I just finished uploading the batch from Disneyland. If any of them are comment-worthy I would appreciate it.

Well that sucks.

I still use quite a few .txt files, but they open in notepad by default. I don't even have MS Office (any version) installed on my workstation anymore.

I agree that it's stupid, but those apps are 10+ years old. How many real-world people is this going to affect?

I didn't see in the article which file types are affected? Would Office 2000 docs be locked out? Office XP?

Sweet. Let me know how it works out. You've got me interested in playing with this stuff again as well.

I highly suspect that both (and managed switches in general) are overkill for your house. I should know, I specialize in that kind of overkill ;)

I asked where they wanted me for the ceremony, and they said that I would distract from the moment. I did get pictures all through the rehearsal and party, as well as many posed shots. It will be some time before I can post them here, I need to show them and then get their permission to do so...

Just got home from New Years; it was part of the same trip. I've barely had time to do the photo selection, much less the post-processing stuff. The bride and groom haven't even seen any yet :P

If the features of the Procurve work for you, the lack of fan, low power and low heat swing the deal IMHO. Even if the fan noise is a non-issue as stated, if the switch is dependant on a fan than that makes it less reliable than one that can work well without.

New Years was not bad. Although there were 45k people in the parks, and they canceled the fireworks due to high wind, we found an open table at the vineyard in California Adventure and had champagne; the fireworks went off anyway.

I'm in Disneyland...hard to post from the rides ;)

Damn, that does look cool...

Thanks much for the tips, guys. I just got to my hotel and am copying the pictures off the CF cards as we speak. A total of ~550 shots were taken during rehearsal and at the party, no photography was specifically requested during the ceremony (I applaud the idea). The flash did stay on the...

Cap replacement isn't hard. All the values for the caps are written on the caps. (De)soldering is a pretty simple process, and the parts themselves are cheap.

Nope. It comes with a mini-tripod thing so I can set it down on a table or chair nearby. I was looking at the brackets, and none of them had enough versatility to justify the added bulk/weight. Worst case I just get someone handy to hold the flash where I want it.

Speedlite 430EX 4GB Sandisk Extreme IV Off Camera Shoe Cord 2 That ups my CF storage to ~15GB (16000 RAW images). I already have 12 rechargeable AA batteries and a quick charger. We'll see how it goes.

I can't believe I just spent another $500 on this hobby...

Two batteries for the camera, a pack of batteries for the flash, and 3-4 4GB CF cards. Got it.

Sourcing samples? Testing methodology? Testing equipment? Has anyone here written product reviews before?

At the time my GF was big into Buffy and Angel (when they came out). We even played the game for X-Box.

Radar Detector, and nearly 5 days. I forget to turn it off all the time, but I usually don't let the car sit for more than 12 hours at a time, so it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the tips guys, that is the kind of stuff I was looking for. The entire event will be at their house, ceremony and all, and I'll have plenty of time there before to get some testing in. Slacks and a button-down are the clothes of the day. To get the flash off to the side, do I need a...

Looks like I'll be shooting a wedding on Saturday. Worse, it looks like it will be raining and will be held indoors. Looks like I'll be buying a Speedlite 430EX tomorrow and learning how to use it. They know how inexperienced I am, and have informed me that it will be acceptable. Of course, I...

But that would be boring...like car magazines reviewing minivans. Useful? Informative? Yes. But still boring.

Correct. I think.

Turned out the car battery was just really, really dead. The tow truck had to let it charge for 10+ minutes and have his truck attached simultaneously to get it to turn over. But now all is well, except for the $90 fee to jump my car. Shouldn't have let my AAA expire.

Official KB article.

Car won't start. I was hoping the battery was just dead, but a jump didn't fix it, either. Tow truck is on the way, I'm afraid it is the starter. I'm supposed to be leaving tomorrow for LA for vacation :(

Nice Merc, beat me to it.

Computer 1 <----> Computer 2 192.168.0.100 <----> 192.168.0.105 - Without jumbo frames 10.0.0.100 <----> 10.0.0.105 - With jumbo frames Now, if you refer to computer 2 using 10.0.0.105, it should use jumbo frames, no? If you keep your default gateway as 192.168.0.1, it...

Awesome. My clients have been really quiet, I haven't billed more than a few hours in the last couple weeks. It's starting to be a bit scary.

By using different subnets and referring to everything via IP.

Sounds like a blast, Tony. I woke up this morning to a beautiful sunny day and was inspired to head out into the hills and take some pictures. As soon as I got to my car I noticed it's battery is completely dead, I haven't driven it in 5 days! Certainly the longest without driving it in years...

GigE speeds, yes. Jumbo frames? Not sure.

Like in your car? You have a Subaru Outback, no? Easy to sleep in the back of that. I used to have an air mattress that fit the back of my car perfectly with the rear seats down. Still 6in too short, but better than just about anything outdoors.

Just finished entertaining Olga's best friend and her new guy (she left her husband about a month ago). She was more fun with her previous guy; her was Dutch, the new one is Russian. Coincidence? I think not.

I was under the impression that a NIC either sends jumbo frames or it doesn't. If jumbo frames are enabled on the NIC, then everything it talks to has to be able to handle them. If your router can't handle jumbo frames, then that traffic won't get out. I believe this is why jumbo frames are...

I have been told that using both network ports on a computer by bridging them allows one side to run jumbo frames and the other side to not. If this is the case, and you only have the two devices to run GbE, you could just connect a crossover cable between the second GbE port on the server and...

Based on my research (ie - not guaranteed to be accurate) Get a basic GbE switch, connect it to your router, connect your GbE devices to the switch. This still won't utilize "Jumbo Frames", but it will be faster (at least mine was) between GbE devices. In order to use jumbo frames, you need...

Last night at 7PM I realized I had forgotten one of Olga's gifts. Fortunately, it was available about 100 meters away and the store was open until 8PM. Now I get to wrap it silently while she is asleep. Wrapping silently doesn't sound like fun.

Quite often the consumer-level routers will only route data through themselves, regardless of what you set them to.

Posting from the bush? Awesome. Using your mobile? What kind of speed do you get? What is causing the affect in the background of the latest image?

Best of luck, Tony. I always enjoy what you bring back.

Last year we went to my grandmothers house for Christmas. Unfortunatly, I failed to book a hotel room in time and we ended up sleeping on the floor in the living room. That wasn't so bad; but my cousin (6) coming in and waking me up at 3, 5 and 6AM asking if it was 'time' yet was a little brutal.

I just realized, I'm barbecuing burgers on Christmas Eve. I forgot what tomorrow was. How very Californian of me.

Those memory numbers are about what I would expect. Comparing a new on-board solution with an older video card that was designed as the low-end to begin with, is a good indicator of how poor on-board really is.

According to the MPAA/RIAA's new laws it may be illegal, seems they are trying to prevent moving content from one medium to another. But I have the originals of 90%+ of the content in boxes in storage. Most of the music I did own (the 320kbps rips are a good indicator), but the CDs were stolen...

That nose has to be good for something...
