I was wondering if someone could help me out. I’m looking for a bolt, actually 3, for the Ftn viewfinder of a Nikon F. The thing is small, really small. It is a metric bolt, which adds to the fun. I’ve tried local hardware stores (minus the Home Depot here, because they have an absolute crap selection of metric anything) to no avail. I’m tempted to run up to Calumet and see if they may know someplace to get bolts for this thing.
Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
I’ve finally gotten around to actually uploading the last 5 weeks worth of pictures from class. The pathetic part is that most of them aren’t even that many pictures. However, I have changed a few things. Instead of uploading every picture, just as it is out of the camera, I’m instead uploading proof sheets and then any of the pictures I really like after manipulation.
I figure, since I’m getting a lot better, I don’t really want to throw up every shot anymore. Plus, manipulating ever shot in photoshop takes awhile, so selecting a few will be a lot better. The proof sheet will give others what exactly is going on with each of my shoots too. Plus, if there’s anything you want, that I didn’t throw up in individual form, just drop me a line with the category and picture number, and I can email it to you, fixed or not.
I found this awesome service while searching for a new colocation for the project I’m currently on. Since I’m sure everyone has seen the LendingTree commercials, I’ll compare it with that. Basically, it’s the same thing, only with colocation instead of loans. You go to the website, fill in the requirements, and wait for the offers to roll in.
A colotraq representative contacted me since I didn’t fill out all the requirements correctly, but that went smooth. In under 24 hours, I’ve had 5 different companies giving me quotes. This is crazy easier than individually calling places. Heck, just even finding places was a major PITA. This way, I really don’t have to do anything. Awesome.
Well, waiting has finally paid off. Today’s Steep And Cheap, was a 3 person, 3 season, dual door Sierra Designs tent for 50% off. They actually had the two person version up there a few days ago, but I really wanted two doors. Having to pee at 3am and climbing over the other person is just no fun. No fun at all.
Hopefully it’ll arrive before this weekend, but regardless, I can’t wait.
I really enjoy having plants in my apartment. However, I can never seem to keep them alive for very long. It’s not that I don’t want to, or that I purposefully forget, it’s just that life is busy, and the first thing on my mind is not watering them. Unfortunately, the only time I really remember is when they start to look like then need some TLC. Thankfully, the plants, I have now seem to be able to bounce back from that, but it definitely limits what I can keep.
Oh, and the lighting in our apartment is either non-existant, or it’s brutally hot. I wish I could find something to put in the kitchen window sills, but everything I’ve tried with so far has, essentially, been fried.
What the hell is ABC thinking? Saturday, 11:30 PM CST, World Cup coverage (Ghana vs Czech Republic, awesome game), 1:00 PM CST some crappy ABC Kids show, 1:30 PM CST more World Cup Coverage (USA vs Italy).
Seriously, why the hell are they putting some awful kids show between the two FIFA games? Talk about losing viewers, especially when everyone’s trying to promote US Soccer.
LiveMeeting 2005: when it works, it’s great, when it doesn’t, talk about horrible. I’m trying to listen to some TechEd webcasts, but I get no audio. The error message comes up and says it can’t download the codec that is used and I should click on “Web Help”. Where is this mysterious “Web Help” button? Also, why does it just not tell me what codec the audio stream is using so, well, I don’t know, go look for it?
Talk about annoying.
Leostream, who I’ve talked about before, has a few new demo’s up on their website. Having used some of the demoed software before, these are pretty well done. I would definitely take a look at them. Oh, and it doesn’t seem to work in IE7 beta, and there are other people saying it doesn’t work in IE at all, so break out firefox or something else to check em out.
I don’t care how much you love a baseball team, or any sports team for that matter, this does not make it ok to drop an f-bomb when something does not go your team’s way. Especially at levels in which I can hear it on the other side of the gym. Additionally, this is not limited to f-bombs either, any sort of outburst of derogitory names or anything similar.
Oh, and wearing headphones with your music blaring while you do this makes it worse.
Reason #1 why you DO NOT enable windows drive compression: uncompressing.
Just to leave this entry not so cryptic…
Windows compression is definitely not the way to go in any scenario. Between the speed hit, the little space you actually get, and how cheap hard drive space is now, there is no reason to use it.
Oh, did I mention how long it takes to uncompress a drive?
