Happy Feet Grunt

Animal Logic is the outfit that did the animation grunt work for the Happy Feet movie.

Who are they? Well they show up on top500.org.

Sounds like an interesting outfit.

Bedding a new system

I was in Melbourne last week.

I can across an new system that was being bedded in.

At the new Southern Cross station, in the Bus interchange area, they have some new lockers. They are from a Chinese maker.

They have had an engineer from the maker on site, hacking Linux based code. He been on-site from several weeks, installing and hacking daily builds from home!

They got big problems with touch screen sensitivity. It's that bad they got a minder on hand to help traveller!

They touch keypad is none standard too.

The '0' key is right of the '6', instead of being below the '8' key!

1	2	3
4	5	6	0
7	8	9
	0

Now pick up your mobile phone and check its keypad.
