Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
I inadvertently formatted the card that was in a digital camera here at work, thinking I had already copied the images off the camera. I hadn’t. Crap.
Thankfully the copy of PC Inspector I’ve had sitting on my hard drive for quite a while was able to recover every single one of the images. So if you’ve ever been a dumba** like me, get this program now (it’s freeware) as you never know when you might need it.
No, I’m not getting paid to post this, I just know it saved my butt.
…without your very own indoor shooting range.
Thanks, but I’d rather have the kickass arcade.
Just spin the circle. Sounds simple, right? Easier than it sounds.
But I so totally want this used Canon Super Telephoto 1200mm lens that B&H is selling. Nevermind that’s nearly $100,000 and I don’t have a camera worth even mounting it on.
As for image quality, even wide open it’s quite lovely. Stopped down to f/8 and f/11 it’s actually quite remarkable. How remarkable? From midtown Manhattan we were able to read the street signs on the corner of JFK Boulevard East and 43rd St. in Weehawkin New Jersey when viewing image files at pixel resolution.
No, this has nothing to do with the cold, this is another one of Improv Everywhere experiments where over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Full story here, video below:
It looks like it’s only on a few stories (like the domestic partnership story) and after chatting with the folks there, it’s moderated, but lightly — mostly just to keep the crazy crap that belongs on R&R off of there (which is a good thing, as there are some damn crazy people on R&R).
The Source has had commenting on their articles (as have most local blogs) for a while, but it’s nice to see some other larger media outlets do it. I don’t expect to see it on the Bulletin anytime soon, though they are doing a bunch of online experiments like their Podcasts and their Near/Far local band site, so maybe we will see something there sometime. Nothing as of yet over on the KOHD site that was supposed to be a communitiy interactive site — we’ll see how long it takes to get to that point.
Few stories of varying ages:
Hiding images in plain view with CSS3. Only works in Firefox or Safari, and as Waxy points out, this would be good for propaganda.
It’s subtle, but a local reader points out that it appears that KTVZ’s FavIcon on their site:
Is the same as the FavIcon for KOTA TV in South Dakota:
KTVZ has their own FavIcon with the little red circle with the 21 in the middle of it, but it’s not there any more.
While I’m sure it’s related to the fact that both companies are using the software from WorldNow, there was obviously a glitch somewhere that will undoubtedly be fixed soon as I know the good folks at KTVZ read this site on occasion (Hi Barn and Eric, nice seeing you both last Thursday).
