Those are Lacie firewire drives. Are you sure you want Firewire storage?

We have a stack of them here where I work and they made decent sneakernet storage until we finally installed fiber, but they seemed to have a pretty high failure rate. Many of them had two drives inside, in what was probably a jbod array. Maybe that contributed to the high failure rate.

In the past I've put photos on a free Flickr account and then linked to them here. It's enough effort that I don't do it too often.

Like the persian carpet mouse pad.

Thinking of upgrading to Vista.

Rob,
The LaCies are only used for off line storage. Fortunately I have never had a failure with them. Hopefully I didn't speak too soon. Since they all have multiple interfaces, when I upgrade comp with USB2.0 ports, I'll use those.

Here's a quick glimpse of my "everday" office. Yeah, under the top layer there is a tablet somewhere.

OK, thanks to Kelly hosting this image, here you are: http://www.vegasusers.com/testbench/images/serena-studio_alnitak_edit.jpgStudio Alnitak "film room"[/link]
As you can see (only too well) video has established itself by wedging aside film based systems, and you can even detect layering in the computer systems. That room really is full but still workable --- so we're building a new house with a decent video editing suite!! Oh, the viewing room is next door -- no room for clients in here.

I love the cable hangers.

I guess if everyones doin it....Im kinda shy though.....

Here ya go


My 3 printers and a scanner are behind me when I took the picture. Also have a laser disk player there as well. Still works but never use it.

Viewing area

This is over a year old but it looks pretty much the same except for another 19" panel.

Jim's Workstation[/link]

Today's version of my setup....tomorrow hope to change out one of the CRT monitors for a 24" LCD....
Old Dell, Laptop, Video machine all lined up left to right, external hard drives scattered around lower shelves....

I used to tell visitors to excuse the mess but the cleaning lady died. What I didn't tell them was that not only was she dead, but how it happened... one day she walked in, took a look around, and committed suicide....

hey Eric (epirb),
Can't make out what the boxes are hanging off either end of the underside of the top shelf. Wanna share??
Thanks,
Tom

Holy mackerel, is that a 1A2 next to the pair of 19" monitors on the left?

Are you still paying the phone company $3.50 per month for that phone without knowing it ("baked into" the line charge)?

Tom,
An old Emu Proteus Midi orchestral sound module,...... used with my keyboards and an equally old Alesis Quadra verb patchd into the little yamaha board & mic's (the Mic's & my keyboards, a relatively new Clav, and a couple of OLD Ensoniq synths and samplers in another room/studio area.)
I laugh cuz the keyboards arent orth crap nowdays, but like all of us with equipt we bought back in the day we cant toss it nowing what we paid for it back then! I see I'm not alone in that when i look at these pictures.LOL

<Holy mackerel, is that a 1A2 next to the pair of 19" monitors on the left>

Hey and i think I saw one of thise suction cup microphones for recording calls on its handset in there too...

(Just kidding .....see my previous post)

Epirb, I observe your monitor speakers have elliptical cones. Or is the image squeezed? After I figured out how to make my office image appear without going through the link it was really really squeezed, so I deleted that! Is there a control here for fixing image width? Looking back through the images, many are obviously squeezed (I'd wondered about the square monitors).

Incidentally, I recommend Panorama Factory for stitching images into panoramas rather than Photoshop.

I use a program called "Autopano Pro" to make panoramas. It's absolutely flawlessly amazing and far exceeds the capabilities of Panorama Factory (which I used to use.)

http://www.autopano.net

Autopano Pro is the commercialized version of some cutting edge research done at the AI lab at the University of British Columbia. A free, basic version is available at:

http://www.autostitch.net

Autostitch is nowhere near as capable as Autopano Pro, but it's free and uses the same basic engine.

Also, if you make your image about 600 pixels (or less) wide, the forum software won't mess with the aspect ratio.

John

Is Autopano better than Photoshop CS3 (which received some improvements to panorama stitching)?

Yes, I think it's better than Photoshop CS3. I started making panoramas about fifteen years ago when I had to stitch them together manually and I've used about every piece of software since. Autopano Pro is the best I've found, the "smartblend" and color matching features are almost miraculous. Download the demo.

Industrial Light & Magic has licensed the AutoStitch engine to make panoramas for film. If it's good enough for ILM...
