Red Ring Tupperware Party, Clown Hunting (21)

[Harm]

Very Cool...

pack you bag and get your passport ready then :D

[vipergts831]

I'm actually kind of glad they didn't drop the price point. Would have been a dumb move - would have devalued the devices currently owned by people just by setting a lower price to compete with the Kindle Fire.

That being said, I always skip a generation with this stuff, and since I have the iPad2, I'll wait for the next iPad to replace it.

That is the motto for all apple products :D

[FlyingPhotog]

pack you bag and get your passport ready then :D

I know the "dirty little secret" though...

You might sit up there freezing your butt off for a week and not see a single aircraft! I know people who've made the trek and come home empty handed (empty carded?)

It would have to be part of a larger itinerary to the UK or Europe in general.

I wish some of the knuckleheads in the 5D3 threads would adopt this mantra... :rolleyes:

[Belmondo]

Still rockin' a 3G iPad MkI and still pretty happy with it.

Phone though is getting long in the bluetooth and will probably be the next upgrade


My one big regret was that I didn't wait for the first iPad 3G. They weren't available when Apple released the first iPad, and didn't become readily available for a while. What was I thinking?

well, now with the armed forces returning, the MOD cash flow being slashed as part of the government cuts, and the harrier being retired...

Best thing you may see is a paper aeroplane from the opposite hillside :D

I have the 3G 64 and Kristy has the non-3G 32.

Only regret here is that we should have gotten Kristy 3G capability. Didn't realize that she'd get into certain apps (games) that kind of rely on the web to use effectively.

[Mistabernie]

Well, if I sell my 5Dc and buy a 5D Mark iii, that's skipping a generation, right? :D

we bought the iPad2 when it came out, 64GB - non-3G, but purely for skyping back home and to family. I already pay plenty for my iphone, I can't justify spending more per month for 3 or 4G on an ipad - yet. Unless I get a hefty pay increase!

Well, if I sell my 5Dc and buy a 5D Mark iii, that's skipping a generation, right? :D

are you needing us to convince you to buy the 5D3? You should have preordered the day it came out.

[Mistabernie]

Why? US On sale date is 3/22, and according to CanonRumors, there's plenty to go around.

[Harm]

now you are convincing yourself NOT to buy!

[Belmondo]

What if you sell the 3g ipad? That would put a big dent into the price of a new one.Certainly it would offset some of the cost. I'm just not convinced I even want one.

[Mistabernie]

I made a deal with my wife - if I can secure enough side jobs to pay for it by the end of the summer, I can buy one. Notice, I'm not running out and scheduling jobs just to justify it. I haven't even really done much with my 5D2 yet - got it in February, still under 500 clicks (the night I had it out with the Boston meetup was like the second day I had it).

[*sigh*]

I'm trying to decide if a I want an ipad or ultrabook.

very nice, Bernie

[FlyingPhotog]

Very nice Bernie!

May I offer one suggestion? Drop a carriage return between each image string. Night shots tend to run into each other without a little breathing room.

[Mistabernie]

Thanks gents (and also for the carriage return suggestion, didn't even think of that..)

[ISO Boz]

G12 is slowly coming down in price.. I've seen them recently around the $350 mark which seems like a pretty good deal. I have to imagine getting rid of an old iPad would do wonders to get you towards the goal of getting one of those little guys (I am almost sad that I didn't just cough up the extra money and get that instead of the S95, but I got mine from the ridiculous Amazon deal they had not too long before Christmas - $229 I believe - and couldn't pass it up).



True story, I buy cell phones more regularly than I buy clothing.

I'd like a G 12 :D

Hey Mel.

My neighbor was laid to rest today, had seven service men at the grave site. 4 fired rifles, 1 was on the bugle, and the other 2 at the casket. We had 40mph gusts, I give those guys credit for the tight fold they preformed on the flag. They also gave the wife the shells in a little black bag, I've never been to a military service like this, very touching indeed.

[Chet]

This was the family picture I took for them on Thanksgiving of last year. Ralph was able to be a real trooper for us all. I had a 18x12 print matted and framed for them, turned out great.

Jay - you might be interested in this. Infineon Technologies is not renewing its naming rights contract with Sears Point. There is no new sponsor on the horizon right now. I always liked it better as Sears Point, but I can understand how they liked having the $3.4 million per year income from Infineon.

[FlyingPhotog]

I've always called it Sears Point or just Sonoma.

Never got into the whole Infineon thing.

[Timphoto]

I hope my shoulder gets well enough that I can get in a track day out there later this summer.

[Woolburr]

Yep...always been Sears Point....what the heck is an Infineon anyway?

[Belmondo]

Yep...always been Sears Point....what the heck is an Infineon anyway?

agree on Sears point.

[Timphoto]

Infineon is a huge electronics company. I think their connection to Sears Point is the IC's they make for car and truck engines.

Quick observation on LR4....this thing is more like a beta release than a finished product. Constant freezes, crashes and flashing screens. Hope v.4.1 is on the horizon. People thinking of upgrading might want to hold off....or just buy it at the good price and wait for the fixes to come out.

Hey Dan, you have image editing ok, so I hope you're ok with me tweaking your photo since it's missing one thing...

Mr.Jack Zellman
INSPECTION UNIT
Harts-field-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Hi,

I am Mr. Jack Zellman Director Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agent in Heart field International Airport Atlanta Georgia.
During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from United Kingdom under ISHIP FORWARDERS Company and it was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 110kg each.

The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non-Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more that $3 to 4M and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a registered shipping Company, Courier Dispatch Service Limited a division of Tran guard LTD. The Consignment they are two metal box with weight of about 110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.)Approximately,

The details of the consignment including your name are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.

Provide your Phone Number full address, name of nearest Airport around and other details or disregard. You can send the required details to me for onward delivery.

All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 3 hours and proceed to your address for delivery. But i must get assurance from you concerning my 50% before i will proceed.

I want us to transact this business and share the money,since the shipper have abandoned it and ran away.I will pay for the Non Inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, Once we are through i will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep. or i can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But i will share it 50% to you and 50% to me. But you have to assure me of my 50%.

If you agreed with my condition, Below are my direct telephone number and i wait to hear from you.

To This end, I Request that you Contact Me Immediately on My Private Email Address: officebox62@yahoo.co.jp

No Problemo...

[Woolburr]

I am having serious doubts about LR4....this is acting weirder and weirder. I have to restart it after every image I edit.

[FlyingPhotog]

I am having serious doubts about LR4....this is acting weirder and weirder. I have to restart it after every image I edit.

That's not good...

I've seen several reports of it running very, very slowly.

Comparisons between LR4 and LR3.2 have been made. :(

[Woolburr]

I was more impressed with LR 1.4

[FlyingPhotog]

That's really not good news... :(:(

[Woolburr]

I'm sure they will fix it, but right now....I feel like I got robbed. Any time you drop that much cash on an upgrade, I think it is reasonable to expect it to work properly.

[thomascanty]

Quick observation on LR4....this thing is more like a beta release than a finished product. Constant freezes, crashes and flashing screens. Hope v.4.1 is on the horizon. People thinking of upgrading might want to hold off....or just buy it at the good price and wait for the fixes to come out.

I bought and installed the upgrade yesterday but I haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet. Sounds like I should keep using v3.6 until they have a new update. The folks over on the Lightroom Forums (http://www.lightroomforums.net/) are reporting a few weird bugs, too. The main gripe there seems to be that when LR4 converts your LR3 catalogs it loses all tone curves you have applied to your images. That can make a huge difference to the final outcome of an image...

[Woolburr]

Yeah....I've seen some talk about the curves being messed up. Fortunately, I don't do curves in LR....I do them over in PSE.

[FlyingPhotog]

Guess I'll hold off on snagging LR4.

Wonder if they'll tweak it before the current pricing deal runs out though. :(

[Woolburr]

Seems like that might be a very short turn around. The good thing is that you can download and not install.....or install and not import any catalog. So you could get it and experiment with it one image at a time instead of putting your entire catalog(s) at risk.

[FlyingPhotog]

Good point...

Did you have the Beta installed and just drop a key in or did you install from scratch?

[thomascanty]

It leaves your LR3 catalogs alone when it converts. It just creates a new version of it for LR4. So, I wouldn't say you're putting your catalog at risk. You can always go back to the LR3 one and convert it again when they fix LR4.

[thomascanty]

Good point...

Did you have the Beta installed and just drop a key in or did you install from scratch?

I never did install the Beta. I tried to put it on my "experimental" computer, but that system runs XP and LR4 no longer supports XP. And, I never got around to installing it on my Win7 machine.

But, the Beta version had a hard-coded time limit. It isn't the same as the final release. You'd have to install the new one fresh.

[Woolburr]

I didn't play with the Beta either. I downloaded the release.

[FlyingPhotog]

Good to know... I'll go nuke the Beta then and see what's up with a 4.1

[Woolburr]

There is a note that if you install the Beta, you have to uninstall it for LR4 to install properly.

[FlyingPhotog]

Ok Then...

[Belmondo]

Mornin', guys. I bought the release and installed it yesterday. I haven't done anything with it yet except play with one old image. Nothing startling, and no problems. I still have the previous two iterations of LR installed on the computer, so going back shouldn't be a problem, even if I'm just feeling nostalgic.

Anyone hear any screams from up north? I'm just curious if the boyfriend has used the razor yet.

[Timphoto]

I guess you could always buy it and not install it until 4.1 comes out. I'm sure Adobe will fix it. I bought my upgrade through the Educational channel and something went wrong there for sure. Even though I'm the signatory on one of their six figure Education CLP's, I'm having a hard time convincing them I qualify for the Education discount. Go figure. ???

[Woolburr]

I will say this about LR4....the RAW converter is vastly improved.

Odd. I installed LR4 yesterday and have been moving over all my scanned pics. So far I have had no issues with it at all. It's been stable and fast. Today I got to get the NIK filter thing ironed out. Those did not come over.

[Belmondo]

Yellow! (in its tolerable form)


Nice, Wool.

[Woolburr]

Yep....Tim....I have to agree with Tom on that one! :lol:

[Woolburr]

Mine brought the NIK filters in just fine. Just not sure what is causing all the crashes and flashing screens.

[Timphoto]

It's the shifty look in your eye, Tim.

These old eyes are too tired to be shifty. :( They're probably still holding a grudge from the last time I negotiated a site license with them.

[gjl711]

Nice trains, DanI'm guessing I have to re-install for LR. They did not automagically reappear.

[gjl711]

[gjl711]

Aww.. look.. their mating.

[Woolburr]

CSX stuff is like that....they seem to breed frequently.

[Mistabernie]

I had most of my images in the 'missing images' temporary catalog when I installed LR4 (which I did without uninstalling beta, but I believe it uninstalled it for me because it deleted my beta icon), but as of right now nothing appears to be actually missing. Also, LR couldn't find some of my folders (I think I closed it during the initial import of my LR3 catalog), and when I pointed out the first one, the rest didn't automatically update finding them in the appropriate location, but I'm not too sure it did that in the first place. Other than that, I've had no real issues, but it's a bit slower than LR3 when I click on the develop tab.

On the positive side, It's still gonna be light at 7 pm. and getting lighter every day. :)

Pretty well. Almost 60 degrees west of Boston (supposed to get close to the record of 67 today). If this had happened next week, I'd go out shooting after work with the extra daylight...

after last year's winter, you are actually complaining about this year's weather already??

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Mornin', guys. I bought the release and installed it yesterday. I haven't done anything with it yet except play with one old image. Nothing startling, and no problems. I still have the previous two iterations of LR installed on the computer, so going back shouldn't be a problem, even if I'm just feeling nostalgic.

Anyone hear any screams from up north? I'm just curious if the boyfriend has used the razor yet.

It will probably be a few days before he decides to shave again. He's not really into the clean and presentable look.

I did file the blades so they are not really sharp anymore.

THIS! I can actually start riding after work outside again! :D

No complaining from me. We actually skipped winter this year. :)

[gjl711]

THIS! I can actually start riding after work outside again! :DYup. Waiting for the trails to dry out a little but the bike is coming off of the rafters, getting tuned up and gonna put some serious miles on it this year. :)

[*sigh*]

Good Morning.

[Harm]

Hi Nick, how are you?

[*sigh*]

I'm doing alright, and yourself?

[Harm]

good thanks :D

[Mistabernie]

I'm just complaining due to timing, not due to the fact that it's been unseasonably mild most of the season with record low amounts of snow (especially compared to last year).

[Belmondo]

Geez. I didn't realize we had to change clocks again so soon. Other than losing the hour's sleep, I actually like daylight savings. Longer evenings are good for walking/bike riding, and this puts us on the same time as Arizona. Our last drive over to Scottsdale was remarkable for two reasons: we had to replace the battery in the car, and we arrived an hour later than we had planned because it was the time of year when they're an hour ahead of us.

Too confusing.

Too confusing.:lol: I love not having to change the clocks, but at the same time it's almost worse we don't. Sure our time never changes, but we still have to pay attention to DST since everyone else is changing...

Regardless, at least you don't have to reset your clocks AND your body twice a year. I have never liked getting up in the dark, although I do it most of the time.

Having to adjust my sleep schedule would be no fun though. :(

In a way, Arizona and California share more than a border. We're sort of 'joined at the hip' because of our proximity. Phoenix is closer to greater SoCal than San Francisco, and because of its sprawl has a similar look and feel. And for people like me, downtown Phoenix is only 90 miles farther than downtown Los Angeles.

Yep, we;re almost cousins.

I hear you JJ. I have to send mine in for the yearly tune up. :D

Be thankful your getting up! :shock:

I just do myself. In the fall I presure wash off all the road grime, lube up the chain, let the air out of the tires. I'll fill'em up, take the wheels off and repack the bearings, adjust the derailleurs and cables, lube all the moving parts and replace the speedometer battery and I'm good to go.

Be thankful your getting up! :shock:

One of the problems of being old is, some days you're up and don't even realize it. The body runs on reflex, and the brain takes the day off.

That pretty much describes me this morning. :o

One of 'those' days, huh?

[Timphoto]

Yes it is. Good thing I only have two meetings today. I can hide in my office most of the day. ;-)
