Dont Need No Stinkin Safety Lines
After watching the video below I was sweating and feeling just a little light headed. I've heard that these guys make serious money. God I hope so, but I can tell you that there is no amount of cash that could get me up on the top of one of these towers.

More About the Princess
Since in the last post I gave out a peek of the princess ruling from on high. I thought I would add a few more choice picks from her portfolio.
Of course there is this one from on the throne.
Right after that shot I got a look at what royal disdain looks like.
This one comes from one of the royal hunting trips.

Image Popup Test
Trying out some new stuff for the blog. Image popup script from Dynamic Drive.
First the old regular thumbnailed images.
Now this should create links that will cause the images to be displayed in a popup image box.

Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4
Well this is what happens when you go for a long time between blog posts. You set up a really cool simple automated system to get your posts from the text editor to the blog then you go a few months without using it and bam your left sitting there, scratching your head and wondering just how the hell you go about getting this thing work again. You remember it being really cool and simple but it doesn't seem that way now. Crap I knew I should added more comments to that perl code.
After much probing around and wondering if I decided to go ahead and use markdown on all the posts or just leave that as optional I think that I have this down again. I think we'll see when this actually posts.
So this is as much a test post as it is a blog update. Sheesh, this was really easy back in February what the hell happened?
So after using Ubuntu 9.10 for a short while I have upgraded again. Ubuntu 10.4 is running now and this version seems to be just as pleasant as the last. There is always the problem of getting all of my scripts transfered and working again such as what I use for this blog, but it really hasn't been that much of a pain.
I've spent some time getting it to look like I want it to and tinkering with conky to get the info that I want to have on my desktop but that wasn't really complicated. All in all I'm pleased so far.
And here is a random pic of a hawk on a post. Took this awhile back from the back door.

Mencoder Movie Clips
Another in the collection of things that I don't do often enough to remember how to do them exactly. Using mencoder to pull a clip out of another file from certain time index, -ss, and of the specified length, -endpos.
mencoder -ss 1000 -endpos 100 file.mpg -oac copy -ovc copy -o file-clip.mpg
