Frederick’s Timelog

A spectacular opening ceremony

The normal episode for Frederick Time will either come out tomorrow or not at all this week.

I watched the spectacular opening ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing this morning. It was simply amazing.

Exceptional fireworks, amazingly coordinated dancers and artists (thousands of them!), excellent majestic music, and fabulous high-tech shows. Amazing!

Since I’ve categorized this under “Graphic Matters”, I might as well show you some pictures.

Non-secure network

Novell NetWare Administrator has been shared (as in network shares) and can be executed by any user, and it can access the central server for the 1800+ student accounts and the 230+ staff accounts. The following screenshots show things that any logged-on user can access. (Clearly, I’ve taken out a few things for anonymity and to prevent others from abusing this ability. I plan on reporting this to a Site Admin.)

More after the jump.

Debbie Travis autograph

On April 6, 2008 (that’s today), I met Debbie Travis in person. Dozens of people were there to see her designs in three show homes. She unveiled those three show homes at Inspiration yesterday, as part of her partnership with Tribute Communities.

I got an autograph, and here is a scaled-down scan of the card. You can click on it to go to Flickr, where you can find a variety of sizes.

Richmond Hill High School

This was a photo that I took of Richmond Hill High School on March 15, 2008. It was originally meant for my international exchange application, but when I realized how nice it was after getting it (and 94 other photos) developed at Costco, I decided to share it.

The same photo has also been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, with the filename “Richmond Hill High School.jpg”. I’ve also edited the Wikipedia page for the school to add this picture.
