Re: OT: Another XP doomsday thread ... and other stuff.

[Paul]

Residual voltages will do strange things sometimes and completely 
unplugging everything and letting it sit can sometimes solve the problem.


At the outset of a printing project that was time sensitive my printer 
insisted on going through a complete cleaning cycle before every print. 
 Cost me a full set ($100+) of ink cartridges.  I tried the usual 
"unplug for 30-60 seconds" and nothing changed.  The printer service 
center told me it was a motherboard problem and I might as well buy a 
new printer as the cost for the replacement motherboard was about the 
same.  Finally unplugged it and left it for the better part of the day 
before I plugged it back in.  That's about 10 months ago...so far so good.

The only things plugged in to the UPS were the System Unit & wall wart

Since doing that, I've had no further problems with random shutdowns.

I changed the low battery & critical battery from "sleep" to "shut down".

I was in the middle of checking other settings when it suddenly gave me
a blank desktop, then "Logging Off" and the system shuts off.

I powered it back up and checked the UPS Monitor. It showed AC power
within range (118VAC - 120VAC), battery charge 100% and the system using
2% of the available power from the UPS. The power management battery
icon showed 100% battery.

It stayed up for less than 5 minutes & did it to me again. I think it's

Thanks. 

That tells me the problem is here in NC. Time Warner doesn't seem to have a 
network status page that I can find, but a couple of third party network 
problem maps are showing outages in Raleigh & Charlotte.

It also seems to be intermittent with the server coming up occasionally.

Thoughts on the K-5II

[P.J. Alling]

Well, I've been playing with the K-5II for about three weeks now, mostly 
familiarizing myself with the control interface.  I keep starting to 
write a long post about it but a.) it's boring and b.) the K-5II is old 
news.


So I'll keep this short and sweet.

Pentax auto focus is finally worthy of the name.

Holly Crap!  I can take acceptable shots at Crazy high ISOs the damned 
thing can see in the dark.


I like the locking mode dial, unlike the K20D I know the mode it was in 
when I bagged it will still be set next time I put it to my eye.


I still think it needs a dedicated switch to turn SR on and off, but the 
quick menu using the info button is a pretty good solution.


About some of the info screen quick options, if you shoot raw about 1/4 
of them are useless, how about the ability to program those fictions to 
something useful when shooting raw?


Programming the AF button, ON or OFF???  even the K20D gave more options 
than that.


The OK button does way to many things.

%*^$*$, I keep hitting the exposure compensation button when I want to 
hit the green button and the green button when I want exposure 
compensation.  I see no particular reason for this change except the 
exposure compensation button is now where certain Nikon models put it.


Consistency what consistency, why does the exposure compensation button 
toggle that mode off and on, while the ISO button have to held down when 
changing ISO.  Is it so hard to hold the compensation button down?


Really those are niggles, but annoying niggles.

Now I need a split image range finder screen for my manual focus lenses, 
and to decide on a couple of spare batteries, because they take a long 
time to charge.


In short the camera turns out high quality image files and feels like 
quality equipment in the hand.  I haven't been this happy with a camera 
since I picked up my first LX.

Re: gmail Spam and the PDML

So, in gmail, select a PDML message, pick “filter messages like this”
and one of the filter options is “never send to spam”.  Works like a
charm.

(on-list since the general answer could be helpful to others) 

how to filter your email into different folders, or mailboxes, depends on your 
provider and what you use to read your email; your specific provider may have 
filters that can be applied at the server side, which is the only way to do it 
for webmail and for most smartphone or tablet apps; to set up such filters 
you'll need to find your provider's help files, or just take a stab at finding 
the tools in the web interface 

if you read email via a desktop app, server-side filters work well for IMAP, 
but less so for POP; most desktop apps also have their own filtering tools, but 
the instructions depend on the app 

in most cases the word "filter" is used, so you can hunt for that in the 
interface or use that word in a google search, e.g. "comcast webmail filters"

Re: PESO: Blue Heron Fishing

Yeah. I thought perhaps it wouldn't be so skittish but it was so be it. 
It tends to hang out in that area so I am sure I will run into him/her 
again. Hope that the Green Heron that was on the branches of the Blue 
Heron will be there as well and this time in a better spot.

Re: PESO: Blue Heron Fishing

[Ann Sanfedele]

That second one, with him standing errect with the catch in his beak  is 
my choice for a real keeper - just very good all around - too bad about 
the cluttered background in the first one and the 4th. The rearview one 
is odd because he doesn't look like the bird he is in that one...


Aren't they wonderful creatures!

that.

A good candid portrait. Impressive beard! Judging by the penguins,

I agree with Paul about the bright strip up top being a distraction.

Re: PESO -- Ed II

Nice action portrait. The hand seems to indicate he is commenting. Colorful 
strip across the top might be cropped, being careful not to let the top edge 
get uncomfortably close to his head. Might be a combination of cropping and 
some cloning of a portion of the left half so as not to crowed his head. 
Then, for balance, the bottom should be cropped by whatever feels comfortable. 
Certainly worth the effort.
