Relay is an AJAX based file-manager. It looks very pretty, however I’d be curious on how it taxes my little co-located server. If its not slow it might be a nice option for when I am on a strange computer.

Life on the lot
As expected parking in lots sucks everywhere and Yahoo!’s offices are no exception.
I frequent public daily parking lots to my travels to and from NYC and the offenses commited in the pictures detailed on that Flickr account are amusing yet frustrating to me. A couple months ago someone did some nice damage to my passenger side door. I have not fixed it yet but the cost is going to run around $600. I should make car length foam dividers that extend out from under the body to protect the finish from the careless, cellphone talking, reckless door swinging commuter.
MacBook!
I bought a white MacBook this week. Its the 2Ghz, 512Mb RAM, 60 Gig HD model. So far so good with this machine. Honestly, I was pretty concerned with going for this model because of its “glossy” screen. However, so far so good with the screen. Glare has not been an issue with the locations I have used it so far.
The secondary concern I had was the built-in webcam(oh so creepy). I found translucent sign here sticker. With a little trimming it covers the Mic and iSight perfectly. I was not expecting to completely cut off the microphone’s reception however it seems that it does not hear any thing now(except when I tap on the laptop case). Sweet.
CLI Utility to Grab Images from iSight
I just bought a MacBook(white 2.0Ghz model) and all I wanted was a simple webcam system. Grab the image, upload it via FTP/SCP to a server, wait a few seconds/minutes, repeat. Also, I did not want to pay…
After some googling I found this.
