Projects that Never Were – Part 4 – Screaming Skull of Death

The Naked Rabbit archives contain many unfinished and never-were projects. Here are some of them in this Museum of Melancholy. Should you be a programmer looking for trouble, I have untold treasures for you – designs and plans for apps so weird no one has made any of them YET. Here is another in that […]

Render Farm Build 37

DISCLAIMER: This is a continuing series detailing the painful story of a DIY render farm build.  It is terribly technics and somewhat frustrating.  Those who are unprepared for such “entertainment” are advised to ignore these posts. It’s still a wonder that the job script module pointed to /drqueue/tmp instead of /Volumes/drqueue/tmp – I may yet […]

Render Farm Build 36

DISCLAIMER: This is a continuing series detailing the painful story of a DIY render farm build.  It is terribly technics and somewhat frustrating.  Those who are unprepared for such “entertainment” are advised to ignore these posts.

Render Farm Build 35

DISCLAIMER: This is a continuing series detailing the painful story of a DIY render farm build.  It is terribly technics and somewhat frustrating.  Those who are unprepared for such “entertainment” are advised to ignore these posts.

Render Farm Build 32

DISCLAIMER: This is a continuing series detailing the painful story of a DIY render farm build.  It is terribly technics and somewhat frustrating.  Those who are unprepared for such “entertainment” are advised to ignore these posts. I still had major connection problems. The master seemed to send the job script okay. The slave would get it, or so […]

At the Doctor

Inspired by a friend’s visit to the doctor to fix his painful toe.  This is what I am sure happened.

DIY Disk Burning Tower

Of course I wisely waited until optical disk technology was waning before building one of these.  But I still have lots of call for burning multiple disks at once, and the drives started to come my way.  Once again, the goal was to spend as little as possible and use old and used parts. The […]

Render Farm Build 31

DISCLAIMER: This is a continuing series detailing the painful story of a DIY render farm build.  It is terribly technics and somewhat frustrating.  Those who are unprepared for such “entertainment” are advised to ignore these posts. I was having even more connection problems. I would restart and Gog wold not be able to see Cyclops on the […]
