Walmart Photo Printing
August 18, 2003

I suddenly feel like a commercial for Walmart, but oh, well. We stopped over there yesterday after I had taken some pictures of Abby. As I have mentioned before, our camera takes high enough resolution pictures to print out clear 8x10 photos. It just so happens that the pcitures that I took of Abby were in that high resolution and in “SuperFine” mode, so they were as clear as they were going to get. Sort of.

Anyway, it turns out that Walmart prints are dirt cheap. The 4x6 prints are 10 cents cheaper than anywhere else I tried. All three pictures I had done cost less than $5 total. They came out fast, too. It only took 15 minutes to print 1-8x10, 1-5x7, and 1-4x6. I’m pretty sure they squirted out of the printer all at about the same time, so it wasn’t like 5 minutes per photo, which would have been awful.

New Server
August 12, 2003

I know I have a lot in the queue to write about the wedding over the weekend, but some other pressing matters have come up regarding this web server.

I've been on the lookout for Windows servers at Rackshack for quite some time.  I need a single Windows server on which to run ASP for my RPG Wire site.  This is inconvenient because of the ludicrous amount I spend on unlimited Linux hosting with Rackshack.  It is really annoying to have to switch between the two hosts.
