NWI INGO General Post - Part 4

[Clif45]

so eh, I could probably make some cupcakes, I have funbags, and my birthday is in July. What does that get me?

 

[t_star]

thinking you should prolly make a batch and drop them off at his office (stupid stuff we do, never hurts to have a guy like him on our side)

I don't have the fancy-pants mixer anymore. Somebody wanted it back so he could make tamales. And then we didn't even get tamales!

Hmmm...hopefully, if I ever decide to put pants on and go grocery shopping, one doesn't end up coming home with me. Those suckers are heavy!

If you went without pants I bet someone would offer to carry it out to your car for you, then all you would need is for Kevin to take it in the house.....

They were good, but not great. When I get great at it I'll share.

I'm fairly certain that if you were standing in your barn, you could hit it. Me? Not so much.

Ok geeks. How hard is it to wipe a hard drive and install linux? I have an old laptop with vista on it. I want to dump vista and try linux.

Back home. Was going to run to Tractor Supply and the hardware store. Wife said she wanted to come too. So I waited 45 minutes for her to get ready, then went out and spent 4 hours 'shopping' with her for a total of 4 hours 45 minutes. I could have done the same in less than 2 hours. Oh, but I did get to buy her an over priced lunch at Boston's on US30/41.

Went by your house last night around 5:30 and saw a great show the wife, grandson and I enjoyed very much. My wife liked the blue and white snowflakes on the front of the house along with the falling snowballs on the tree. When we got home she called both daughters and told them to go by your house to see the light and music display. Wizards in Winter music and lights was her favorite.

Glad you dropped by. Wizards in Winter is everyone's favorite. But it took days to program.
When I get done with Christmas Eve in Sarajevo, I think it will be another hit.
The snowflakes are a new addition this year.

Next year, I have BIG plans.

Ok. You lost me.
The pants?
The tamales?
Or the funbags/sweaterpuppies??

As I wrote in my PM we loved it too.

Is Christmas Eve in Sarajevo the 4th song you are working on? Will that be done this year because we'd like to try to get back there if you add it to the mix.

On a technical note, how many circuits are you running and what type of software/hardware do you use to put on the show. Its awesome!

 

[gunbunnies]

OK so the range trip to Blythes in Valpo was a uneventful trip and a waste of time and gas.... but no ammo got used... These new shooters are cramping my style....

Thought about just shooting a couple rounds off in the corn fields on the way home but atlast I was still in Porter Country and didn't want that type of a problem...

Looks like after work I'm heading to a private range in Wheatfield tomorrow... Can't believe there were soooo many people waiting to use that indoor range today...

Yes, Christmas Eve in Sarajevo is the 4th song.
Christmas Eve to Christmas Day midnight I put the 3rd song out, Dance of the Sugar Plum Faries from Nutcracker.
I hope to have Christmas Eve done before I pack things up. It should compare to Wizards in Winter with the speed and intensity.

I have 32 outputs I can control. Two controllers. 16 outputs per controller.
The hardware/software is from Light-O-Rama. If you want to check the stuff out, come on by sometime. I finish working mids Sunday morning. Off till Wednesday. Or some other time. Always like to show off my work.

If you go to YouTube, you can see my lights over a few years by searching for "Merrillville Christmas Lights" You'll see Acteon, or "my Christmas lights 2009" etc.
I only added music in 2011. Before that, I just had animations. They are very easy to set up once I figured the software out. Then I graduated to the music.

Ok geeks. How hard is it to wipe a hard drive and install linux? I have an old laptop with vista on it. I want to dump vista and try linux.

If you have a CD/DVD tray in that laptop then give KNOPPIX a try before you do a full blown linux install.

KNOPPIX - Live Linux Filesystem On CD

KNOPPIX is a flavor of linux that runs off the CD/DVD. So when you restart your pc you tell it to boot from the cd/dvd tray as oppose to the hard drive and it runs KNOPPIX so you can see if you like linux and what it has to offer.

If you do and don't run into any issue then go with Ubuntu since it's the easiest for PC window users and n00bs.

The Best Linux Distros
