Geeking it over here at HamsterTracker™ is 99% of the time a very enjoyable time.
That's when things don't go all heywire beyound our control:

This weekend I experienced ~~some~~ many seemingly spontanious server crashes.
I wasn't gaming or doing anything Video-Intensive stuff,
just some programming, when it crashed again...

(Un)fortunately the system didn't reboot again...
After initialization (which seemed to take forever),
the system responded with a Three Beep Error salute ...

Which is NOT a GOOD sign ...
because: it then FROZE ! No life in it what so ever ...

Then I heard a loud distinct 'CLUNCK'-noise ...
The computer was already switched off...
So I opened it ... The heat comming from it was noticed immediately.
Then I found a square piece of something:

Geeking It ... Can be Dangerous!

" Note the Ferrite (?) square ... that dropped of the spool,
surrounded by browned circuit board ... " - Mathijs

" Looks a bit like it exploded, doesn't it? " - HamsterTracker™-Observation Dept.

Geeking It ... Can be Dangerous!

" This is the way it should be fitted ... " - Mathijs

Unfortunately I touched the Ferrite (?) cubed-block,
too quickly after hearing the 'CLUNCK', finding it on the bottom of the Dream-Machine:

OUCH !!! ... Geeking It ... Can be Dangerous!

OUCH !!! ... Geeking It ... Can be Dangerous!

" OUCH!!! I put my finger under cold running water for minutes ...
It still didn't prevent these 2^nd degree burns... " - Mathijs

" You can also see a nice square like impression " - HamsterTracker™-Observation Dept.

I am so glad that I was there when it happened.
The discoloring of the circuit board, makes you wonder what could have happened...

After removing the faulty card, I had two running in 'SLI-mode',
it just needed a few reboots, and now it's up and running again ... Pffffew !

" This final breakdown, might explain
the slow-downs we have been experiencing
these last couple of days " - HamsterTracker™-Hardware Dept.

Fortunately, Lucy didn't notice a thing:

" zzz ... ZZZ ... zzz ... " - Lucy

Pffffeeew, what an experience!

Water Consumption issues ...

Today I was simply taking my measurements ...

Water Consumption-Issues with my hamster Lucy.

" The (clever-) HamsterTracker™-Software magically
translates the 16 mm. airbubble-height measurement
to the amount consumed since the last time I did this. " - Mathijs

Lucy didn't take long to appear (!)

The Glamorous life at HamsterTracker™

We enjoy the glamorous life very much...
Unfortunately, that doesn't go without it's chores ...

Fortunately, the HamsterTracker™-Cleaning Dept. finally did their magic.
So I did a quick check on achievements made:

When Lucy wants out ... she really wants out:

Another moment with my hamster Lucy on the couch.

" I WANT OUT!!! ... DUDE ... " - Lucy

I didn't know that Lucy was planning something:

Lucy's investment ...

Lucy has her own thoughts on investments:

My hamster Lucy's investments...

" You know my Dude has been giving me a lot of Pine-Seeds ...
This got me thinking ... a pat on the back is worth ... quite some Pine-Seeds ... " - Lucy

My hamster Lucy's investments...

" Let me see... Calculator ... Check! ... Itch? ... Check! ... " - Lucy

My hamster Lucy's investments...

" ... Ready? ...Check! ... I'm off now ... " - Lucy

Lucy wiggled, twiched and tickled for quite a some time,
while crawling behind me and the couch to get to 'the other side':

My hamster Lucy's investments...

" I tickled soooo much, my hand hurts ... " - Lucy

My hamster Lucy's investments...

" 6,943,321 tickles times Pine-Seeds equals ...
... That's ... a lifetime supply!
I'll give the Dude some time to RE-calculate this! " - Lucy

Please Don't EVER tell Lucy that her Pine-Seeds are covered!
WAAAAAAY beyond her retirement! :-)

The tickles are too much fun!

Extreme HamsterTrackin' by Marion

Today my parents are celebrating their 46th Wedding Anniversary!
[ Pretty neat isn't it? ]

This got me thinking ...

Cracks in the HamsterTracker™-Mailbox let this one fall through for more than six months...

Sorry, Marion & Yvonne & Don, please excuse!

Credit is where credit is due!

So here's (finally) Marion-(and her husband Geoff)'s entry:

Extreme HamsterTrackin' photographs from Great Britain.

Extreme HamsterTrackin' Yvonne & Don's 40<sup>th</sup> Wedding Aniversary!

" Yvonne and Donald Roberts our good friends for many
years were celebrating 40 years of marriage!
A Ruby wedding aniversary!
I didnt manage to get them together with Lucy as the house was full of family and friends
but Lucy joined us girls in the kitchen for some gossip...
When Dai Lake, one of Yvonnes sons in law, shot this above photograph!
Yvonne is the lady with red curls
also in the pic among several others are
Tracy, Mary-Jane and Louvaine.
The Tall brunnette lady is Louvaine the eldest daughter and Dais wife. " - Marion

Extreme HamsterTrackin' photographs from Great Britain.

" Dai is a fireman and used to be a very keen rugby player
and Don (pictured above?)
sings with the local male voice choir. " - Marion

HamsterTracker™-Shouts to Marion, Goeff, Yvonne, Don,
Dai, Tracy, Mary-Jane, Louvaine ...
and anyone we (possibly) missed ... :)

The bright side of this late post:
is that we are sharing a wedding anniversary this way...

Lucy's first blooper video & a first Macro-HD-video

The following two videos was actually one...
The shoot started surprisingly with a blooper,
which I have never seen Lucy do:

" After all this I switched to (camera-) Macro-mode ... " - Mathijs

Which I should have done in the first place ... (Mental Reminder!)

" This Pine-seed exercise was completed succesfully ! - Mathijs

It is very enjoyable to play around with Lucy,
as well as documenting it with a video camera ...

Unfortunately the couch is too dark to shoot some video's...
even with all lights on ...
So we did have our personal time too.

I hope you've enjoyed our daily ritual!
(Although this ritual is usually without the blooper!).

Handeling Lucy ... Princess, LUCY ...

It was time again for a nice cage clean!
As always the HamsterTracker™-Cage Cleaning Dept. was no where to be seen...
Fortunately, this gave me some time to plan,
as well as filming (this time using a tripod :)

Cage clean for my hamster Lucy.

" All is prepared to make the 'switch' ... " - Mathijs

Then I replaced Lucy's (just cleaned) bathroom, while recording video:

" I wasn't really ready for Lucy and her explorer ball,
that's why Lucy had to wait a few more minutes ...
After some persuasion with Pine-Seeds,
a 'pat on the back' usually does the trick;
of telling Lucy that it will take a few more minutes ...
I then had to CAREFULLY close the cage-door ...
Of course, you don't want to squish (hamster-) hands ... - Mathijs

While the computer was processing the video,
I let Lucy in her Explorer-Ball,
while I did a cage clean overhaul:

Cage clean for my hamster Lucy.

" Bedroom: installed !
(Including 'Pillow-Treats', that's HamsterTracker™-Service !) " - Mathijs

Cage clean for my hamster Lucy.

" Fresh (shaken to remove dust) bedding ... " - Mathijs

Cage clean for my hamster Lucy.

" As well as a 'Get it Yourself Pillow-Treat' for the little princess ... " - Mathijs

I can't wait to show Lucy ...

HamsterTracker.com in HD (experiment)

I've been playing around with High Definition Video these last few days.
Although these are in 720p (30 frames per second) it isn't truly HD.
BUT, it's as HD as YouTube.com allows.

Here's my first (silent) video of Lucy in HD:

" Unfortunately I didn't get the focus just right... - Mathijs

The sound was removed from both video's in post-production.
The background noices where to distracting ...

" This one is a bit shaky ... - Mathijs

Although I realize the quality of the video's isn't perfect,
it is a very enjoyable thing to play around with.

Lucy's first time on the coffee-table!

I realized that Lucy has never been on the coffee-table,
just less than two feet apart from the couch which she regularly visits!
Today, after giving the table a nice (wet) rinse,
Lucy got her opportunity:

My hamster Lucy; her first time on the coffee-table!

" I had layed a nice trail of Pine-Seeds,
This would make a wonderfull photo-shoot, I thought ... - Mathijs

My hamster Lucy; her first time on the coffee-table!

" All Gone !!! - Lucy

" Unfortunately the *FLASH* did take a while to shoot this next photograph ... - Mathijs

Things where happening so quickly,
and my camera, simply couldn't keep up with our athlete...

My hamster Lucy; her first time on the coffee-table!

" Dude ... I am off now ... - Lucy

" Hamster Tail !!! " - HamsterTracker™-Observation Dept.

My hamster Lucy; her first time on the coffee-table!

" I love the floor-in',
I just got to have that in my Mansion, Dude ... - Lucy

" Antique Wooden Flooring... right ? " - HamsterTracker™- (concerned) Financial Dept.

Meanwhile, I am trying to divert Lucy's attention with Pine-Seeds ...

Then Lucy did some more freestyle music while going all Jazz-y :

" I'll Climb Any Mountain ... " - Lucy

(That's a different song ... ) : HamsterTracker™-Musical Dept.

Then, suddenly, the singing (temporarily) stopped:
