“ColorVision”:http://secure.colorvision.com/sup_dl-upgrades.shtml I’ve been using the Spyder2Pro for a while now and didn’t realize that they had updated the calibration software. Makes me wish I had got PrintFix as well to do printer calibration. Oh well, always more to do.

Shutterbug: Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400. Two years ago, I bought the then brand new 5400. It had a resolution advantage then over the Nikon 4000 and since then the technology has plateaued. Most film has about 4000 dpi and I’ve actually found that for most photos, 2700 dpi is…

Blog Administration: Fixing Movable Type StyleCatcher. It has taken me a year to get this finally working. Turns out the README for StyleCatcher isn’t complete. You also have to change some parameters in the settings, it picks up the wrong real path and web path defaults for my installation. The…

Maxtor.com – Warranty Services. Don’t get caught like me. One of our three brand new Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB hard drives just failed. I suspect it is the luck of the draw plus maybe the fact that we defragged it quite a bit and maybe the heat, but in any…
