So the
new toy arrived today. Got a second box without a return address which happened to be the CF card and reader which were expected Friday so that was nice. Lots of people wanted to see it and stopped by today, so I have
a gallery of photos up from the day. After work I went to National Camera and picked up a case for pretty cheap and got a UV filter so don't have to worry quite as much about the lens. Then went to take some night shots, but unfortunately caffeine, cold, and handheld multi-second shots don't mix well so I only have 3 and they weren't focused properly since I couldn't see through the viewfinder at the angle. Got home and figured out importing and resizing them. 6MP is definitely too high, I run at 1600x1200 and it shows about a quarter of the picture at full size. Luckily under unix it's pretty easy to batch convert and even add names so I have the full size for the web at 1152x768. Yep, that's 3:2 like film and not the traditional 4:3. :) Spent more time in the evening on the phone with my sister troubleshooting printing from XP. That WebClient service has got to be one of the craziest things Microsoft has done in a while. The new phone is still working great, so I'm happy there. Hopefully the other phones and plan for everything but my phone will get worked out soon. Other things with the phone include me writing that weather thing I meantioned last night and it seems to work well. Response time is mainly limited by the email server it's running on (which will hopefully be fixed soon).
