I realized that I don’t actually have a photo of myself on this site. This image was taken with my Canon G3.
This picture is of the second longest covered bridge in North America. It was taken 1 July 2004 in Waltham, Quebec with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel. Bikers seem to have a thing for covered bridges, myself included.
You might be able to tell from these images that I have a thing for motorcycling. My current ride is a 2004 Harley Davidson Road King.
I went to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum a couple of weeks ago and took this photo of the SR-71. The photo was shot with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel at ISO 1600, f3.5, 1/50s , no flash, with a Sigma lens.
I’m continually impressed with the quality of the images from this camera. Now that I’ve moved my website to a host with better bandwidth, I will probably start posting more images to my site.
If you would like the full size photo, send me an e-mail.
I recently failed to acquire a 3-seat license for NAV using their DigitalRiver download system because of what appears to be a coding problem. When you download the setup program after purchase, you are actually getting a Download Manager, which then retrieves the product from the server. Well, the setup program wouldn’t connect on any of my machines. I even tried both home and office networks, in case there were significant differences in the firewalls.
To see what was going on, I set up an HTTP proxy server and ran the setup program in proxy mode. After checking the logs, I realized that the URL it was trying to download was
http://localhost/Nxxxxxx.exe
Obviously, the request to “localhost” was going to fail. After over an hour with their tech support people, I finally gave up and got a refund.
As I sit and rethink my e-mail setup, it occurred to me that IMAP for GMail is a no brainer. I’ve been playing around with a couple of accounts on GMail and the POP3 isn’t really sufficient, especially since GMail expects that you would keep all of your e-mail on their servers forever. For that scenario, IMAP makes perfect sense.
So here’s my request to Google — add IMAP.
