RE: Lightroom question (Godfrey?)
I've just tested it from the command line (therefore using % instead of %%) and it works. It only finds files in the current directory, although it can easily be changed to search other directories.

I don't think Dunelts of that period were made in China (presumably you mean the same China that makes a lot of cameras for Pentax).

RE: Another Bicycle Shot --PESO
I'm not convinced that bike is right for anything. it's a roadster. It's meant for pottering about town and for short journeys doing bits of shopping while you wear normal clothes on a day-to-day basis. It's the single most popular and important style of bicycle, perhaps even of transport, in the world. Despite its humble utilitarian ordinariness this type of bike can usually go more or less anywhere, and do more or less anything. For all that we in the West spend zillions of pounds on fancy bikes to cycle around the world on, the people in places like Africa, India and the Far East are dealing with the same difficult terrain day in, day out, year after year on this type of roadster.

PESO: Endangered History
A sad pic, shot on a gloomy day. This is a farmhouse located about a mile from my house. It was built in 1832, although some additions are more recent. Ever since I lived here, it sat on 27 wooded acres. The property was recently sold to a developer, and the area directly adjacent to the house has been clear cut and bulldozed. I'm sure the developer will leave the rest of the trees because he plans on building 10 houses that will be priced at a couple million each. But unless someone pays to move the farmhouse, he's going to tear it down. The only shot I could really get was this tight crop. Worked on it for quite a while. Don't think it succeeds all that well as a photo, but at least it records part of the building. By the way, the family that built it still owned it when it was sold. I guess they're entitled to cash in, but it's still sad.

Re: PESO: Endangered History
I think the angle and crop you have here is very good Paul. It shows what looks like the main part very well. I hear what you are saying about old houses. We have similar problems in this area. Our surrounding towns seem to hold these historic buildings in high value and do everything they can to keep them. Some have been turned into small schools or professional offices, many others are sold for $1.00 and moved to a special area that has been set aside for these houses. Buy the lot, move it, fix it, and you have one hell of a nice street. Here, in Stouffville, they just look at it as an old house and pretty much let developer have their way. Not allowed to cut trees, well cut them anyway and pay the fine. I hear my old farm house we lived in is now going to be saved. I hope i had something to do with that, with my letters and news paper letters. Now if the kids don't burn it down...

Re: Another Bicycle Shot --PESO
Well when you collect old bicycles you get old bicycles. But if you are a teenager you still get real upset at anything that suggest the world existed before you were born. Anyway this one has a 1974 registration sticker on it so it is at least that old. And interesting thing is it is obviously better built than the older (circa 1960) more expensive Raleigh I have bits and pieces of. The Raleigh has rough edges on the parts, crudely done brazes, ugly chrome, etc. Except for the 70'ish decals this bike is very little different in fit and finish from the one I had as a kid. I guess the 60's must have been a bad time for Raleigh. I do not even know if the '53-'54 version I had was made by Raleigh, but I am sure this one was. And, yep, Bob, made in Nottingham England. On the other hand my Italian Bianchi bicycle says Made in China right on the frame. However, Bob, that kid rides a BMX, so you can be sure he knows everything there is to know about bicycles. Graywolf (Tom Rittenhouse) Website: http://www.graywolfphoto.com Blog:http://www.graywolfphoto.com/journal/ --- Bob W wrote: I don't think Dunelts of that period were made in China (presumably you mean the same China that makes a lot of cameras for Pentax). Dunelt were part of Raleigh at that time and the bikes were made in England or in the local market, so that one could have been made in the USA. Graywolf may be able to let us know. People decide their own priorities about what to spend their money on. Just because someone wants to spend a lot of money on a camera it doesn't mean they should also spend a lot on other things. I know people who have custom-built bicycles that cost more than a car, but who wouldn't spend more than a couple of hundred dollars on a camera. I also know people who've cycled round the world (some more than once), and now use beat-up old delivery bikes that they rescued from the tip. Having an expensive bike means nothing; having an expensive camera means nothing. What matters is to have the right bike, or the right camera. That Dunelt looks like a damn good bike, and one that I'd be proud to own. It will probably outlive you; hopefully. If you do outlive the bike perhaps you'll pick up some knowledge, wisdom and humility on the way. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Polyhead Sent: 01 January 2008 08:46 To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: Another Bicycle Shot --PESO Would be a great shot if that made in china hunk of crap bike wasn't in the way. . really.. people.. you'll drop a grand in a camera but won't drop $500 for a decent rig?

Re: Lightroom question (Godfrey?)
It would be possible to check for byte by byte comparisons, by using FC a dos utility available on all windows systems to delete duplicate files no matter what their name, I'm sure that linux/unix has such a utility but I can't remember it's name right now. There are several problems to overcome, none of which will solve the most important one. There must be a way for the computer to recognize a duplicate image, not a duplicate file. It's easy enough to write something that will delete files with the same name in the same or different directories. A bit more complicated to recognize and delete duplicate files with different names, (and this begins to become time consuming), but I know of no foolproof method to automate deletion of duplicate visual images, at least not with the computing power available in a PC or Mac. Bob W wrote: I've just tested it from the command line (therefore using % instead of %%) and it works. It only finds files in the current directory, although it can easily be changed to search other directories. If there are no .jpg files, or no matching .dng files then it won't do anything.

Re: The last hamburger...
The taxes involved were a form of economic coercion. And thats different from today in what way? Lets see, you get a tax break for buying a house, ( but only on credit, not with cash), you get a tax break for being married, (and having children). You get taxed more if you use alcohol, or smoke tobacco. The tax system is used to punish for improper behavior, or in some cases proper behavior. Federal income taxes are so complicated that you need an expert to even find out what some of the tax breaks and pitfalls are, and even then the contradictory parts can bring you to grief. Nothing coercive about our current tax system. What torques me more than anything else is we vote for the a**h***s. graywolf wrote: It's all those foreigners who have moved here GRIN. What works when the taxors are more then a month away does not work so good when they are just next door(Revolution v. Civil War). In neither case was it the amount of the taxes, it was the unfairness of taxes. The taxes involved were a form of economic coercion.

Re: Endangered History
Thanks Christine. Yes, 1832 is old for Michigan, particularly old for the far boonies of Detroit. And it's really old for Chicago (which is quite a bit younger than Detroit). Not old for the east coast. In my previous home town, Matawan, New Jersey, the oldest house was built in 1687. And of course these would all be youngsters in many parts of Europe.

And interesting thing is it is obviously better built than the older (circa 1960) more expensive Raleigh I have bits and pieces of. The Raleigh has rough edges on the parts, crudely done brazes, ugly chrome, etc. Except for the 70'ish decals this bike is very little different in fit and finish from the one I had as a kid. I guess the 60's must have been a bad time for Raleigh. I do not even know if the '53-'54 version I had was made by Raleigh, but I am sure this one was. And, yep, Bob, made in Nottingham England. Thats not suprising, most bikes from that era were pretty horrible. Most were electro forged construction. nasty stuff. On the other hand my Italian Bianchi bicycle says Made in China right on the frame. Yea, most of their stuff is these days. Its why we call the pista the pistashit. Made in taiwan I'll ride, made in china, no fucking way. However, Bob, that kid rides a BMX, so you can be sure he knows everything there is to know about bicycles. I ride everything. FYI. my kids bike is made in america. Hand cut tripple butted tubing, hand welded together in purpose built jig. Bare frame is about $400. One of the lightest cromo frames on the market. Infact, at this point, cromo is lighter than aluminum. The hubs, also made in america, riding on japanese built ceramic bearings. Bars, made in america, seat post, made in america.

People decide their own priorities about what to spend their money on. Just because someone wants to spend a lot of money on a camera it doesn't mean they should also spend a lot on other things. I know people who have custom-built bicycles that cost more than a car, but who wouldn't spend more than a couple of hundred dollars on a camera. I also know people who've cycled round the world (some more than once), and now use beat-up old delivery bikes that they rescued from the tip. Having an expensive bike means nothing; having an expensive camera means nothing. What matters is to have the right bike, or the right camera. That Dunelt looks like a damn good bike, and one that I'd be proud to own. It will probably outlive you; hopefully.
