If you’re into Urban Exploration I’ve been checking out a couple of good sites

Fallout-UE -This site probably has some of the most artistic photos I’ve seen yet. The Metro hospital and The Pines Hotel pictures are both work checking out. ( I really would have liked to have gone into the E before they gutted those two side buildings…or taken pictures back in `02 when the other side was demolished to make the gazebo.

Infiltration - An ezine filled with new reported locations, ethics of exploring and other resources for the interested to stay involved

Opacity - more locations

I was looking for known sites in Western KY and I did find something kinda cool. Two abandoned airports nearby that seem worth checking out. Who wants to come with?

Also, looking through some of these pictures has piqued my interest in digital photography. I’ve been doing some research on decent “starter” cameras…and I’m kind of looking forward to looking like an idiot and taking 50 million pictures of the exact same thing until I get the sense of what looks good =P

Geek Stuff.

I realized the other night I’d let my servers get a little dated…with the production release of FreeBSD 7.0 out I figured there was bound to be some security fixes which meant it’d be a good time to catch up. Before long, I realized it was nearing 8am and my first class (and that essay absolutely destroyed me, the rest of the test wasn’t bad though)

Getting done early, I decided to get on a computer and see how everything was going. Trying to SSH got me a timeout. Okay, maybe just sshd needs to be restarted locally.. Hm, can’t go to my web site? Try logging into my backup box.. uh-oh. Either there’s an outage in my area (unlikely) or something with portupgrade broke my router! ;)

As soon as I got home I saw my modem ready light was flashing…Turns out it was an outage and happened RIGHT in the middle of a php upgrade. make install clean ftw…

An underwater Asian Atlantis? Sounds kind of cool.. I wouldn’t mind exploring shipwrecks. I’ve been reading about some Ghost Towns that I wouldn’t mind visiting. It’s not quite urban exploration but it still sounds fun

haha. Speaking of UE
