Salt Peanuts

Surprisingly, my teams are doing okay (Zac Stacy scoring 35 points helps). I'll probably still lose both games but at least I won't be getting destroyed.

It appears upgrading to LR5 borked the XMP files for about a month worth of photos, negating any and all edits/adjustments I did with them. Didn't notice it when I initially upgraded to LR5 since these were photos I'd processed a while back. Now I get to go through my backups to find non-borked XMP files. Joy.

That sucks, Brent. Glad to hear everyone's okay.

Q. How does Santa Claus take pictures? A. With his North Polearoid. Q. What did Snow White say when she left the photo store? A. Someday my prints will come.

Nice. 105DC would be a lot cheaper, especially used, but it would be bit close to 85mm I already own.

My condolences to you and your family, Todd.

Fuck, I miss having that lens. I really should grab one again, though in 135 variety next time.

What Shelly said. I hope you don't have to pay for the repair (I don't know how these things work in Ohio).

Typing in the passcode from an external keyboard still isn't working under 7.0.3.

crappy, I really like the second photo.

Well, it looks like both of my teams will be at .500 after uncharacteristically good starts.

RIP, Lou.

Didin't look to see if this is a known issue, but after I upgraded to LR5(.2), it managed to "lose" good chunk of photos from my catalog. The photos weren't actually deleted or moved, but weren't showing up on my catalog. It was easy enough to add them back, but still annoying.

^ PRAM reset?

This - sending good thoughts your way, Todd.

Love the photo, Ian! On a separate note, anyone here running LR5 on Mavericks? Any issues? Though it still works, Mavericks appear to have broken some interface feature on LR4 (at least on my machine) so I'm thinking it's a good time as any to upgrade to LR5.

^ Let me know how that conversation goes - I highly doubt my wife would agree to me buying another interchangeable lens camera because the camera on my phone isn't great.

Yep. Much appreciated.

Got a call/voicemail from the dealer - a whopping $86 in damage.

Took my car to a local shop since it started having some shifting issues last week. The shop called and tells me that transmission fluid is leaking and it's all over the transmission. At this point, I'm dreading hearing how much it's going to cost me to get it fixed. Instead, the guy on the phone tells me the car's powertrain may still be under warranty based on its mileage (they'd called a local Honda dealer to check) so I should take the car ASAP to a Honda dealer to see if I can get it repaired for free. They charged me nothing for all this, even though I know they didn't have to call Honda in regards to warranty and just could've proceeded with the repair there. I was very grateful.

The mispronunciation of Haverhill, which I'm sure was intentional, annoyed me for some reason.

Happy Birthday!
