There was another hoar frost this morning (which doesn't happen that often here) and we were back at the stables. Comments welcome....

week off starts here......though I have a *lot* to do, I intend to sleep lots and have a big disk array to build before I do much else, mainly because today I really did lose another disk. "Corrupted or unreadable" on a disk I was going to move / copy tomorrow is not good.
Fixed with a chkdsk /f, so it's OK for the moment - but there are several file fragments.

the JPGs for me enable a quick flick through the haul, nothing more. They are simply index files....

I'd try Ubuntu or Xubuntu before XP and 7 after that. 1GB is not enough for Vista and Vista is slow compared to both 7 and XP.

... large files are also faster than smaller ones. I've been moving a lot of files recently and large ISOs are really quick, whereas 2MB files are not.

read the shirt reviews on Amazon and weep

Well, we have full moon at 20:10 on the 18th, so I will just have to hope for clear skies...

no, it's a "31.5GB" in real life card, like everything else.

man, I'm glad I only have a 2WD wee Audi

Found its potential brother, too; same colour, similar spec but a TDI and with another 50'km on the clock. €6k for an eight year old car...which means mine's worth around €7k or so, which is pretty stunning for a car which hits ten years old next January.

Let's see if we need it.

tried 30s last night off the balcony - way too much light pollution. I'll see if we get up to the summer house at easter, as there's *nothing* there, and I get 230V. I'll probably try several sets of shots, maybe one couple of hours one with the K5 and a set of stackers with the K10D. The dark frames should be easy.
