It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm trying to install software on the Vista box, and it's not looking good for the RAW. Installing the Nikon codec (so Windows gallery can handle them) crashed the box, and the software that shipped with the camera won't install either. Picasa won't import them.

I'd just about resigned myself to Vista, but I can't believe it's breaking my balls over this.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Turn Your Canon Point-and-Shoot into a Super-Camera: [link]

It looks a little complicated to get it running, but I have a Canon model that will run this. I may have to attempt it.

Telnetting into TiVos, playing chequers on cameras--will wonders ever cease?

Our wings are not tired

I want to telnet into Tivo from my camera. I'm greedy like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want to telnet into Tivo from my camera. I'm greedy like that.

I want my Roomba to telnet into my TiVo from my camera.

We've come a long way, baby.

I have a co-worker who, upon seeing my *128 MB* thumb drive (hey, I bought it 5 years ago!) was ASTONISHED. You would have thought that I had showed him the tiny people in the TV or something. Actual comment:

"That's, like....60 times bigger than a floppy disk! ...But why would you ever need that much storage? Everything *I* need fits on a floppy!"

This is the same person who pronounced the Mac Mini "unusable" because it doesn't have a floppy drive. When I pointed out that none of the Power Mac towers have floppy drives, either, he said, "How does Apple not go under if they're making products that don't have drives that people need?!?"

He's a little behind the times. We haven't told him about The Internets yet.
