Smithsburg man killed in collision with pickup By DON AINES (chambersburg@hearald-mail.com) SMITHSBURG - A Smithsburg father of three died Friday night at Washington County Hospital following a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Smithsburg Pike and Bradbury Ave., according to the Washington County Sheriff's Department. Steven Michael Hutchison, 48, of 22814 Welty Church Road, died of injuries he sustained in the 7:03 p.m. accident, police said. The driver of the other vehicle, an unidentified 17-year-old boy, sustained minor injuries in the crash. He was treated at the hospital and later released, police said. Hutchison, a firewall security systems software developer for Sourcefire in Columbia, Md., was northbound in a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta on Smithsburg Pike and the juvenile was eastbound in a 2003 Ford F-150 on Bradbury Avenue, police said. The juvenile failed to stop at the stop sign and drove into the intersection, striking the driver's side of the Jetta and causing the car to flip end-over-end, police said. Alcohol or drugs were not believed to have been a factor in the accident, police said. Both Hutchison and the juvenile were wearing seat belts, police said. The accident was under investigation, Deputy Jasen Logsdon said. Logsdon said there was another boy in the pickup truck who refused medical treatment at the scene. The policy of the sheriff's department is to not release the names of juveniles, he said. Pattie Hutchison, Steven Hutchison's wife of 20 years, said the couple has three children, Eric, who is in college, and Elizabeth and Jacob, both of whom attend Smithsburg High School. Though he was two years older than her, the couple shared the same birthday and grew up together in Etchison, Md., she said. "He was a great dad. He loved his children," she said. "He loved to read books. He loved to go to college and learn." In addition to being an award-winning software developer, Steven Hutchison also enjoyed riding his horse and raising dogs, she said. He also was a collector of Civil War memorabilia, she said. "I'm going to miss him so much," Pattie Hutchison said. "He was my buddy."

I hate my website, and cytoplastik.com. They need to be sexier. Currently they are, uhm, sucksy. Mostly I need the backend to change so it will use a database. Stupid flat file system is sucking it big time. Cytoplastik.com's interface is the fugliest. I need to change that too. But then the images load so slowly, and I need that to change too. I need a complete reworking of the backends for both sites, but I just haven't set aside the time. I know there are a lot of things I need to do, like record. I have been writing a renoise super solo practice bass and drum track to do some of my favorite leads over. I think once I am finished and I have the whole thing sounding pretty good I will make a youtube video of it. I need to harness the power of using off site image hosting more. That way more of my content can be offloaded from my server. It gets hit harder these days than it used to. I attribute it to cytoplastik radio, but who knows. I found this music search engine thingy called "dizzler" I'm not going to link it directly, but if you use it, many of cytoplastik's mp3s are searchable. It's kinda weird. I made this slick little auction sniper for ebay. I tried to use their API but I haven't delved into it. I only learned they had a developer API after I had already written my script, and mine works so whatever. I looked at a townhouse today. It was pretty nice. Bigger than my current place by quite a bit, but I want to see what else is available. There are a couple of new places in Dorsey Hall. They seem promising, but I'll have to see. We got Isis this cardboard house that you can color. She is all about it. She and Kat have been coloring it for days. I wonder what they will do when it's finished. The lighting inside is a little weak, but it's still pretty cool. It's like the cardboard box I used to have, except it actually looks like a house. Isis can stand in it. I ordered an XO laptop www.laptop.org and I haven't gotten it yet. Apparently I should get it between "Dec 17-31" It's a month after I ordered it, but I'm hoping it will be worth it. I can't believe I am getting my daughter an actual laptop. She's 5. But I guess that's how technology works these days. My dad told me when he bought his first 8086 back in oh, 1985, that it cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $1800. Now you may say wow $1800, but 22 years ago that was a LOT more money than it is now. My mother said "but how will we ever recover the cost?" Now I have many computers, and I am getting my daughter a personal laptop. I didn't have my own until I was maybe 18 or so. Whatever. The child of a geek shall reap the rewards. We are supposed to get ICE tomorrow afternoon for about 30 hours straight. Not snow, but straight ice. In the form of freezing rain. Maryland is great for that. One quarter to one half inch of ice. That is a whole lot of suck. It is sleepytime.

The United States prison system is a total failure
I upgraded my laptop to ubuntu's "gutsy gibbon" this weekend and found many a problem:
1) The video starts all outta whack
I had to add some stuff to my xorg.conf so my video would be in an even usable state
2) The upgrade did NOT upgrade my wireless drivers
My wireless card, a broadcom piece of crap, is not supported by native linux drivers. You must run the windows drivers "wrapped" in ndiswrapper. The NDISWRAPPER source package was NOT upgraded and I had to get it on my desktop and transfer it over a usb drive to get wireless working again. Annoying
3) Compiz fusion is broken
Gutsy comes with compiz, but you must remove all packages having to do with compiz and emerald before the gutsy repositories' version will work. I used the trevino repositories, and you have to run a command similar to the following to remove everything: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l |{awk /emerald/||/compiz/||/libdeco/{print $2}}`
and then follow it up by removing whatever repository you were using for compiz from your /etc/apt/sources.list The fusion-icon is NOT available in the gutsy repositories, and you have to run compiz from the command line with "compiz --replace" to get it to start. A little annoying to say the least. 4) Loading dbus hangs, but I had that problem before upgrading... maybe it's a deskbar problem?
5) The volume controls SUCK. I use the scroll wheel, and the indicator on my task bar says "muted" and the volume buttons produce a very similar effect.
6) Upon login, my wireless card is *not* associated with any network, and the networking card is down. You must associate the fucking card with an ESSID and then tell it to turn on.
I know most of this crap can be automated through making a script, and adding the script to startup programs and whatnot. I can easily do this, but I shouldn't have to. The OS should have these kind of things in mind. I have to say overall I have also not noticed any real improvements in the interface, so I cannot recommend upgrading from feisty to gutsy for any reason ATM.
