What generation Mac Pro do you have? seems there are some issues with 2010 models now, you might try to give the PRAM and NVRAM a zap...

One of our testing servers is misbehaving. We ran
uptime and got:
Code: Select all
12:55:17 up 29 days, 21:57, 7 users, load average: 501.55, 500.97, 500.66
Whoa. I don't think I've ever seen those numbers reach double figures before!

Coincidentally, we pushed my commits to the testing box just before it fell over
However, everything I've done works fine on
my machine
and a VM I'm running, both with load numbers in the 0.3 to 0.4 region. I can't even begin to imagine how PHP could get loads up in that range! Surely Apache would crap out way below that sort of loading!

Currently geeking the Ion Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner
I have boxes full of negatives, and I got rid of my old darkroom equipment years ago. This solves the problem very nicely.

Meanwhile, also currently geeking a free, open-source, digital audio workstation for Linux (and also OSX) called
Ardour. Basically an unlimited-track recording thingy with a huge number of free plugins/fx.
Using it in conjunction with
Hydrogen, a free, open-source, drum machine.
Fave thing so far is that it's easy to get Hydrogen to feed a 'song' to Ardour, with each drum automatically assigned to a different track in Ardour, allowing for discrete drum volume/fx control at any stage in the process.

How multiformat is that? Are its speed and quality any good? I'm quite annoyed at what my photographer delivers as scans for the price they ask (panoramic 135 or square 120 apparently is a problem for their machinery which means I often end up with incorrect digital cuts in my shots etc) but it takes centuries to scan a roll on my flatbed, so I don't use that either. A Nikon Coolscan 9000ED seems rather nice but doesn't come close to my budget (and their cheaper models don't do 120 IIRC).

The negative holder that comes with it is only for the standard 135 format (24×36 mm) - it won't do panoramic 135 or square 120.

It's multiformat in that it can scan (135) negatives, slides, and 3 sizes of print. But no, not multiple formats of negatives.
Personally I only wanted it for the 135 negative format, so it's great for me.
