EdgeCentric

Good data, of course!

Recently we’ve finished work on a what is known as a PHP Mashup that brings the best of the web together to help you build your Call Sheet.  The main components we bring are some location information, the weather, the local hospitals, the local hardware stores, restaurants and daylight information.

Build your Call Sheet with useful local resources such as Hospitals, Hardware Stores, Local Restaurants and other points of interest, as well as getting the current Weather Forecast and Sun Rise/Set information.

So head on over to http://www.sheetcaller.com to start building your first call sheet.

For a few months now, EdgeCentric has been proud to sponsor and host the Southern California Brevis User Group with an eye toward fostering a local community of fellow fans of our favorite 35mm lens adapter.

Today's meeting focused (pun intended) on lens collimation starting with member Anthony Vu's brand new rig.

The past few weeks have been busy for us, we just wrapped up the shooting for the first episode of NBC's Knight Rider. We are helping the team at Master Key fill up a whole lotta green. We've shot background plates for KITT's driving sequences and are working on a workkflow solutiion to streamline the plate creation process for future episodes. The show premiers September 24 at 8pm. Check it out!

Kinda Sucks not having a damn right-click on the Mac.  I know there is a way around it, but I found this cool app – though simple – makes it easier for 'me'.

We bought a Server from Dell with a 12GB Partition for the OS.  Pretty simple – all it does is serve the domain and serve one directory.  Not too horrible right?  So we decided to load Symantec Endpoint Security.  BIG MISTAKE!  The damn app eats the primary partition than I can go through a box of Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwhiches!  And, that's pretty quick.

So, I guess most of you will be like, "why are you installing apps on the PDC?".  Well, in such a small environment it seemed like an ok idea at 2AM.  I've learned my lesson once again why a PDC is only to be a PDC and to leave it the hell alone once it is running….

Well, in order to save anyone else some frustration – if you *MUST* use Endpoint Security – install the manager on an out of the way workstation with plenty of disk space. 

Note:  According to the guys at Symantec, there is a patch that is supposed to fix the issue but only you know who knows if it is going to work. You'll be able to find the patch at fileconnect.  Apparently MR1 doesn't really fix the issue.

You will find Cypress Semiconductor multi-transaction translators in this USBGear USB 2.0 hub architecture product.

Also, an article which though old, probably still holds true for a number of reasons!
