RasterWeb!
I started with this photo of a Cadillac we took at Z2 Photo, and did a bit of drawing on it. (The photo, not the car!) I’ve started to dig into the different ways the pressure sensitive properties of the Wacom tablet can be used with brushes in Photoshop, so you can see some of that here. I think…
(Once again a note for myself, but if you find it useful, well, you’re welcome!)
After a PHP upgrade, I noticed at least one bit of PHP code one the server wasn’t working (the TextLinkAds plugin for WordPress) so after a bit of digging around in php.ini, I found that this line was uncommented:
error_reporting = E_ALL
Which was causing warnings to spit out when some PHP scripts were run. I commented that line, and uncommented this line instead…
error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
…for a little bit less error reporting/warnings about things, and that fixed it.
I’m sure this is not a cure-all, as another site with the same plugin always worked fine, and was never affected, but still, I didn’t really like seeing those warnings (which I believe are harmless, but they may need investigating anyway.)
So there I was quietly trying to enjoy my lunch when I heard voices… I then found these two nutcases out back near the dumpsters with an old PowerMac so I grabbed the video camera and caught it all on tape.
They told me they may have more things that need to be smashed, and that I should be on the lookout and always have a camera ready… I told them that if they bring the smashin’ I’ll bring the camera, and we’ll see what happens.
Enjoy!

I wanted to draw some headphones, but I think they may look like Volkswagen Beetles leaving skid marks… or maybe balloons of Volkswagen Beetles on strings… or something. Do these even look anything like headphones!?
Enjoy!
As I get more and more used to Ubuntu and using apt-get I figured I should start keeping some notes. (btw, did you know that in the old days we had to compile everything!? Sheesh!)
apt-get kept crapping out on me with errors, some failed install I believe. This seemed to fix it:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives sudo rm -rf ./* sudo mkdir partial sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Yes, sudo apt-get update is in there twice. You may only need once, but twice shouldn’t hurt.
You may also have to look for trouble in:
cd /var/cache/debconf sudo rm -rf ./*
Warning: Unless you understand what rm -rf does, don’t type it!. It is a destroyer of files. Make a backup if needed. While these are cache files, and it should be harmless to delete them, remember that rm has no undo command.
Also, I’m running Ubuntu on an old G4 PowerBook as a low-power server (thanks to Dave from Kernel Design.) I’ve only had a few problems with the old “powerpc-linux-gnu” so far, mostly involving finding a BOINC client that will work. The typical LAMP stack is good, and the DAViCal install was painless.
