Curves, squiggles, and flowing lines interest the eye. Make a photograph dominated by a curvy shape of some sort today.

Non-Paged Pool sign (1/3)

Originally uploaded by marcn.


A little geek humor for the day —

Instead of the usual afternoon coffee break, I walked out behind the office building and took these pictures.

Back in the late 1980s, one of Digital Equipment Corp’s VAX/VMS developers planted this sign.

VMS has two types of kernel memory pools to allocate from — paged which can be swapped out and non-paged which can not move. Clearly this pool is of the latter type. Is there any other kind?

See all three photos here

Any use is strictly prohibited? No printing?! Doesn’t is seem a bit excessive since this is coming from a government employee?

The Alien’s scout ship! (04Jul2004)



The Mothership lands! (04Jul2004)



Some unrelated images I took at the same time (04Jul2004)



Okay, so digital cameras don’t do a good job catching fireworks (04Jul2004)

The best part about fireworks in Merrimack is we can see them from the
neighbor’s driveway and walk 30 seconds and be home. The worst part
is always the bugs…

Here are the lyrics, but they don’t do the song justice.

I've seen things
I've seen them with my eyes
I've seen things
They're often in disguise

Like
