Mary and I caught a showing of Big Trouble this afternoon. It was pretty entertaining at times, but unfortunately as is the trend these days, most of the really funny scenes had already been revealed in the previews and advertisements. I think I would have enjoyed the movie even more had I not been familiar with those scenes.

Horatio
The Horatio system is a firewall authentication tool. The premise: Legitimate users want to attach laptops and other mobile hosts to the network, but security demands that illegitimate users be prevented from accessing the internal, secure network and from abusing the general Internet. The approach taken by Horatio is to provide a separate, untrusted, network that only connects to the internal network (and thus to the Internet) through a firewall that by default does not pass any traffic.
I wonder if Horatio could work behind a wireless access point or if it would just be kind of redundant?

I managed to be fairly productive yesterday afternoon and finally cleaned of the top of my desk. It's not perfect, but now I actually have room to put my external drives (CDRW, HD) somewhere.
Next task: Cleanup, organize, and then backup my laptop's hard drive. It's getting pretty cluttered and I want to clear up some space to start doing some iMovie video capture.
I've actually had problems capturing MiniDV video clips directly to my external Firewire drive, but I'm not sure whether I'm dealing with a MacOS X issue, a Firewire2go/Cardbus issue, or a 5400 rpm drive speed issue. I hate rebooting into MacOS 9 these days, but with the Quicktime video issues that a Lombard PowerBook has to deal under MacOS X that's probably the way to go.
Another video editing possibility that I've considered is upgrading my old revision A iMac. I can add a Sonnett HARMONi 500Mhz processor card (with a FireWire port!) for around $300 and that way I could have a dedicated video editing machine.
