Photo series on hutong demolition finished
7 May 2008 | Photography | No Responses
We went out the last week of April to a chain of old neighborhoods east of Qianmen that are scheduled for demolition. Some of the homes are just common homes; some of them were the residence of relatives of Qing Dynasty nobles; all of them are coming down.
It took several days to pick through the 4GB of shots, clean them up and get them up on deviantART, but I finished the effort on Monday. I am pretty happy with the series, an it is the first time I have primarily photographed city life, and also the first time I have done so much free-hand work with my new Nikon.
Thumbnails of the series follow the jump. For full resolution photos, check the gallery on deviantART or click the link in the preview frame.
Patched module for Hardy kernel 2.6.24-17
7 May 2008 | Ubuntu | No Responses
I have compiled and released a patch acpi-cpufreq.ko module for Hardy Heron kernel 2.6.24-17, which is currently in the repository for proposed updates. You still need to install any Linux-PHC initialization scripts, but this will help any fresh Gutsy to Hardy upgraders or Hardy installers who accidentally grabbed the proposed kernel and found their PHC dead.
You can grab the patched module from this Ubuntu Forums post. The same thread also has a module for kernel 2.6.24-16.
