That’s great - I would have never thought to decorate with sharpies!

Comment on Retro Digital Photography - The ION-Mac 560 from Canon by CK Sandberg

I am a landscape photographer in Minnesota, and have been experimenting with an even older Canon analog electronic camera, the RC-250 XAPSHOT (Ion in Europe, Q-PIC in Japan) - it has a ½-inch 200K pixel CCD and takes a single NTSC frame for each shot. Only ISO 100, 11mm f/2.8 lens, shutter 1/30 to 1/500 second, records to mini-floppy disks. The XapShot was designed to send a NTSC signal to a TV/VCR for playback and recording of images, and there supposedly was a software utility that worked under System 6/7 for the Mac in conjuction with the Computer Eyes NuBus video capture card - haven’t located one. I play the images out to my DVR, dub to a DVD-R, move the disk to my MacPro, convert to a QT movie, and extract frames to edit in Photoshop. You can see some samples at http://www.landscapeimpact.com/images/blog.html (look in the May 2008 entries.)

Comment on Custom CSS Date Blocks in Blogspot, or Elsewhere by Vincent

My bad, I suppose I should have explained a little further:

Copy and paste the code to a text file, let’s say “customdate.js” and then include this along with a link to the JQuery code as follows, in the of the web page:

you will need to change the SRC parameter to reflect the correct file path and names.

Comment on Booting Your Apple Mac From CD, DVD, iPod or External Device by Vincent

Debbie,

What kind of Mac are we talking about? MacBook, PowerBook, iMac, PowerMac etc? I would assume that the machine is overheating and shutting down, although this shouldn’t necessarily stop you from booting, unless of course the CPU overheats exceedingly quickly.

Comment on Booting Your Apple Mac From CD, DVD, iPod or External Device by Debbie

Hi, I have tried this as my Mac suddenly seemed to want to sleep all of the time and it did actually boot up although it still keeps going to sleep. It also sounds like the fan is having to work really hard - could it be something as simple as a fan change or clean that could cause these problems as I have tried resetting the USM (?) but with no results and my friend talked me through trying to reset the Pram also as apparently that would help. No joy.
Any advice as I am just about to check the old fan again and hopefully that will be it……

Comment on Sending Large or Multiple Files Via Email or Other Means by Vincro

Laird, I did, that was my complaint. If we were talking about a 1GB torrent file, I wouldn;t have minded. You hardly need such files sent by email. My beef was the fact that I had to download a 33kb file, followed by a 5MB file and installation, to find out He sent me a 3MB file, and to have a piece of software installed on my computer that (a) i never use, and (b) may or may not have installed, other unrelated junk on my computer.

Anyhow, half the-point to the article is that there are other ways and means that are easier, more free-flowing and make more sense in a small-attached-archive-to-email kind of way.

Thanks for the comment!

The 33 KB file that you refer to wasn’t a compressed version of the file being sent to you, it’s a tiny meta-file (like a .torrent file) that lets the Pando software retrieve the actual file, which would have been much larger (e.g. 1 GB).

Perhaps you should try installing Pando to see what your friend sent you, before complaining about it! :-)
