I know I'll be safe but it's surprising how much frustration and anxiety it causes when you don't know how much sleep you'll get. I think it's exacerbated by the general lack of sleep, it's a bit of a vicious circle. sounds very difficult. [...] Sorry for the long-winded post :) keep it coming. It's fascinating.

Yes you're exactly right and it's something I'm very aware of. Not only the tight regulations but the lack of corruption means that buildings actually meet those regulations. It may be a pain having to boil all drinking water and water the garden to minimise the strain on sewers but I do have a roof over my head. I also have food, electricity, telephone, good roads etc. The list goes on and it could all have disappeared for weeks. As is the case with most things, timing is everything. I work in the CBD and if it had struck while I was out on my lunch break I could have ended up entombed. One of my friends is a structural engineer and has been working out there on reconstruction (pro bono). He has some terrible stories, but also frustration at how easy it could have been to limit the destruction. I hope they apply some better standards when rebuilding. The unfortunate thing about many places (Haiti especially) is that they're very poor and even if they wanted to implement better building standards they may not be able to afford to do so. But I'm sure that many of the techniques just require a little knowledge and don't add much cost.

When you peer at the back of a screen to see them you are not staring at the person, so they don't feel threatened by it and they don't become defensive. That's my theory. Credit me in your PhD.

MBOI lucky enablement and the benefits of a new OS
Hi gang I won't post the model number of the appliance in question here as mail archive will surely give away my advice to the whole world via Google but you can have it offlist if you care. I picked up in the bay, actually by mistake/on impulse, an esata/usb sata-II 4 disk soho raid box only to realize after the fact that it supported a total capacity of 2tb rather than 2 tb per disk. Must have been why it was so cheap, € 77.01 as opposed to € 769 new where still available. Obviously it is an older box. I ended up calling the manufacturer to find out if perhaps there was a firmware update to increase capacity handling and he asked about my OS. Turns out that when used with win7-64 via esata it will support 2 tb per disk after all so I am a happy camper. Will be a while until I can afford four 2 tb disks but I can always start out with 2 as it supports raid 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and 5+spare =) -- Cheers Ecke - Cameras don’t shoot people.

I've been driving on an elevated roadway not at all unlike the 880 that collapsed in Oakland in 1983 and just thought my car's power steering had gone weird during a 7.1 quake. The practically condemned structure is still in use 14 years later, braced up with steel supports.

RE: Phone snaps
When you point a viewfinderless camera at people they don't take as much notice of it as when you point a proper camera at them. Here's why. With a proper camera you are staring directly at the subject (albeit with a mirror in the way on reflex cameras) and this feels like an intrusion. When you peer at the back of a screen to see them you are not staring at the person, so they don't feel threatened by it and they don't become defensive. That's my theory. Credit me in your PhD.

Re: More quake photos
On Sep 8, 2010, at 5:16 AM, Joseph McAllister wrote: Every earthquake brings a different set of rules with it. It certainly does. The Richter magnitude doesn't really tell you much, it's just an estimate of the energy released by the quake. The amount of shaking depends a lot on the distance depth of the quake as well as the local structures underground, how wet the soil is etc etc. And obviously you'll feel it stronger in a tall building. A few years back I saw an article of a small town, I think it was in California, that was devastated by a relatively modest quake. The rock structures underground had effectively formed a lens that focussed the energy in that area. We just had a huge aftershock at 7:50am this morning. I was sure it was the 6 they'd been anticipating but it was apparently only 5.1. But the initial location estimate put it closer to the city and only 6km deep. I'll tell you now the shaking was MUCH stronger than the 5.4 ones we've had. If that had struck during the night I probably wouldn't have slept! As it happens, last night was the best sleep I've had, only woke up a couple of times. Had a bit of trouble getting back to sleep but nowhere near as bad as the previous night. I should really get to work. I've had my work PC dropped off at my house on Monday and the boss said in an email yesterday that he would appreciate normal hours and 100% effort. A comment that resulted in a bit of feedback from the sleep-deprived employees. I haven't even been able to visit any family members yet so being expected to work doesn't sit too well with me.

Re: More quake photos
I live in an area that was last hit by a serious quake in 1812 -- a series of three over the course of four months, estimated to be around 8.0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone). They've been saying we're overdue for about 50 years now ... not the most comforting thought, considering the area is not anywhere near as prepared -- building or infrastructure-wise -- as Christchurch appears to be. I've felt a couple of tremors in the past -- around the size of your aftershocks listed below. They're startling, but don't leave you with the sense of dread/terror that a 7+ quake will. I certainly don't look forward to the day when the big one finally happens. And, sadly enough, I'm in no way prepared for it. Hope things settle down for you folks, soon. I'm sure the psychological aftershocks will go on for a while after the geological ones finally fade. Just hang in there.

There was a 7.8 down in Fiordland last year but it's an unpopulated area and the nature of the quake meant the energy was released slowly and largely focussed offshore. The alpine fault is a bit further away from here and a quake centered there is likely to be a lot deeper so the shaking might not be much different from our 7.1, but it'd probably go on for a lot longer.

Re: Recommendations for online photo printing services?
If you are okay with glossy only (for some reason they will only print glossy in-store), Walgreens runs sales all the time. I hate their website though. Walmart is fine too, and prices are decent. Really any drugstore type places are going to be about the same quality. AFAIK, they pretty much all use Fuji minilabs and it's all mostly automated. The only real difference is how well the individual machines are maintained. Any place online, the shipping is going to obliterate any savings on low prices of prints. If they are just snaps, any local place should be fine, and they all pretty much have online uploads.

Re: More quake photos
It's amazing how little I have heard about all of this here. The pictures are amazing and horrifying.

They've been saying we're overdue for about 50 years now ... not the most comforting thought, considering the area is not anywhere near as prepared -- building or infrastructure-wise -- as Christchurch appears to be. We're about due for something in the 8+ region from the main alpine fault which cuts down through the length of the South Island. There was a 7.8 down in Fiordland last year but it's an unpopulated area and the nature of the quake meant the energy was released slowly and largely focussed offshore. The alpine fault is a bit further away from here and a quake centered there is likely to be a lot deeper so the shaking might not be much different from our 7.1, but it'd probably go on for a lot longer.

Re: Yee Haw! I just reached my . . .
Thanks, Walt. I went for the 20 minute pace today, but finished under 30 min. I think I lost time on the slight incline on my route :-).
