Help identify these plasma neon displays
Okay, the last time I asked for help identifying an unknown device, you guys came through. Even Evil Mad Scientist helped out (you guys rock.) Well, I now have two Panaplex-style neon displays that I can’t seem to find that much information on. Does anyone have any information on these or hints to where I can find more information? I’ve found a few references to the larger display, but have not had any luck locating data sheets
Or, do you just have an interesting factoid about these guys?

Website Hosting & Costs
Dear Internet,
I need some guidance and I hope you can provide some help. Hosting my two websites (this one and tubeclockdb.com) is getting expensive.
I’ve used nearly a dozen shared hosting companies before going to Media Temple’s (GS) service. The reason that I liked Media Temple was that their support was great and they proactively notify customers when there will be a potential outage. They are far above other hosts I’ve used: Bluehost, PowWeb, Deamhost, and lots of other low end providers.

I need a little tech help…
How can I, using only command line tools, find the newest .jpg file in a given directory? I would like to use that in part of a cron job so I can copy images from my moblog to a common directory with my Word Press instillation.
Basically:
- find the matching image
- cp /moblog /content/images/latest.jpg
- embed /content/images/latest.jpg in one of my posts
- execute steps 1 & 2 via cron
Anyone know how to pull this off? Read more
