It was nice to pull out the camera again after such a long hiatus. My parents took me to see an old railroad bridge across the Guadalupe River near Comfort, TX (GPS cords: 29°58'36’’ N 98°50'45’’ W). Anyway, here is a shot of the bridge from below:
Well, Perian is finally nearing a release. I wonder how much press we will get over this one, since it is finally hitting version 1.0. Chris (project manager) seems to think that Perian will be bigger than Adium (which he also manages). Considering how well version 0.5 has been received (over a quarter million downloads), I think I now believe him. Then we get to start work on version 1.1, which will include optimizations to what we did in 1.0.
Well, for my future research, I needed a copy of ArcView. No big deal, it can be purchased form SELL here. Then they will burn you a disk and you are good to go, at least in theory.
I got my disk, and proceeded to spend several hours trying to install it. I kept thinking that there must have been something wrong with windows (usually there is whether things work or not), and so I went through the lovely process of repairing it. Eventually, I gave up and stuck the disk in my mac, only to notice several files on the disk were unreadable. So, I took the disk back and asked if they verify their burns and was told that they do not. They then offered to burn another disk for me.
