That is what happens when you forget to color calibrate your new laptop screen and do the PP while the client is still there, on that screen. Take another look, and thanks for the catch.

That is pretty quick.

2:15AM. Just finished a photo shoot of a friend's jewelery. I like this one.

Brutally hard day here...really not much ability to do anything of value (like post here ;))

Yes, 18 lumens would be fine for that. I just use the LED screen of the cellphone, and that is considerably less than 18 lumens.

At least you get a trip. I'll be taking pictures of my house for a long time to come, as that is the only place I can afford to be.

Ah, so you will be exchanging it for another 7D? I thought you were returning it for something else.

Yup. I've bought a few of them. People have liked them enough to order their own for home.

Interesting. I haven't had such issues. What will you be using instead?

I live in a place where AC isn't necessary. That helps.

This is far from a "Quality" monitor, but I am impressed with it. And a 23" for <$200 is nothing to sneeze at. Acer V233HAJbd

My laptop has an i7 and a 512MB nVidia 3100M. It seems to be comparable to my i5 750 at home for basic gaming.

Wouldn't turn on? Wouldn't focus?

No permits needed yet. But that starts today, I'm meeting my contractor in 30 minutes.

Yay wall demolition. I don't know which sucks more, breathing in the drywall dust, or suffocating in the mask.

Which is the dog? 5DII? 7D? A lens?

Welcome to the 5k+ posts crowd ;) I just noticed I passed 11k. :o

Just ordered a few of the following. Should be reasonably low-power, and plenty for office work. I'll let you know how it does. MB - GIGABYTE GA-H55M-S2H CPU - INTEL CORE I3 530 2.93G 4M RAM - 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 SSD - 40G INTEL SSDSA2MP040G2R5 CASE - ANTEC NSK2480 DVD - LITE-ON | IHAS124-04

Got ya covered, paugie ;)

We don't have many people here with Mac experience, unfortunately. But stick around, I may be wrong. And welcome!

Today was 50/1.4 appreciation day. In testing conditions, it really is (18M)pixel-sharp. In the field, maybe half that - still better than anything else I have. Also took some pictures of fireworks on the 4th that I like. Both on my Flickr if you are interested.

For most of the tests, it will help to have the drive connected to an on-board SATA port.

High 60's to low 70's here (19-22C)

None of my new motherboards even have PCI anymore, so I would aim for PCIe just to futureproof a bit.

I agree that the Intel cards are great.

All 3 of my home systems and support hardware (including 14TB of storage) combined are currently drawing 210W. It is very easy and relatively inexpensive to build a fast and energy efficient workstation.

When I've traveled for business, I've taken her with me. She isn't the clingy type, but I would love to "man up"...and she is out of town ;)

Ugh. This is the first night my wife and I have spent apart since we started dating nearly 5 years ago. Sucks.

That is very cool. I'm off for the weekend, back on the night of the 5th!

;)

Hey, you paid your taxes, may as well get some of it back ;)

Every new PC I've gotten in the past month+ has included the trial pre-installed. That will cover most people.

The problem would be the exchange system.

Do you use them for photography somehow?

Ours is wide-open; I even sent out links to the Google Apps help page about connecting their devices. I understand that corporate paranoia is out there, but I feel it hurts more than helps.

The only lightscribe software I've used was with the software that came with the drive. This was when it first came out 5+ years ago, and it wasn't anything special.

That does indeed suck. I'm afraid I don't know of anything within several states of TN.

The well rounding should be done at home. But we can't trust people to raise their own children anymore. Because those smart enough to do it properly are smart enough to not want any.

That is the direction I was thinking. My wife wants a pool, putting a heat exchanger at the bottom of that would be effective.

Fireworks here are only legal from the 3rd to the 5th. The cops (at the firefighters urging) are pretty stringent about it, too.

I agree, any technique that sends that heat from in the insulated envelope to the outside in an uncontrolled fashion is a leak. At the same time, even if it is only 6W per LED, that would be 72W for the 12 in the bedroom and 288W for the 48 in the great room. Being able to selectively include...

That is a low assumption. Books are a considerable cost.

Thanks for the info JTR, I'll evaluate the mast/sail idea; better than having a hole in the insulation. One of the stranger ideas I'm playing with for the whole house is using water to collect the heat from various sources and direct it either into or out of the house via two radiators and a...

What temperature should I be keeping these LEDs at? Perhaps a "mast" of copper or aluminum to a "sail" above the insulation?

Sounds very interesting. Now another question. The ceiling will have significant amounts of insulation. I know LEDs need to be kept cool. If there were two feet of insulation directly on top of the fixture, and I only wanted the emitter exposed below, how would I cool it? First thought is a...

Looks like a no then, not even my GA-X58-UD9 has 1394b (just a)

I had thought of installing a large-ish transformer, and having a low-voltage DC run for general lighting. I knew 12v would have too much drop-off, but I hadn't considered 48v (I was thinking 24v). The question is, is it possible to run normal-ish wiring while accomplishing this task? If I...

Very awesome Chewy! Not only the school, but already having a gig lined up for when you finish? How cool is that?

Awesome. Good find.
