Am I the only one that's noticed it's Friday 13th.

I've been watching you and in my line of work we're trained to spot the suspicious.

Turns out she is a social worker
Funny how they can spot a 'perv' at 100 paces but not the abused child holding a parents hand infront of them.

These sort of people get my back up.

On a lighter note, it's my weekend off, we're having a curry delivered and back off topis I'm just going to open a bottle of Thwaites Lakeland bitter...

...ah bliss!

Well, the presentation went well, both laptops behaving themselves.

To get back off topic, has anybody seen Two Greedy Italians on BBC2?

Pure pleasure, give it a go(on iplayer)

Nice to here the cat's OK.

Talking of hoarding, I've just spent the last hour installing Powerpoint on 2, yes2, old laptops.

Why?

So my better half can do a presentation at work tomorrow using the screens to display a slide show. They don't have a projector before any body suggests it.

To make life interesting, one system is running WinXP, the other '7!

So if the weather looks dire you'll cancel the meet on this thread the day(or 2) before?

I hope the strange bit isn't pointed at me, even if it is true!!

Catch in focus is an easy way to get a feel for this lens. Just slowly focus through the subject and a shot will be taken, I think th manual covers how to set up and use CIF.

As for the lens, the image quality is...CLICKY LINK.

and that's wide open with netural light.

Tonight we're off to a fancy dress party.

Er, I think I could be going as Indiana Jones, I have the shirt, hat and trousers...

... but not the looks!

Agree with the recycling views.

The cheap digicam can be hacked IIRC. I've seen sites showing how to do it, and for a camera with 1.3 meg resolution it's worth playing with.

There was one site that showed how to use one for a web cam!!

Sorry, can't remember any addresses. I was looking a good while ago now and have lost all details.
