  1. <p>Sheer stupidity, there are plenty of notices up warning and informing of the penalty. I had to smile though as I remember time as a juror earlier this year. I had put my medium format film pinhole camera into my rucksack thinking I might get some time during the lunch break to take some pictures around the city. At the security check at the entrance to the court buiding I got an intensive grilling and told to make sure I didn't bring it back the next day. Meanwhile anyone with a mobile phone in their pocket can just wander straight in!</p>
  2. <p>I've travelled a fair bit and now go cheap and lightweight, certainly wouldn't take more than one camera lens. With too much gear I find I miss enjoying the experience of being there. If it's cheap I'm not paranoid about it being stolen or damaged. Usually I walk around with a shoulder bag (manbag!) containing the camera stuff so it's easy to get at when needed.</p>
  3. <p>Someone once kindly offered to take our picture at scenic location in Arizona with my recently acquired, brand new and expensive digital camera. I was horrified to notice, after I had accepted, that he had no hands, and them amazed when he handled the camera at least as well as any other non-handicapped person. </p>
  4. <p >Having been confined to the house for a few days recently I have finished a major rebuild of my PC (new everything apart from the case) and upgraded to windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine apart from one niggling problem. When Vuescan is running the PC won’t enter sleep mode on its own. This is only a small problem but slightly annoying as I often like to leave the scanner (Epson v500) running while I go off to make tea, watch TV, go to bed, live a life etc. I’m fairly certain I’ve narrowed it down to Vuescan as it goes to sleep OK when everything else is running.</p>
