Filth!

I’m surprised by how un-dusty the inside of the cold air return is, just above my furnace. I opened it up today as part of installing a second doorbell chime in my basement because, as anyone who has come by my place has likely noticed, I can’t hear the doorbell when I’m down there. Additionally, I tend to be downstairs working on things fairly often, so the lack of doorbell pretty much makes people have to just walk in.

I am also really liking Adobe Photoshop Lightroom again. Beta 4 is really quite polished, to the point where I’m considering buying CS3 when it comes out. It just simply seems like a much better app than Digital Photo Professional, which I’d been using for a while now.

Today an order of camera stuffs came in, too. This is good. Now I’ve got a hunk of protective glass on the 24-70 L, a lens cap for it, more lens cleaning stuffs, and step-up rings so the circular polarizer can be used on both the 50mm and 100mm lenses. However, when going to take a photo of the bottle of Fiddler’s Elbow I’m trying tonight I didn’t put a memory card in the camera. With the camera set to take pictures when no card is installed, you can imagine where the photos went. Whoops.

    Where

    Where did the pictures go when there isn’t a memory card in it?

      Based on the name I’m presuming it’ll either be bundled with PS, or part of CS3. Fortunately student price for CS3 will probably be around US$300. Since I’ve been using not-quite-legal copies of Adobe software (I don’t feel I use it often enough to warrant paying full price) and there is now a tool in there which I’ll use almost daily, I’ll probably purchase it.

        yea really, I was impressed with lightroom, and I think it might actually get me to spend money rather than skirt the law.
