I’ve been making a lot of minor updates to the DFL website. I finally got around to making the site look decent in Internet Explorer. I really should have done it earlier. The only major rendering differences between the Safari/Opera/Firefox camp and IE is the location of the main page block: IE positioned against the …

Amira 3.1 and Movie Maker issues
Many thanks to Don Duncan at Mercury Computer Systems for his help getting the Movie Maker functionality back up and running on my system.

Part of the console error displays: /path/to/amira/arch-Linux-Optimize/libmpegenc.so symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Bad …

Digital Fish Library Press Release
Today is the big day – our press release is now out, and even featured on the SIO (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) website. In just under an hour we’ll begin scanning a juvenile great white shark as part of the press “event.” If you haven’t read my other posts on the DFL, here’s a brief …
Mac Trojan: Leap-A (OSX/Oomp-A)
There’s some news last night about the first Mac OS X “virus” in the wild. First of all, it’s NOT a virus. It’s a Trojan horse, which requires the user to execute the program him/herself. It’s low-risk and probably won’t spread beyond the few people who’ve already been infected. Good news is that it appears …
Press Release
Keep an eye out in two weeks for a press release of the DFL. In two weeks we should have a pretty good beta up and running… sort of? It’ll depend on my other responsibilities at work. The beta is up and running right now: DFL. Things left to do for this revision: Tie-together a …
Siggraph2006
Well, as my situation at work would have it, German (coworker), Larry, and I are working on a paper to submit to Siggraph for our work on the DFL. The deadline is Friday. In the event our paper isn’t accepted, we’re going to look at doing a poster or talk. Wish us luck!

New DFL site coming
Feb 2 is the tentative due date for the DFL rewrite. Actually it’s the first phase of the upgrade, which will bring it up to speed with the current site in many ways. Additional functionality will be added every few weeks after that. One of the biggest new features in this update will be the …
DFL update
My boss wants a nice looking front-end to the new DFL site, even if all the links are broken, so expect something next week. As it currently stands the new design is going to borrow heavily from the current one, though it should use space a little bit better and display information a bit more …
