I thought this would be a rather interesting thread: What are you doing right now?
I am currently giving myself a headache trying to recode my site in PHP. Fun.
Trying to setup my own linux server to host my own web forum/s.
Wasting time until it is time to go to bed watching "Music and Lyrics" even though I don't really like Hugh Grant.
working on my etsy shop.
On my way to take a shower and get in bed to watch some TV before going to sleep. I lead such an exciting life. :p
Redesigning my home Theater to use an Anamorphic lens so I can watch Cinemascope (2.35 to 1) without the black bars at top and bottom. I will be building my lens out of Prisms and will redo my screen from a 98"x48" to a 115"x48". When viewing standard HDTV the screen will still be 98x48 but when viewing wide screen movies will be 115X48. The height
will remain constant and the width will change. The way it is now depending on what you are watching the height or width changes. A part of my design will be a masking system
so when the width changes you will not see a black bar on sides.
Also setting up Bike club Notebook Computer with Garman GPS for realtime mapping of Trails.
Your making you own lens?? I want pics if you are!Quote:

The prisms are used to stretch the image to fill the 115" screen. The image is first stretched vertical electronically to eliminate the black lines and then stretched horizontally to fill the wide screen.The pixels that are lost in the black bars are utilized this way so a larger screen ends up being brighter. Normally the larger screen would be dimmer.Quote:

Right now my only hurtle is mounting my prism lens with out it looking rigged. Right not my projected in in another room projecting through a 6"x6" hole in the wall. Since the new lens has to go in front I'm having trouble figuring how to do it without have the lens visible on the wall or how to mount the new lense in the other room without a much bigger hole in the wall. Right now the projector is hidden and I would like to keep everything hidden if possible.
but this is all about cats why are you hereQuote:

I'm sorry but this forum is about pets and other topics of interest. We do
have other interest that we like to share with our PT friends.
I live on the edge of the boonies, besides I shouldnt need much of a transfer rate just starting out, I hope.Quote:

give you the link once I have them up there. I will also put pictures of
my lens once I'm finished.
I just got up, fed and walked the dog and am now reading Pet Talk before I shower and getting ready for work. I love Mondays. :rolleyes:
Checking out some threads here on Pet Talk whilst listening, and now and then watching, MTV Two Vintage. Be taking Bobby on his walk soon.
Right now, I'm listening to music. Then I'm doing what I do all summer, off to Six Flags for the entire day. Going to Hurricane Harbor(water park) with my sister and some friends for the morning, then work at 3:30-10:30 PM. Probably going to be in parade tonight :) It's monotone, yes, but fun. I love work.
Watching paint dry.
Going to bed, then getting up in 6 hours to go vist my best friends (we live in different cities) :D.
If you have any number of visitors or if you have many pictures, you will need a fast upload speed ;).Quote:

Listening to "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000 while answering questions and trying to finish my site at the same time. This isn't working.
Well I just finished the book I was reading so now I am listening to music, and getting ready for the first day of my work experience which is tomorrow.
I actually am ACTUALLY watching the paint dry! LOL! Just painted my kitchen Glass Bottom Boat...sort of a bluey green. I love Martha Stewart! LOL!
Sitting in the laundromat mooching internet even though all my clothes are washed, dried, and folded in my car already. I'm currently looking at Harry Potter related tattoos and wishing I saved my money better so I could get all the tattoos I've been planning now instead of later.
@ Blue:
Unless your upload is a lot better than mine, you are not going to be able to run a fast website (click it to test your internet upload/download speeds):
http://www.speedtest.net/result/516725363.png
Now, you could probably serve plain text easily. Images on a speed like that get a little interesting, though. Really, from home, the only speeds that are worth hosting a website with images on is a SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line) or SHDSL (Single-Pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line) connection. The most common DSL is ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). That is, unless you want to start getting something at the level of a T-1 line or above, but that gets insanely expensive for someone not a business.
Best option: Get a hosting account from a hosting company (Media Temple, Slicehost, and Linode are my favourites) and let them deal with all of what I said above.
Reggie I tested at 5.98 mb/s download .98 mb/s upload .50 ms latancy
I don't have a home server though. I am about 150 miles from Atlanta
which is the closest test point. I am on AT&T Uverse ADSL
One of my tech friends has a 10 megabit/s upload and download speed. I envy him.Quote:

Besides PT'ing ... I am worrying. Actually, I'm PT'ing because I am trying not to worry. I am working a temp-to-hire position, my manager made some murmurings about wanting to make me an offer -- then she went on vacation for a week -- this is her 2nd week back and I have not heard from her since she has returned from vacation. So I'm worrying about what happens if I don't get the offer.
On PT answering this thread and watching the news.

If i wanted to pay the price, I'm close enough to the Fiber hub I can get 18 mb/s download and 6 mb/s upload. My ADSL Modem is set at 25 mb/s for Uverse TV that I will be adding in the future. I find my 6 mb/s good enough to stream video very well. I use my bandwidth for movie watching more than anything.Quote:

I'm watching the clock! Waiting to go home to see my fur family. Best part of the day...Casey wagging her tail and happily barking, Buddy purring, meowing and head bumping me. They are always at the front window when I come down my driveway and by the time I get my car parked they are at the sliding door. :love: :) :love:
Watching Family Guy.
Talking to some friends, listening to good music. I had a great day off today, hung out at hurricane harbor(again) and enjoyed the sun. Work again tomorrow, night shift - I can't wait!
Entering minute 28 out of 30 on the elliptical!
Spent the last day and a half figuring out why my Ethernet card suddenly decided to become bipolar after I switched a CD drive. I still haven't figured it out yet.
