There goes that theory, IE has encounted a problem & needs to shut down! Wish I knew what was going on.

Does anyone know how to deceipher error reporting stuff that the 'putor sends?

When was the last time you swept for malware / viruses?

And how much memory / free HD space do you have?

Do you not find that the head which beeps last changes depending on how you set up the ratios etc? ?!

Yep, But when setting up you normally know which light will be the last to charge.
As I said, in my case it is easy as my two Elinchroms charge almost instantly. My 3rf light which was ultra cheap takes longer. Actually it is lucky that it is always the last one... as I don't have the option to turn off the peep on that one.
I got it because it was cheaper to buy that light with a grid & barn doors and gells, than to get the barn doors and grid alone for the Elinchroms! Though it is definitley the weakest link.

Yeah, I picked that:lol:

Peter, I have the opportunity to get another one, someone else at the same branch won one as well but doesn't have kids. I think he wants too much for it though. Having just the one could be a useful tool/bribe though. Now, which one of you two is making me a coffee?:lol:

Your on... do you do free deliverys to Germany. Oh & they drive on the right hand side of the road here so it might not work :)

Last was yesterday, done regularly, fairly clean XP Pro install, 2G Ram, C drive 160G, free space 84%, system is fairly clean, initially thought problem was heat but temperatures are well inside normal range. (I'm just looking for a reason to upgrade really:rolleyes:)

<gets coat, stamps feet, walks out the door, never to return again!> :p

Had to laugh, because after typing that I took my favourite photo magazine with me and went for a crap. (I can share more details if anyone in interested) Anyway I opened it up and there was a big article on how to create HDRI panos! The top of a 2 page spread was a 360 degree 48 photo HDRI Pano of a city centre & it looked horrible!

Hopefully it was just a magazine you took with you and not your camera.

You don't need reasons for that. Just do it.

The process has stalled for now anyway as Bob has lost the details for the ISP account, the login and password thing.

Surely though if I am into the admin stuff for the wireless router, put the new Orcon details into the login and password fields replacing the old UK ones and connect the wire in the back, that's running? Nothing else has changed.

For NZ...
PPPoA, VcMux, VCI 0, VPI 100

Is it working yet?

4)it also causes my back to be Farkd with vertebrae and nerves

5) dont tell me to put those prostetic shoe things in cuz i have them and theres only so high u can make them

6)just thort of it now my should are all Farkd from people cutting them for prostetics lol

7) people tell me i have the brains to do nething but im too lazy

8) i really am to lazy and i cant not be

9)i didnt just win lotto LOL

10)my mum is always yelling at me causing me TO HAVE ANGER PROBLEMS!(hence Re:i hate whalers.....)

I've got one of the background stands you're referring to on Trademe :) I got it from johnchalmers... its very good and holds up a roll of paper as well. (was the heavy duty one ($190) I was using just general material in black and white first - but then got the roll of white paper off Tony which is a lot better.. I'm looking at getting a roll of black paper too and have had that priced at $155 (the cheapest here in Auckland).

The stand itself is very portable, the paper is not - so if I have to do anything out and about it needs to be the cloth background.

how wide does your one go to? Do you have a model number?

I had a smashed knee and neck a few years back that always return to ghaunt me, especially in the cold! Neck gives me migraines about twice a week :(

I genuinely :lol:'d at that! The thought somehow that 10,000 miles away or more, there's a Kiwi on the sh*tter giggling about a photo magazine and some moaning oik in NZ proper tickles me! Though not sure about the thoughts of Dave/crap connection... ;)

I can sense some forum catchphrases coming on, about time we had some in-jokes! The car forum I use is full of them and it does add to the giggle quota!

Yeah working fine, surfing using the wireless thing now. Joeseph/Duncan posted up those VCI VPI values last night and one of them was different in the UK spec as it was so I swapped that and away we went... :D Cheers!
