Computers per Sqare Foot

  1. Take the number of computers in your house/apartment/fridge-cardboard-box

  2. Take the number of 100-square-foot chunks in your house/apartment/fridge-cardboard-box

  3. Divide one above by two above.

Like this:

  1. 10

  2. 7 (700 sq ft)

  3. 10 / 7 = 1.42857

Now you have your CpSF score.

Update:

After cleaning house, the new score is:

5 / 7 = 0.7142857

Work, Work and more Work

This week we prepared to open one of our new hospitals. As part of the go-live, we had a commandcenter that we had to staff 24/7. I got the pleasure of working 3 6am – 2:30pm shifts this last week.

The first day was alright.. the second day was bad – but the third day was not too bad, surprisingly.

I did still take 1-1.5 hour naps in the afternoon after coming home each day – which was actually fairly pleasant. 🙂

Thursday after work, I got to rush to the airport and pick up my dad – who’s visiting through the 4th.

We’ll see if I manage to get up early next week – well, thursday – since I have off monday/tuesday.. Oh, I will indeed enjoy the 5-day weekend. 🙂

Ciao.

Photography and Lighting

The Strobist blog is currently doing the “Lighting 102” semi-course/follow-at-your-own-speed-and-learn-something.

For those of you who know me, you might/should know that I am fairly interested in photography, but lately for whatever reason, it’s fallen on the back burner more than it should.

I fully intend to follow along with the Lighting 102 “class” and to participate in the assignments and lessons, but I might need a nudge or two from you, dear readers, to make sure I stay on track and shoot more than I’m currently doing.

The End.

Motorcycles, oh my

What do you get when you mix 45000 motorcyclists, 11 miles of road, police escort and the permission to run every red light and stop sign along the route?

The Republic of Texas biker Rally of course.

Actually, there’s more to the rally than the friday-night parade downtown.. It appears to be three days of food, drink, women and lots (lots!) of people.

Most of which I didn’t participate in.

I did, however, participate in the Friday night parade from the Travis County Expo Center and downtown. 11 miles of (sadly) slow going, no stop signs, no red lights, and police escort.

Funfun.

The only damper to the day was that I managed to lose my helmet during all this – apparently it vibrated off the back. That’s what I get for not fastening it down better, I suppose.

On the bright side, the replacement helmet I got is much more comfortable, has better ventilation and looks just as nice.

All in all, a good weekend.
