 Love it!
 
 Do they have wi-fi in their subways!
 

we have free wi-fi on the tube at the moment, although I think they'll be
charging after the pilot period. It's very useful during the summer to be
able to moan to people about the lack of air conditioning on the tube.

I've also learned, since having my no-cycling ankle problem which is now
more or less done with, that we have interactive bus timetables. When I'm
heading to my bus stop in the morning I can text its number and it will tell
me when the next 10 or so buses are due. The most amazing thing is, it's
very accurate. A real benefit.

Ive also heard that the next iPhone will be able to drink coffee, so you can
just leave in Starbucks drinking coffee and talking to your friends' iPhones
while you go out and have a life.

PESO Rod Spanner stained glass

2012-10-19 Thread Larry Colen
I won't bore you with the whole story, but the house I lived in the last two 
years of college got named The Rod  Spanner, and I even drew up a coat of 
arms for it.  I decided that I really liked that design, and about 8 years ago 
when we needed team shirts for the 25 hour enduro, I had it silkscreened on 
some T-shirts.  Zab commissioned a friend to make me the crest in stained glass.

I wasn't initially planning on photographing her along with the stained glass, 
and adjusting the lighting proved to be much more difficult than if I had just 
started over knowing what I wanted to do.   Despite a plethora of 
mistakes^H^H^H^H^H^H^H lessons learned, I did get a few decent photos.

Good ol' Perl, the write-only language.

FWIW my next project will probably be a new web photo gallery system.  My old 
one is unworkable now and it's going to be quicker to write my own than to look

Re: OT: Proper rabbit you numpties, innit!

2012-10-19 Thread Peter Jordan
Numpty is very much used in Scotland, Yer big numpty is an often heard term 
of gentle abuse.

Chav is very much used, especially for Essex Boys and Girls (who are an 
archetype, not necessarily inhabitants of Essex). Burberry baseball caps form 
part of the uniform.

I was looked at within stares of bemusement recently when, in a meeting in 
Houston, I referred to something as daft, a term I use a lot. but clearly one 
that has not yet reached Texas.

My gdgphoto.com website is next best thing to abandoned ... I'm not
updating it anymore, haven't in some years now, and will let the
GoDaddy.com account expire next February after I shift the domain
names to another registrar.

What I think I'll do is just open an account on SmugMug or similar,
and then tweak their gallery stuff for presenting the photos, assign
my domain name to it. Not as much control, but it will be good enough
and they keep it up to date technically.

Re: PESO - Back Seat Driver

Thanks, everyone, for the comments.  It's always interesting to hear
what others bring to a photo.

What drew me to this photo was the white car, dark interior and the
black and white dog.  The little bit of color in the background seems
to echo the color in the dogs mouth and ears.  Although I must admit,
that was a coincidence.  I didn't notice it 'till I was looking
through the photos the next day.  The dogs attitude is a plus.
Overall I think it's a fun image and it was my pick from the day.

Going back and forth between the photo panels and a USA lower 48

doing the puzzle and will do well.

but PLEASE don't spill the beans to the whole group!!

I ain't gonna tell you where anything is _on list_  but there
is one of you who knows where one of the photos is cause it aint my 
photo, it is his.

 Good ol' Perl, the write-only language.

 FWIW my next project will probably be a new web photo gallery system.
 My old one is unworkable now and it's going to be quicker to write my own
 than to look through the plethora of gallery systems already out there while
 finding reasons to hate them all.

The state of web photo galleries is no better now than 10 years ago
when I wrote one (in PHP) for my bro-in-law for his photojournalist
and stock portfolio. (Were I to do it again I'd write it in Python.)

For ad-hoc or light duty use I'm actually pretty happy with what
Lightroom spits out. Dump it into DropBox and instant gallery--for
free. Not bad.

Re: OT: slit camera novel approach

2012-10-19 Thread David Parsons
The easiest way to explain it is to describe how the film version works.

The camera has a vertical slit the height of the frame.  The film
moves horizontally past the slit.  Anything that is not moving will
read as a streak, because from the film's perspective, it's always in
the same position as the film moves.

Anything that is moving is only recorded as it passes in front of the slit.

For racing, it's used to see who passes the finish line first.  The
first person to cross is clearly shown, and each successive person to
cross in front of the slit records farther to the side of the frame.

I don't know how the digital version works, maybe a strip sensor that
is sampled many times per second and composited in-camera.  I wonder
if it wouldn't be possible to do something like this for normal
cameras and smartphones.

It's really quite ingenious, and when you use it as an art tool, you
get some striking imagery.  The man and horses is my favorite of the
set.

I like that: hand tweak the clay then digitize and update the 3D
model. I've definitely felt that recent all-virtual designs fell short
of great hand-crafted designs of the past, and apparently I wasn't
alone in that.

Nice shot Paul. I suspect you're writing an article on the new MKZ, else 
you'd have had a problem getting the camera into the design center.

Re: PESO - Japanese girls go mobile

2012-10-19 Thread Joseph McAllister
With the money allocated for anti-terrorism after 9/11/01, one of the things 
that was set up in the 'big' cities was a method of tracking where each coach 
was, as a method of identifying say, a stolen bus, or one hijacked, or blown up 
(loss of signal). Transportation dispatchers looked at this and thought, we can 
see where drivers are stopping for coffee, having a go in the back with a doll 
(better when cameras came along in the middle 2000s) allowing them evidence for 
punishment of drivers, or the passengers who flogged them, physically and 
mentally. (We have a secret button to call the cops, and they know exactly 
where we are! )

Come forward a few years and shifty engineers who knew about this developed the 
systems to which you refer. They were put in major transfer stations in 2005, 
when I left in 2007 they were replacing bus and train stop kiosks with first 
CRTs behind unbreakable glass [when that was shown to not be true] by those red 
LED reader boards with voice that announce when the next XX bus will arrive, 
late of course, and to have your fare ready. It is a misdemeanor to avoid 
paying the fare. We drivers, of course, were told we could only remind a 
scofflaw once, then shut up and drive. Saved a few drivers a bloody nose, I'm 
sure.

So there you have it Bob. Transportation history from the inside. Wiki probably 
has a say on it, maybe different. If you've been in government, you know to ask 
for the maximum allocation of funds, and provide some reason for getting it. 
Surplus to some other agency or trash it before the next fiscal allocation year 
comes around.

 I've also learned, since having my no-cycling ankle problem which is now
 more or less done with, that we have interactive bus timetables. When I'm
 heading to my bus stop in the morning I can text its number and it will tell
 me when the next 10 or so buses are due. The most amazing thing is, it's
 very accurate. A real benefit.

Re: OT: slit camera novel approach

2012-10-19 Thread Joseph McAllister
Method used in many non-digital recce cameras going way back. Depending on 
speed, altitude, etc, BOTH the slit and the film move in a dance that realizes 
a long strip of exposed film. Sometimes the slit moves with but slower than the 
film, sometimes the slit may move opposite the direction of the film. Depends 
on the parameters mentioned above. 

Developed as a replacement for the cameras with vacuum platens that would hold 
the film, while the platen moved in the camera (opposite to the direction of 
flight) to allow sufficient light to expose the film while the ground was 
moving by under the plane. Then sweealthuk on to the next frame. Happened real 
fast. 

While serving, I learned (had to) the intricacies of the NCCS-4 system. (Navy 
Camera Control System - 4th gen). The pilot turned thumb wheels on the stick 
(jets man) to set the altitude, air speed, and another parameter I no longer 
can bring up. These inputs controlled a series of relays that chose voltages to 
send that set the rate of stepper motors in two boxes per camera station. Each 
box contained several of these stepper motors, connected to a lunch box sized 
train of stainless gears on shafts, which ultimately controlled the shutter 
speed, aperture, platen speed, or went platenless where the film just ran past 
the platen (focal plane) drawn by motors, also controlled by this system. Ain't 
analog wonderful? No, I don't have the schematics. Anymore.

Post K-17, pre KH-12. if you know what I mean.

 Good explanation.  I missed the idea that the film was moving and not

 The easiest way to explain it is to describe how the film version works.
 
 The camera has a vertical slit the height of the frame.  The film
 moves horizontally past the slit.  Anything that is not moving will
 read as a streak, because from the film's perspective, it's always in
 the same position as the film moves.
 
 Anything that is moving is only recorded as it passes in front of the slit.
 
 For racing, it's used to see who passes the finish line first.  The
 first person to cross is clearly shown, and each successive person to
 cross in front of the slit records farther to the side of the frame.
 
 I don't know how the digital version works, maybe a strip sensor that
 is sampled many times per second and composited in-camera.  I wonder
 if it wouldn't be possible to do something like this for normal
 cameras and smartphones.
 
 It's really quite ingenious, and when you use it as an art tool, you
 get some striking imagery.  The man and horses is my favorite of the
 set.
