MEN'S TENNIS + TYVEK

2008-01-30T15:17:00.002-05:00

Friday night, I just landed at JFK from SFO at 10pm and I gotta get to cake shop.. Not too much time before my friends' Men's Tennis play the first show in years, possibly decades.. So I jump in the taxi and call Nadia to tell her to bring my camera..

Fun show, and Tyvek is playing after them.. They're in from detroit.. If you haven't seen them, you really should..

Men's Tennis (click the photos for more):

Tyvek (click the photos for more):

Oh.. these are actually from the show on saturday at charleston in williamsburg..

Oh the ORB - ProxySelector and getting RMI-IIOP to use it.

2008-01-18T11:41:00.000-05:00

I wanted to kill myself.. I really did.. Mohammad and I had spent a month trying to get our EJB client to use a socks proxy in Java 5. Ok, not a full month, but off and on.. And for a good part of that time we were trying to forget about RMI-IIOP altogether and just use an Axis2 client instead. That sucked too.

What's with all these things not wanting to use proxies? We tried socksProxyHost, http.proxyHost and all the related properties. We went all 2005 and tried a ProxySelector in Java 5.

But nothing.. It was like RMI-IIOP just ignored all the standard ways to go through a socks proxy.

WTF.

I am not going to bore you with all the things that didn't work, because there are always things that don't work.

What finally did work was telling ORB to use a Socket. Apparently, it doesn't.

Regardless.. do this and be happy:

System.setProperty("com.sun.CORBA.transport.ORBConnectionSocketType", "Socket");

Here's where I found it.

Oh, just so maybe google picks this up and indexes it, here's our initial context factory: com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory. Yeah.. the standard one that comes with the JVM..

TumbleTunes again

2008-01-03T21:51:00.000-05:00

New version of TumbleTunes...

I added the ability to pause posting... So no one knows that you are listening to Justin Timberlake over and over and over.. I mean, I do it.. But some people just don't understand..

Also added a feature to randomly post.. Because sometimes every song is just too much information.. You can now set it to Always, Sometimes or Rarely..

And album changes are pretty boring if you ask me.. I might remove that feature.. Is that stupid?

Oh, let me know if you use it, I wanna subscribe to your tumblr so I can get ideas for new music.. Ok fine, I just wanna know if anybody is downloading it..

i love you 2008, i'm sick of you 2007..

2008-01-02T14:28:00.000-05:00

Milton, thank you for having us over.

TumbleTunes

2008-01-01T23:55:00.000-05:00

I wrote this little cocoa application over the xmas break..

I just wanted to do a cocoa application.. It is a trivial application to be sure but I kinda like it.. Nadia has given me some awesome feedback and I will be incorporating some subtle changes in the next version..

Oh.. What does it do? Ummm.. It basically pays attention to what you are listening to on iTunes and then it posts it to your tumblr. You can limit it to only post about album changes if it gets to verbose with the song by song verbosity..

Download it...

The tumblr i used for testing.. I think i might continue to post these things here so it doesn't pollute my normal tumblr.. but maybe not.. who knows..

UPDATE: The build on the site doesn't work.. I will fix soon...

ANOTHER UPDATE: I put a new build up that should work for Tiger. It seems crappy on Leopard..

TURKEY CHINA CAKE

2007-11-29T23:07:00.000-05:00

Ayo, I'm sick of using technology...

Last holiday with the sister for a while.. They are in china at the time of this post, but we were lucky enough to have some time to catch up among other things over thanksgiving..

Wild they are so far away for so long. I'm just happy some people are capable of deciding to do something and then making it happen regardless of the hurdles that come up..

So yeah.. anyway.. check out all the photos of turkey time and the many birthdays that were celebrated this past week regardless of when they actually occurred..

Taking it back to new....

2007-11-28T23:45:00.000-05:00

Nadia and I went back. Here is some evidence.

First stop, Pozos to see how Susan was doing. She's doing fine. We had some drinks and eggs and then went on a tour of all the new developments. It is one thing living in NYC and accepting that you can't afford property. It is a completely different thing to realize you can't afford anything in what is essentially a Mexican ghost-town.

We left Pozos for Xilitla, with Jalpan as a resting point in between. It turns out that some bad fruit was going to force us to stay in Jalpan and extra night. Thank god for the Farmicia.

Read about Edward James and just google his creation Las Pozas, which is the main draw of Xilitla...

Clear Tigers EP!

2007-09-18T10:55:00.001-05:00

WHEE! ok, after many many nights of all out battle royale with adobe illustrator by my spouse (Tip: don't use CS2 on intel macs.. it makes life sad.. unexpected crashes, just plain slow, general insecurity of not having the latest and greatest version... ummmm..... so we are working on getting cs3, and I am getting way off topic here..) Catbird Records released the Clear Tigers EP yesterday!

You should get it before it sells out.. It will too.. Like for real.. its a limited edition of 200, and the sleeve is hand screened so it will be one of a kind.. oh man.. can you even stand it? I can't.

Also, we just went to Montauk this past weekend to photograph the LP cover.. Things are looking pretty good with that, and I'm learning more about photoshop, which is good.. Why didn't anyone really point out the clone tool to me before.. I never really thought about using it before, since most of my photo manipulations are just color, contrast, saturation, etc.. I was never into actually modifying the actual photo, like composition wise.. That's idealistic bullshit tho.. So now I will add remove stretch clone whatever and wherever..

Gross violations of Beach/Dog laws

2007-08-29T10:54:00.000-05:00

Ok, so Kaschi Duds was doing a photo shoot at Coney Island. They got a new line coming out, and who better to model than little man tate. By little man tate, I obviously mean Gordy Lachance. Anyway, Gordy, Emmy, and Lucky set out for Coney Island in the wee hours of the morning, before Nathan's was even selling hot dogs, and parking was still available on Surf Avenue..

It was all fun and games until "Mean Mr. Driving a pickup on the beach is fine but having a 18 pound dog on the sand is so totally not fine even tho the beach is empty and no one cares because it's Coney Island anyway" pulled up and threatened to call the fuzz. It didn't help that said dog was off leash and we did not have a permit for a photo shoot.

So, I dunno. Maybe we were wrong. I like chili dogs tho! That much is clear.

i meant to post this a long time ago, but the sartorialist rejected my comment on his blog for some reason.. lame.. all i did was link to my photo blog cos i took a photo of him taking a photo of someone. big whoop. anyway.. Here is his post.. and here is my photo .. too funny.. mine wasn't that good actually.. and I'm not sure why i was shooting black and white.. but whatever.. i did, and its done..

apologies

2007-08-05T20:01:00.000-05:00

Ok, so as you know, Nadia and I have a dog now. It has been exhaustively documented on my many different blogs. I apologize that almost all of the photos relate to this little creature.

Actually, strike that, he's cuter than all of you and all of my friends, so he gets to be the target of my silly little camera. I mean, for pete's sake. He was literally begging and barking at Nadia for her to let him jump in the shower with her (see the last couple photos in this gallery).. Who else would do this? I think he knows that this will get him top MFing billing on this little blogspot. He's not stupid and go to hell if that's what you are thinking.. Do something witty, or at least something embarassing, then you can be a more featured persona of this little blog.

I know.. so over saturated.. whatever.. I'm playing with adobe lightroom.. Its fun, and a little to easy to go overboard with the color correction.. I got I cos i liked Carl Rytterfalk's galleries, and he was using it... And i also wanted something simple to use to expose the photos.. I like it so far.. we'll see if i stick with it.. Aperture was kind of a bumout, but this seems a little more solid so far.. You should definitely check out Carl's blog. He uses a Sigma SD14, which I was considering, but then opted against because my wife shoots nikon, so i figured this way we could share lenses. Regardless, he gets some great shots with his sigmas and I have mad envy. Maybe I'll get the DP1 if it EVER COMES OUT!

kisses to Glenna, Manny and the most beautiful child I've ever seen.

So catbirdseat blogged about Clear Tigers which is good for us.. He has a great blog and also has a cool record label which has some great stuff on it in really cool limited run packaging.. Hand screened style, or manually bound books.. Love it.. I wanted to buy the Tap Tap album, but it was sold out of the limited edition awesome one.. So I decided to get the UK import from Stolen Recordings. So now I have to wait.

2007-07-09T15:18:00.000-05:00

I meant to post these a while ago, so I will back date this post. We went to visit Adrian. Finally. What a great time. He's has such a cute spot out in Connecticut and Gordy just about freaked out. Open space to run and a camera shy bitch to chase. What a dream!

Seriously, Adrian's nephew had a dog, Daphne, which we all just thought hated me. Fair enough. This happens. No one knows why, but it just does. Nadia would play with Daphne, she would love it, they would kiss each other. Gordy could jump all over her.. NO PROBLEM.. Jeremy gets near her and watch out! Full bark and attack pose. Glory be to Daphne. Ok, fine, so on the last day Daphne was being nice to me, and I was like, "Oh, great! She's finally gotten used to me, or my beard or whatever was pissing her off." (Not sure who I said that to, but I shall quote nonetheless).. Then I get out the old camera to document this fine moment, and see FREAKS OUT! I guess she didn't like the mirror slapping around. Perhaps it was from the clicker they used to use to train her.
