So at work I get to exercise my photographic skills. Only problems is sometimes lack of equipment. Now, I know what you are thinking--"Never let lack of equipment be the reason for solving problems..." Well when your clients/boss wants "Avendon-like" studio white backgrounds, you have to do something about it. And quick!

So pictured above is my "shooting table". I saw one on B&H for just under $350. I made mine for less than $20. Plexi included. Thanks to HJ Plastics on Carneige Ave. Got it for $8. Man I love saving cash, and bet part is that I can always update this thing. I am thinking of adding a bar for seamless rolls. Though I wish I would have rolled the front of the table, for lower camera angles.

One more thing. My stomach and throat is blazing hot. Lately I have been cutting down on the hot mango pickle, and other firey treats. I just love the hot foods, but I think I am developing "acid relflex", since I took a bunch of Tums lately and they do nothing. So I am taking Nexium. It totally worked today! but now I am a slave to the purple pill. :(

One more final thing. My mother is on the net these days. So say hello to her in the comments. She is reading them. HI MOM!

Still, trying to get Virtual hosting on the laptop to really work. I had 2 sites working, but for some reason Apache sets up line priorities in the the HTTPD conf file. When I add a site to the VHost container, it just recognizes to the first site in the list for all the domains that add. It does not read the others that follow.

Example : If I type in "http://danmerk" in browser, it recognizes the first Vhost in the list. If I type in "http://jnpb" it hits the JNPB folder on my webserver. I added one more site, and whatever I define as the servername, it points to JNPB's folder. This kinda sucks since I want to host like 5 or so sites on the TI. Here is the thread I started months ago.

Virtual Hosting on OS X

Sorry for those of you that came here to read about Sven's birthday party. I was great. Drank tons of beer. OK, no I didn't cuz I was broke, and not in the mood to drink on Friday.

I quit Chewing tobacco last night. I am going to see how things go. I have some help from a great company out west called : Oregon Mint Co.

Perhaps I will be making more progress in my music and web presence since I am trying to overcome the gitters.
