Flash fun: Animator vs. Animation

Posted by duane on November 2nd, 2007

Ok. So this has been around for a while but I just discovered it today.

Alan Becker has produced some very creative and entertaining flash animations. The basic story is that the animator creates an animation “victim” that then proceeds to fight back. There are two animations in this series, the second one appropriately entitled Animator vs. Animation II.

Also, a fan of the animations has created a flash game where you can play as the animator or animation. Lots of fun.

Go check them out:

Animator vs. Animation Game (there is an ad and an intro to wait through before you can play)

New Toy: D-Link DSM-G600

Posted by duane on October 18th, 2007

I picked up a DSM-G600 a few weeks ago and have been playing around with it.  Although there are better choices available now, as I discovered after I bought it, It is not a bad little unit for a home NAS.  It is linux powered, has room for one internal IDE drive (supported the Seagate 500GB 16MB cache drive i bought for it) and has 2 USB, Gigabit ethernet, and 802.11b networking; all in a small self contained unit.

Posted by duane on September 17th, 2007

Installing Vista on my HP zd8000 was fairly trivial with the exception of the built-in Texas Instruments PCIxx21 CardBus Controller four-in-one media reader.
