I know, you’ve all been waiting breathlessly for the new photo gallery, and it’s finally available.

Checkout the pictures of last year’s Colorado Blizzard and my trip to San Diego in 2006.

Now that I have this figured out, look for more pictures in the near future.

I have needed to get a screen shot out of a video image. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as just doing a screen print. The image I’m trying to capture doesn’t come across correctly.

Fortunately I found an easy solution

• Open Window Media Player
• Then go to Tools | Options
• In Options, select the Performance Tab
• Way below you click on the Advanced Button
• Uncheck “Use Overlays’
• Click Ok

One of the very cool things about Vim is the ease of editing multiple files. I like to use this capability when working on a website project and need to update lots of html files with something common, like a new link. Sure, sometimes there are other methods of doing this, like a simple command line search and replace perl script . Sometimes though, the regular expression is just too much of a pain to write, and it’s just easier, and faster, to edit all of the files.

The difficulty is, without menus, it can be tough to remember the syntax to move between files. In case you, like me, can’t remember how to edit multiple files, here is a little tutorial.

1. Open multiple files with vim vim *.html
2. Edit the first file
3. Type :bn to move to the next file in the buffer
4. Repeat

Just updated my Linux install of Thunderbird to version 2.0.0.12. Somehow, when I upgraded, Thunderbird stopped opening links in Firefox.

So, I did a search, and came up with this great post on opening links from Thunderbird in Firefox. I actually used the path to Opera, since I prefer it to Firefox (at least most of the time), and it seems to work correctly.
