    How to overlay a web graphic

    I don't know much about web devel. but have you thought about making the picture of the watercourse the background of the webpage. Shouldn't the browser then take care of the "blending".

    What the.......

    It would be interesting to see what would happen if you now Ghosted the "new and improved" drive to another HD. Maybe also in sector by sector mode. I'm guessing ghost would choke and error if there was a problem. Certainly less tedious than viewing all of the files.

    Yeah mostly with the IBMs its out of warranty "parts consolidation". And yeah that is a nice IBM touch. If thought about mimicing that with Loctite "thread locker".

    Thread revisited: Laptop recommendations

    Booting DOS from the NT OS Loader

    This task is much more easily accomplished with a different boot loader. One that can change the active partitions on the fly. The NT boot loader is pretty stupid. The MBR is very similar between NT and DOS. All the NT fancy stuff happens at the next step. You might try LILO or Grub or some...

    I need a tripod.

    I can not find the Soligor tapletop tripod on the web but I bet I'd like the price. How do you use it as a "chest tripod". If I assume usage correctly; doesn't your upper body move? All the tabletop tripods I could find had rigid legs. I have seen before small tripods with "conduit legs". It...

    I need a tripod.

    I don't typicly go to a location and shoot what is there. I typicly hike along until I see something interesting (could be the subject or just interesting framing etc.) and take a couple pictures of it. Then I go back to hiking. This could go on for 5 or 10 miles. I don't see how that plate you...

    I need a tripod.

    OK, so now I'm ready to purchase. I've read that I might want to get a quick-release. Yes/No? I think I'd be more likely to "pull over" and take a shot if I had quick setup and breakdown. What am I looking for? Would it be an addition to the 724B?

    This is the true joy of life: the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. - George Bernard Shaw

    Not that I'm not enjoying the problem solving, but wouldn't it be easier to schedule the download to run every two days and pull two days worth. Then you wouldn't need all this error checking.

    Farewell (but perhaps not goodbye)

    In the movie, Joe is a bit of a hypochondriac. There is nothing really wrong with him except that he's really unhappy. I think his doctor makes up the "brain cloud" to give Joe something to focus on. It is essentially a movie about finding ones purpose. Yes, The luggage is fairly good too. :D
