Hurricane Felicia

August 8th, 2009

I’m a little worried about the track of Hurricane Felicia. It’s projected to head due west, plowing straight through the islands. That’s not how hurricanes are supposed to behave in Hawaii! They’re supposed to stay to the south as they move westward, and every now and then one might hang a sharp right and zoom north to hit us. When a hurricane moves north to Hawaiian latitudes it’s supposed to weaken because our waters don’t have quite enough heat to keep it going. That is, unless things have changed. Is this a sign of… global warming? DUN DUN DUUHHH!!

Avoid compromise of your career and marriage!

My mother-in-law ran across a weird thing on her computer a few days ago. So she wrote down the error message exactly as it appeared on her screen, and gave the note to Judy to ask me about it.

Mom’s note started out with:


Install Virus Remover 2009
to scan your PC for malware.

Uh oh. That didn’t sound good.


Windows Security Threat

You have chosen to open
virusremover2009_setup_free_rezer_en.exe
which is a MS-DOS Executable
from http://download.desktoprepairpackage.com

  Open   Save to disk  

Based on what came next in her note, I assume that she clicked on Open.


This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

It was at this point that I started to laugh.

Easter 2009

April 11th, 2009

Judy reminded me that I haven’t posted a new blog entry in forever. Maybe this one will inspire me to get back to more regular blogging. We had our annual pre-Easter egg party yesterday and were rewarded with a slew of cool pysanky eggs. I’ll be posting better individual egg photos later but wanted to get this group shot up first.

Blog redecorating

April 13th, 2008

The observant reader may notice that the text in this blog now looks rather more crowded than it did before. This is not an accident — but it is a kludge. (A detailed explanation follows after the jump. It’s geeky and tedious. You have been warned.)

GigaPan

March 11th, 2008

The other week I went to Hanauma Bay with Rick. He brought along the GigaPan camera mount that he’s been beta-testing and let me play with it. I shot a panorama of the Bay which turned out pretty well considering that my camera doesn’t allow manual exposure controls.

Here’s a small version of the image on Flickr:
