Woo! $475 for the lens and $20 for the hood, sold to a guy in South Africa who appears to be legit.
I like to think that I get more bids by being willing to ship overseas. I think if one is careful it’s generally safe, and with the US dollar doing horribly there’s a big advantage for people in other countries to buy our stuff. Shipping overseas is pretty easy, too. Same old USPS, just different options to pick from.
Do any of you know how to donate software licenses?
I’ve got a 20 CAL copy of Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, for x64 here. It’s NFR, and was handed to me by a MS rep. Unfortunately I don’t have a use for it. I can’t really sell it, so I’d like to donate it to a charity which can use it. But I don’t know of any. If any of you know of a organization which can (and will) use it, and how I can get it to them, please let me know.
And yes, it’s brand new, still sealed, etc.
Thanks. :D
Thanks to LJ’s new AJAX-ness breaking and the built-in autosave stuff failing, I just lost what I wrote here. So, I’ll try again:
Upon arriving home from work today I found a small box on the porch. Upon opening it I remembered that last week I had ordered a eval kit for Cypress’ PSoC Express. I had figured that it would just be a CD or something, but it turned out to be a lot more. What I received is the package you see above, containing two CY3210-PSoCEVAL1 boards, a CY8C29446 PSoC, a CY8C27443 PSoC, a 9V battery, cables, jumpers, and everything else one could need for getting familiar with PSoCs.
Thus far I have to say that I’m pretty impressed with PSoC Express. It’s a bit clunky to work with, but in a few minutes I was able to bang together a blinking LED, the turning on/off of LEDs at various positions on a pot, latching an LED on or off with each button press, etc. It’s really quite nifty.
If you’re interested in seeing more photos of the eval kit, take a look here: Cypress PSoC ExpressEval Kit (photo gallery retired)
If you’d like one, they can be acquired from Cypress’ Get PSoC site.
Anyone interested in buying my Canon EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS USM? I’m asking US$500 for it, along with the EW-73B hood and two filters, a Hoya slim circular polarizer and Tiffen UV. (The UV filter was generally kept on the lens to help mitigate damage, were the lens to be bumped or dropped.)
The lens was purchased by me at the very end of last year along with my Canon 20D. As I’ve acquired a new lens which overlaps the usefulness of this one, I’ve decided to sell it.
It has never been dropped, is in excellent condition, and works great. I simply don’t need it any more.
It’ll likely go up on eBay within a day or so if I don’t hear from anyone, so please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks!
UPDATE: It’s now on eBay, along with the hood: 290038467858 & 290038468779
Anyone want to see a bug in Mail.app v2.1 (752/752.2)? Here: mail_imap_single_subfolder_bug.mp4
In short, I have two folders under INBOX (in this case .Logs and .Other) which aren’t defined as special folders (.Sent, .Drafts, .Junk, and .Trash are being used as special folders in Mail.app). If I delete one of them, in this case .Other, suddenly .Logs is no longer visible.
In short, if there is one folder besides the ‘special’ ones off of INBOX, it won’t be shown. And yes, I’ve confirmed that the folder is subscribed. Pointing SquirrelMail or Thunderbird at the account shows all folders as expected.
This is with Courier-IMAP 4.1.1 running on FreeBSD 6.1.
And yes, this has been reported to Apple as Problem ID 4764544.
Just a quick photo to show off my blueberry cider (photo gallery retired). And yes, it is made with socks. ;)
Hopefully I’ll be able to bottle it in about a month, then it’ll be drinkable around three weeks after that. When putting it in the carboy (the large glass bottle seen above) it had a nice, apple-y, bitter, sweet berry taste to it. With any luck this will continue, and with carbonation the taste will lighten up even more.
I’m really looking forward to this cider.
Oh, and the plain one (shown there for comparison) which only has honey in it should be ready around the same time. Mmm. Hopefully this will be a lot better than last year’s cider.
Can any of you tell me why the following matches no files (and thusly won’t back things up?
tar -czP --include '*.sh' -f /home/telematic/backup/`date +"%Y-%m-%d_scripts.tar.gz"` /usr/local/sbin
This is with BSD tar, and there are files matching *.sh under there. In fact:
root@rowla:~telematic/backup# find /usr/local/sbin -name "*.sh"
/usr/local/sbin/fastcgi/fastcgi-katester.sh
/usr/local/sbin/fastcgi/fastcgi-c0nsumer.sh
/usr/local/sbin/fastcgi/fastcgi-rekram.sh
/usr/local/sbin/fastcgi/fastcgi-sithspawn.sh

So, uhm… What am I doing wrong?
Yes, I’m randomly posting photos today. I just noticed that it was a bit foggy out and… yeah. Normally I don’t get to play in the fog unless it’s early morning, so this was a nice change of pace.
