a bit of the seeds on the floor and decided to trash what was on the…

Pesto Tilapia on Tomato Risotto with Roast Asparagus
I made enough for 4 this time because I wanted left overs to pack for lunch. The tilapia was 1/2 pound rubbed with pesto from a squeeze tube, then fried. I didn’t love the flavor, and if I were to try fish like this again, I’d pick a different white fish, possibly haddock. Otherwise I…

About ReferURL

You also have the option of picking an alias for a referurl, something like http://referurl.net/r/xxx. Also, a common usage pattern is a bookmarklet…

Poached Egg on Risotto with Spinach and Bacon
The goal was to have something more than frozen pizza, or reheated spaghetti and meatballs, using only stuff on hand. Using up the spinache before it went bad was a nice benefit. I bought a lot of vegatables at the beginning of the week and haven’t been using them as quickly as planned. Now, I…

Must have Emacs Mode
If you ever edit javascript code, the only emacs mode to consider is Steve Yegge’s JS2 mode. The official page for it is here. The annoucement page is here. This javascript mode is an example of what more modes should aspire to. It parses your buffer into a javascript AST and uses that for syntax…

Making Soy Maple Salmon with Sauted Green Beans
I had planned to make teriyaki shark tonight because shark was advertised on sale. I bought the beans yesterday. When I tried to buy the shark today, I found that they were sold out for the day (but might have more tomorrow, even though technically this was yesterday based on what the clock reads), so…
