The ShaneCam

September 29th, 2003

This is the official announcement of the ShaneCam. You will find the last six shots taken by the ShaneCam in the pictures section. I purchased this camera about two years ago, but never really used it. I will let it run and see what happens...it even has a motion detector on it and it will be fun to use.

So, the glimpse into my psyche gets deeper...

UPDATE:

The ShaneCam has moved to Flickr. Search for the tag “shanebirley” and you will see all of my ShaneCam photos.

If I Were A Dog...

September 29th, 2003

I would be sicker than one. It is official, I am sick. I can't believe I am sick. It is amazing. So, what did I do today. I have taken it easy and have built another computer. I got some of the parts I had laying around and built a new server. It is running Windows Server 2003. It is pretty funky. Very XP-ish.

So, what did I do with the server? What have I built it for? For one, to play with and check it out, but secondly, I have set it up so that I can run my webcam. Yes, I know what kinds of things should run on a computer. So, I have got it set up to take a photo every hour and the last six photos are in the pictures section. So, check them out.

Off to get well.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
