^ Thats for cooling me, not the PC itself, which works perfectly:lol:

Otherwise the two ceiling fans are not directly overhead enough to subvert the 34degree ambient temperature:ouch:
 
I just thought you were using it to cool your computer. I just seen it done before in real life on a PC that was not maintained properly. Thankfully the guy took my advice when I gave him the last of my thermal paste(makes a contact between CPU and heatsink).

Though I can see why you need that fan. Thankfully NY only gets those temperatures in the heat of summer.

Canon EOS 60D body, as my 20D is a bit long in the tooth now...

... not sure whether to run it in a Santa Pod with some drag racing action, or Donington for some FIA Truck Racing?
 
Two tickets for the Donington Historic Festival next saturday.

Can't wait to see those beasts, hopefully that Porsche 917 will turn up too but looking through the provisional entry list I didn't see it listed.
 
My dad already got this like 2 weeks ago, and well... I kinda "stole" it from him and made it (sorta) mine. :P

Return it soon as possible, it's a fault with the shutter/mirror and happens a fair amount with Canon's. We've had 2 5D MkII's, 1 5D and 4 1000D's all display Err 20.

Thanks, I've just been Googling it... My 20D was pretty much bullet proof, and I put it through quite a bit... I have the 60D for 1 day and it develops a mechanical fault...

I suspected it was something to do with moisture as the morning dew soaked through the base of the tent and got my camera bag (amongst other things)... there was noticeable moisture on the lenses and also on the base of the body. I'm really ***** off about it.

Edit:

:D

.. and no, I shouldn't have been standing there, but until I get stopped and asked for my press pass, Ima gonna keep on walkin' ! :D


What I have learned from this, is that buying a newer, better camera, doesn't make your pics that much better! ;)

How many tools do you own now?

Only tools I have is a travel ratchet set and toolbox, both of which I got from my days at trade school.

I'll be waiting for the pics (the pseudoShelby is pretty cool), but damn, what happened with your camera really sucks.

Just the ones I bought before and a few others I never mentioned. This one, and some Stahlwille sockets for my Zyklops.


EDIT: Uh oh, I've done it again...

GRAN TURISMO Sponsorship on The Silverline car.....?

Ah, some nice pics in there, some would have been way better if the car wasn't cut in half, but oh well. I really like that green Cuda, and the GT500 looks beastly... and that half-carbon Supra looks insane! Same for the all-black VW Bug. Times for those?
 
Got a few things today.

The Girl who did stuff (all three films can't remember the names of them all)
The Tourist (the missus bought it)
Tremors

All above on BD

And Portal PS3 version with code for Mac/PC
 
Toronado
Tremors is on Blu Ray now?

Yep indeed, apparently the transfer is a nice upgrade over a very lacklustre DVD version. My DVD version is a small image with black Borders top, bottom and both sides. I have high hopes for the bluray version.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest

Amazing books. I've only read the first two but couldn't put them down. I've only seen the first film but really liked that it was in Swedish with subtitles.
 
I've heard they're great..can't really stand to read these days tho - not enough time to get into something! I'll grab copies of the movies, tho!
 
took the family to legoland, star wars display was awesome. The sand masters were there as well. There was an admiral Akbar keychain but I couldn't leave boba fett behind.
