New Feature

27-Mar-06

Technically an old feature, but there’s a new site for neon tech. That only means that the incredibly boring technical posts that used to be interspersed with the… ah… incredibly boring non-technical posts will be relocated there. http://comprak.net/neon_tech Expect nothing from it other than it being a whitespace.

Two Wrongs Make a…

26-Mar-06

Last night I decided to start downloading (via bittorrent) the records that were stolen almost two years ago. It started with my backing up of our records (well, mine so far – it’s a very slow process of cataloging all the cds properly on my somewhat slow laptop) and as I was perusing my stolen [...]

Paris Weblog

26-Mar-06

I’ve created a weblog that I hope we can update while in Paris! The link is as follows: http://www.prakashandlisa.com/paris Of course, once we’re back it’ll likely disappear, but while we’re there I hope we can leave updates regarding our first (of many…) joint foray into Europe. I have no idea how often it’ll be updated [...]

Isuzu Commercials from the 80s

25-Mar-06

The Isuzu Gemini If you’re a car nut, as I pretend to be, the driving in these commercials is absolutely incredible. It puts the BMW Films work to shame (which was actually very good). Dancing In Paris (at the end) is quite awesome.

Humility

24-Mar-06

It was simulataneously rewarding and very humbling to come to the realization that you’re not very good at what you do at all. Maybe more on the humbling and less on the rewarding. Either way, there’s quite a few mixed emotions about the last two days. At least there’s a vacation starting tonight! …

Geeky Stuff & An Admonishment

21-Mar-06

So I’m really enjoying the Godaddy hosted site. Aren’t you? It’s never off! It’s a little slow getting to here – and that’s because it’s a shared IP, I decided since the prakashandlisa.com domain automagically gets the IP (I don’t think it changes, but I don’t know), I just have the domain point to the [...]

The card arrived!

20-Mar-06

The 512mb xD replacement card arrived. I checked the contacts this time and none are scratched. I put it in the camera, and it booted up immediately without a problem. We’re officially ready camera wise for Paris! We can take pictures at 5mp in standard mode, allowing for 400+ pictures, or in fine mode allowing [...]

Day 5 & 6

19-Mar-06

While out on a lovely evening with Mare and Michael I managed to pick up a copy of Tribes: Vengeance for $5, new. Now, it’s an outstanding game, multiplayer wise – but it looks like people haven’t quite played it in a while. At most 50 people playing… but, it’s fun nonetheless. I’m thinking of [...]

Second Life (Day 4)

18-Mar-06

I didn’t play WoW today. It’s detox. Instead Mare and I played Second Life. It’s an interesting MMORPG – there’s no fighting or action in that respect – it’s basically a world with a ton of people and activities. Or so they say. Outside of the hub we didn’t seem to find anyone, but there [...]

Smart Cars!

17-Mar-06

The Car Revolution is Upon Us So it seems *finally* small cars are hitting the U.S. shores. Good thing too, I’m sick of SUVs (no offense to those who have them, including *sigh* my family). I drive a small car, and Lisa’s car is somewhat bigger but still small – but to those who either [...]
