My folks are watching my two nieces this weekend and we decided to all go to the Fort Worth Zoo since it was so gorgeous out. Ethan and the girls had a great time, really glad we went. Check out the slideshow or hit Read More below to view it as a gallery.

Lost Photos

Post by Unknown |

Sometimes, with a large photo gallery, you get so wrapped up in managing and maintaining it that you forget to stop and actually look at your photos. This shot randomly caught my eye earlier and it just says so much about future possibilities. It was taken during the kid's first trip to our brand new house, before we had even moved in.

Newnessish!

Post by Unknown |

You may have noticed this blog has a new URL. My photo gallery is going to take over the jeroddunn.com address and my blog will now be a sub domain accessible from a link on that page.

Will I update more frequently? Who knows, but at least this way it's harder to when I'm being lazy!

Dinosaur Valley State Park

Post by Unknown |

Visited the Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, TX with the family this weekend. Had a great time and snapped some photos. This one I'm particularly happy with, compiled out of several photos using Microsoft ICE. Check out the entire gallery after the break.

An image I made using several images of dinosaur footprints in the river.

Steam Double Duty

Post by Unknown |

While downloading Shogun 2 on my desktop and installing some Torchlight mods on my laptop today I found a neat trick. It has to do with downloading a game via Steam on one computer and playing a game (or downloading, chatting with friends, etc) on a second computer via Steam using the same account. It can be done with minimal hassle which I will detail below the break.


1. On the computer, "first" computer, you plan to just download (not play) games on go ahead and start downloading whatever games you want and leave it running (to the download screen if you want to monitor). Be sure to start all downloads at once because in order to add new games to the download queue you will have to restart this entire process.

2. Start Steam on your other, "second" computer.

3. Even if you have Steam set to auto log-in It will ask you to enter your password because you are already logged in elsewhere. Do it and Steam should start normally.

4.Now observe on the first computer that the "You've been logged out" prompt asking you to log back in appears, however your games continue to download in the background. Don't hit "cancel" or Steam exits and don't log back in or it will log you out on the second computer. If you left the first computer on the download monitor screen you can review their progress as you normally would, but you can't otherwise interact with Steam.

5. Enjoy playing a game on your second computer while downloading on your first!



I haven't verified that this works on Mac, but I imagine it will behave similarly.
