Well spank my ass and call me Sally but F3 has gotten lot of attention from my sweaty hands lately. Just stock cars with only race brakes to help me twist the back end to the corner (gamepad understeer) and hours just pass by online in T10 enduro server and offline in Nordshcsshlfhlsdlhhlfleife.

Drop me an invite if you catch me online.

Good times.

New issue was pretty cool.

That is all.

What? 2007 sensor tech vs. 2010/2011 sensor tech?

Quote from Becky Rose :

I believe the correct marketting time is that their brands had a "wide coverage".

Welcome to the PR executive board ms. Rose.

And modern music is comparable to neurotoxins.

Tried to do some artsy stuff on Sunday.

"Hi boss. BTW I ruined your £750,000 race car and got us an official warning from the stewards, but the good news is I'M ALIVE!"

At least their car and sponsors got lot of screen time.

Too bad the car and sponsors were spread a bit thin over an area the size of a soccer field after the slight handling mishap.

Promo work for a Finnish opera singer from summer 2010. Details at my Flickr if anyone's interested.



Argh, wait did I post this already? Can't remember anything anymore and my current 2G network makes browsing a PITA.

Done with the nature crap.

Accurate representation.

Lol'd hard at cell phone makers, Nokia 1100 and France - Best friends (=Germany).

From last Sunday walk.

Some live music from last Wednesday.

I would eat lots of cheese and go crazy with escort girls.

Edit: Oh there was a poll.

Fincher is da man but in Finland the movie's out some time in 2034 ffs.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

That's definitely true. That said, it's not like people haven't been taking great photos using all of those brands' equipment from the get-go.

That is indeed true. Same as pretty much every DSLR made within the decade will give you an identical result when shooting in optimal conditions.

So it's a question of ambitions with lenses down the road and fondling the camera bodies in the store like they were your step sister's boobs and go with the one that feels the best.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

The two are very similarly spec'd and have the same sensor (or so it's rumored). I like Pentax's ergonomics a lot better than Nikon's (I use a K-7 and a D700), and their Limited primes are among the best glass money can buy. If the K-5 fixes some of their nagging problems (AF speed, fps, etc), it'll be a real winner and a real contender for the D7000.

Thing is, Nikon systems are pretty much done, balanced and ready to go from the start with a proven track record. Pentax, Sony and even Canon have a lot of, more or less critical, ifs with their systems whenever they release a new system. 'If they fix the AF, if they fix the high ISO, if they up the FPS, if they fix the long mirror blackout, if they fix the etc.'.

But here's some iffy Autumn junk.

Cool. Nikon Pro User repair turnaround in 72 hours. Replaced the electronics, replaced all rubber grips, buttons, shutter release, multi-selector, wheels and upgraded the firmware for no charge. And the body was nearly two years old. Excellent service.

Hopefully the put some pro skillz in there too my pics won't suck as much.

Waiting for a new patch was not wasted time as this gem turned up here.

I use Spaces mostly to divy up my mind. IM apps on 1 "screen".. my movie for the day on another... Heck, right now I'm looking at 2 laptops, 3 screens. It's wicked

Meh, everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose. Whatever works for you, however I must bring up the point that you'd also prefer to drink vodka and sauna.. which slightly hinders your opinions validity

Slander!

Just tonight I hit the Jäger bottle at work and no sauna in sight.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

It's hilarious, because on big screens I hate windows 7. Maximizing every window is not an efficient use of space. Trying to do the OSX way of tiling and stacking windows on each other just doesn't work either. It's kind of a pain in the ass.

Regards to IE9: As a web developer, it gives hope that Microsoft can produce a decent browser.

Ah but here's the thing. I love the simple, quick and robust 'throw window on left, throw window on right' and now I have two big and full views of, for instance Lightroom and Photoshop and I don't have to alt-tab constantly between them or Expose my way around stupid amount of windows.

And Spaces is a waste of space. I have screen estate enough for full UI views of two applications.

Quote from der butz :

W7 is as unusable as every other bloody microsoft OS...

Lol wut? I enjoy using W7 much more than poking my way around Snow Leopard our office uses. The Win7 window management is lovely with big screens.

Bad karma keeps following me around as my D700's shutter died last night during a gig. Nearly 100k actuations on it so somewhat a premature failure. Two years of heavy use so it needed a checkup and sensor cleaning anyway. Now waiting for the invoice how much it'll cost for Nikon Pro User member.
