Holy crap, the pollen is starting to get me .
Here was what my car looked like yesterday:
Today there is a light dusting of pollen on it. My nose has been stuffed since 0430 and I finally got a chance to go get some relief. Not a fan of squirting cat pee in my nose but I needed the relief. My alegra pill wasn't enough to curb the allergies.

Amazon Prime, ordered something two days ago and they gave me a free 30 day deal to Prime. That package is arriving today via USPS. And yes, I used the Prime 2 day shipping option. Ordered a package yesterday with Prime and it was shipped UPS and it's already in my hands. Nice.

I'm also running ZoneMinder, but the encoding is killing me. I need to find a different codec to use to cut down on resources. Right now on 4 cores, I'm running 40-50% constantly, adn that is only with 4 cameras, and they are going in and out and freezing up. I know it's not the cameras because I'm looking at them through IE (only way to see them in a browser) through the DVR and they are perfectly fine. So it's definitely a codec issue. But, just now learning about about this software so I have a ways to go.

Ok... while waiting for some parts to be delivered by FedEx... I did a little digging into some ZoneMinder optimization stuff.
See ZoneMinder Wiki - Wiki - Managing Load
Some things of note. This refers to a method ( with a link to a Japanese site ) of switching to jjpeg-mmx codecs that are now about 13 years old and only are made for x86 and not AMD64 CPU's. I suspect that someone else has updated these by now so a little searching is probably needed. They also were only compiled for older versions of Linux, so if nothing else is available, compiling on and for your distro may be required.
It's still useful for some of the other info such as decreasing the fps settings and other tips.

I didn't either, but figured it could be a great learning experience. Cisco's are all over the place, I have not seen many of these. And for the price I paid for it, I can't complain much. 48 port managed switch with POE. Only real downside right now is you can't slow the fans on the PSU's down, so they are quite loud. But this thing idles at 55c with no load on it, but it also has an internal fan that does slow down. Might look into getting a different fan for the PSU's. Still trying to figure out this switch and how to get it all configured. HUGE learning curve.
