Section still missing. I know that there is still the photography section still missing any sort of content. I am still working on that, but it is the same problem as setting up all those computers. I need the time to work on it. I have four websites that need some major work on them, and those last two computers, so I still got some work in front of me.

Last 3 computers I did finally get that one computer finished and set up and it is folding now too. I am hoping I will have some time this weekend to work on another one of the computers to get that up and going too to finish off that rack of computers. This will be all I can fit on that shelving unit and also be the last I can use with that KVM setup on the shelves. KVMs are so awesome. I still need to figure out what to do with that last computer though. It seems to be working fine and probably will for a long time because it is actually one of the IBM eServer machines, not a cheapo commodity computer.

More computers In the last few days I was finally able to get some work done on that pile of computers that was given to me to turn into dedicated folding machines. There was 11 in that pile of computers. I determined that 4 of them were either dead, or would require more time and money than they were worth, so those are going bye bye. They are already by the door waiting for a resting place. That leaves 7 of them that seem to work. Then I got a shelving unit set up for the rest of them for compactness, and the shelving unit was given to me too, so I can't complain about that either. I ran the power cords and network cables over to them all. I got all the cables hooked up and the KVM set up and ready to go. I was able to get 4 of the remaining ones completely set up and folding. They are slow machines so it will be a little bit before I see any increase in my stats. I got a 5th one mostly ready to go, I should be able to finish getting that one up and folding tonight I think. It is just finishing up running another wave of system updates to finish that one off. There is only one more that would fit in this shelving unit and that one looks like it works, but will be a little bit of effort to get Ubuntu on it. Not sure when I will get to that one. As for the last computer, it works and has an OS on it so I know it works, but I don't know where to put it and I don't have an extra monitor to use to set it up. Tari is the best because she doesn't complain about me having 14 computers setup and running in the house.

Movin' on up This weekend I broke the 2600 rank mark for my Folding At Home team. I guess (extremely) slow and steady is my way to top of the charts.

Two updates I also released updates to two of my other projects. Both of these are big updates and have been working on them for a while. They can both be downloaded at www.ozzieburn.com. The first one is PoorManSysMon. There were several bug fixes and tweaks, but the main feature of this update allows you to monitor all of your machines that have PMSM installed on them right from one window. This takes a fairly good sized browser window to view it all nicely, but it is a lot of information to display. The other one is EnhancedDirList. This one has been a lot time in the works. I have made a lot of changes to it. Very few of them are obvious as to what the changes are, but they make it work better, faster, look cleaner, and provide more flexibility. I also incorporated some functionality for it being the core of the other new project I released called PHPFileMan.

A new project I just released another new project. This one is very simple and does not have a ton of features, but I find it useful for what I designed it for. I needed some very basic file management functions without having to SSH into my machine, or FTP to it to make some minor changes. The project, called PHPFileMan gives me those functions. Download it over at www.ozzieburn.com and give it ia try.

Cosmetic Surgery So this site went under a little cosmetic surgery recently. All of the changes are subtle and the functionality of the site remains the same. Do you notice the difference?

New Project Yesterday I finished up a new project. This is not just a new version to a project I already had, but a completely new project. It is called PointCalculator. It's purpose is to give you a easy way to calculate how many points a food item is for the Weight Watchers program. It is very simple, yet I think very useful. As always if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for improvements, please let me know. You can download it from ozzieburn.com.

A lot of voices This dude rattles off a ton of voices in 4 minutes. Most of them are dead on, even if they are short.

New Projects In case you haven't noticed. I recently posted new versions of most of my projects to ozzieburn.com. I would have done this sooner, but I wanted to wait until I got all these changes implemented to the sites. I still have more updates to the projects, but they might be a little while yet due to finishing up more of the under the hood changes to the sites. I also have an all new little project I am going to be releasing soon. It is pretty much done, just doing a little testing with it first.
