I experimented with the D80’s flash command functionality and got some cool results. I am planning on using this more in upcoming shoots.

I’ve been trying to capture my cat jumping like this for a while now. She’s been either out of frame or out of focus in previous attempts. Persistence pays off sometimes! More pictures are below!

I shot last night at IO West in Hollywood. The show was great. This is my first low light shoot with my new camera. All in all, the shots turned out better than my old camera. The D80 and 50mm 1.4 is a good combo. I am looking forward to shooting with the 24-70 2.8!

So I made it to Texas in one piece. DFW is a huge airport. It took about 10 minutes via bus to get from the terminal to the rental car area. The hotel said there are over 25 restaurants within walking distance. Tonight I had blackened chicken pasta from a cajun style place. The pasta was great.
So there is nothign to do in Fort Worth Sunday night. The rooms have two 32″ HDTV’s that actually display HD. I’ve been in other hotels with HDTV’s that only display standard def. This is much better. I should have packed my PS3 to keep me company.
Hopefully the city will come to life during the week.

Seconds after I walked away from my computer for a break, I heard glass crashing in my office. It turns out that the lamp on my ceiling was not secured tightly enough, and finally gave out. This is right next to my chair.
My cat and I are lucky our heads are still intact…

The install is running, and I can’t wait to get this setup. With multiple snapshots, recreating environments for troubleshooting or proof of concepts will be a breeze!

I downloaded the latest beta of Fusion 2.0 so I could create virtual machines running OS X 10.5 Server. I created a DMG of the OS X Server DVD for easy installs, but Fusion didn’t recognize a DMG as an option to have in the CD/DVD drive on my VM. To convert an Apple DMG file to ISO, use this command:
hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso
This will create the file savefile.iso.cdr When the process is complete, simply remove the .cdr extension and you have an iso file.
I just tested this with VMWare 2.0, and the ISO didn’t work with the OS X Server install. The only way I got it to work is to use the DVDs that shipped with the Intel Xserve. As I type this, “Mac OS X Server 10.5 64-bit (experimental)” is loading!
