Re: OT: Now Mozilla is getting on my nerves.
My Safari horror story is simple: it's an unbelievable memory hog. Left alone it quickly eats up all the available memory on a Mac OS X system, any version. Besides that it used to be my favourite browser client. I like its bookmarks handling (very much like an outliner app; I organize my personal info library around browser bookmarks). It's standards compliant, fast, pretty robust. Chrome's bookmark handling is like Firefox's: useless. Besides that it's light on memory, standards compliant, fast, and robust.

Akira I had planned a visit to the Adler Planetarium Friday--the same day as the Blackhawks parade. We took the Brown line into downtown to catch the 146 bus to the Museum Campus on the lakefront. We waited and waited for the bus, but it never showed, so we decided to hoof-it and caught some snaps along the way. It's a bit of a trek from State and Van Buren to Roosevelt road and the lakefront--especially navigating through large crowds and a strong summer sun. Then while walking along a curb, the wheel of a street cleaning truck caught a can of some sugary drink and splashed both Akira and me. I was ready to throw in the towel right then and there, but we braved on, laughed it off, and finally made it to the Adler Planetarium. It was a lovely outing with my littlest nephew, who will turn 13 next Sunday. He is so clearly not a little boy anymore. He's one inch taller than me!!! These are just random snaps. The truth is Akira and I gabbed and giggled all day making photography a bit of an after thought, but I got 12 decent shots and I thought I'd share. Not sure which one will be my PAW this week--maybe I'll go out and shoot tomorrow for something different.

I've lost track of the various UIs that I've learned, and forgotten over the years: fvwm, twm, probably several gnome, a few kde, and several generations of OSX. They all have a point and drool interface on top, on which I can open various terminals running bash, for doing real work. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - Escape
Beautiful shot, Paul! I wonder how egrets and herons get along without chiropractors, with their necks in that awful position?

This is several frames earlier than the other shot, and the light is completely different, due in part to the position of the wings, but the camera angle as well. I decided to present it full frame, as I like the environment. (The previous shot was cropped to about 50% of the frame.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17445899size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - Blue Dusk
Thanks Rick. Actually it's a tern (check the tail) which is a close relative to the gull family. But you're right it (and the people) make the photo. Thanks to all who commented and looked.
