Rebooting , re-plumbing - tsk tsk

Take care of yourself while they decide what to do . Once the decision is made here's hoping they get on with it so life gets back to normal





darn auto-correct is driving me mad today

Just finished a salad with a piece of Steak and a glass of red

It's a bit cooler today thankfully - I was melting when I got back from Edinburgh yesterday

I'll agree there - I have to pay for Trak

As to worries about security all Lenstag want is a password and an e-mail address and who says you can't set up an email address just for that one Site ?

I remember how bitterly I complained when diesel went up to 27p a gallon !!

oh now come on John - let's be reasonable

Most of us have insurance for our gear

I'm covered by my household insurance - and I've checked it very carefully. I know what the limit is for each article , I know what precautions I have to take if it's out of the house . I know what precautions I must take if I'm away on holiday.

I also have some stuff covered with iTrak - like camera body and laptop - those sticky labels are exceptionally difficult to remove - makes a wonderful visual deterrent .

All these Sites are doing is trying to help prevent the opportunist thief make a fast buck immediately selling your stuff on Gumtree or e-bay.

The Police in some areas are offering Smart Water marking - again it's a deterrent but would be very useful identifying stolen stuff. Are we to regard the website for that as as open for hacking ?

There are so many Sites now offering some form of registry for gear that it would be hard to hack them all

Was sent this this morning - and it could be very useful

And the explanation as to how it works

As most of us do , I presume , register bodies and lenses with the manufacturers , I expect that they would confirm our ownership of the articles we wish to register.

Yes it's still not 100% security , but anything which can possibly slow down the low life tea leaf selling it on is a GOOD thing

Dunno about beer - I'm drinking a little whisky at the moment.

Has an e-mail from a friend which frightened the wits out of me - he said he was writing to me and the last sentence of that was 'Please don't hate me "

OK English is not his first language and I then waited and waited and waited - for over an hour for the aforesaid e-mail .

Dear heavens - the thoughts that were going through my mind

Eventually it arrived and I heaved a sigh of relief as I read it - and then told him off soundly for frightening me like that .

My drink was / is needed

PHEW

I've never used it either - I started with iPhoto with the K-x shooting in jpeg - then moved to shooting in RAW and switched to Aperture. Since getting the K-30 I've used nothing but Aperture.

Enjoy it HG - I certainly would

Poor cat - can you get one of those very clever thingies to go onto a collar so it will let him and no other , come back in ?
