QuickPlace upgrade, hour 39
ByDerekWow, some of these tasks take forever to run. Our server has somewhere around 260 places and 18 gigs of data. It took three hours to run “upgrade -server” and 9.5 hours to run “upgrade -a”. I’m on to “register -install -a” now, but like most of the process I start a task running, leave,…

Charter chatter
ByDerekSo BuffaloGeek and BuffaloPundit have been discussing the county charter and the review meetings that were recently held. I did not attend any of the meetings. I did review the recommendations and generally I agree with them, and frankly didn’t feel I could offer much in the way of informed criticism of them. That and…

Much, much to learn
ByDerek“Blech!” is how I felt about the results of my first photo-taking walk with my new camera last weekend. Figuring the sun and snow would be pretty, I slapped on my polarizing filter, switched the camera off auto mode, and went to it. The results were all horribly underexposed. I guess I need another lesson…

Five favorite concerts
ByDerekMike asked what everyone’s five favorite concert experiences were. It was hard to narrow it down, but here are mine: 5. Jethro Tull/Emerson, Lake, and Palmer – Darien Lake, 8/18/96 – I got tickets at the last minute after convincing my Dad to go with me and we got fifth row seats. Truthfully, I could…

I also encouraged the recipients to stop by the website and say hi, so if that’s why you’re here – leave a comment! Since the photos were small and the descriptions brief,…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
