Got my new, and highly anticipated, camera today. As you can see by the picture, it can only get better ;-) Seriously though, its fairly easy to shoot photos with the Canon 10D, but I know I have a lot to learn, especially when shooting manually. The picture is a result of long exposure because the camera and my flash didn’t co-operate right away. I know I have some work to do before I get to the level of Anders and his pictures at Extrospection
Interesting to note that the Bush government, and Rumsfeld in particular is denouncing ever having made Saddam out to be an immanent threat to the USA. MoveOn.org has picked up the ball with the distribution of a video clip they describe like this: Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got caught blatantly contradicting his past statements, and we have the video clip.

Well, that was fun. Or maybe not. Have been trying for close to an hour to install the cool little USB-Bluetooth-dongle MSI BToes, with no luck. That is to say, the installation went OK until I got this not so funny error message: The required section was not found in the INF.

One of the better is Tim O’Reilly talking about how the internet was a big revolution and people having trouble understanding that documents could come to you withing a matter of seconds from the other side of the earth, and how that has come so common place we don’t
