I use this: rsync -av -E --delete [source] [target] There are some ...quirks when one uses rsync with the -E (include forked resources) argument. In spite of that, rsync is the sole tool I use to make redundant copies of my photos and FLACs.

I have nothing to contribute to this thread other than to agree with Posty about the Quad 99 CDP-2. For some reason it mates really well with these powered speakers I have...

A Brief Eve History (Zhek Kromtor - Multiboxing)

After an intense session of moving furniture and appliances yesterday, and a similar one this morning, I appear to have given myself a not-so-minor case of heat stroke? 0_o

Q here FT.

I don't think I've posted this one yet. I'm starting to lose track of which Scandinavia and the World comics I've posted and which ones I haven't.

I got my first IR G2 just over a year ago (April 1, 2009) but it had a defective lens. It's replacement arrived a few weeks later. Since then I have posted 151 IR landscapes and 38 IR portraits to Flickr. I'd say that's a fair amount. Personally, I think IR is awesome. I really want an IR-converted DSLR. The D70 is an older model, but it's lightyears ahead of the G2 I use. I imagine you'd have a blast shooting IR with it and the 18-55 kit lens. The only concern I'd have is that the D70 is in good working order. It'd suck if you paid to have it converted and it stopped working soon thereafter. Salty is evil, but he's right. Shit, the rest of this post is going to have to wait. We've just lost power on MV, and I'm running on battery

Thanks. The G2 does not normally do IR. Mine was converted by having its hotmirror replaced with one that lets in IR light but blocks most of the visible spectrum. There are several outfits that do the conversion, LifePixel is the most well known. The reason I use the G2, which is pretty ancient in the world of digicams (4MP, tiny LCD, can't use CF cards bigger than 1GB) is that I got it for less than the cost of an IR conversion. When I get my next DSLR, I hope to convert my 30D to IR. Unfortunately, LifePixel just raised their prices. I can only imagine what they will be when I finally buy a second DSLR.

...it's not like Tyll has a history of wearing colorful outfits and being photographed or anything...

Wow, that was quick, Reks. The D90 will let you do video (BFD, IMJO) but will AF with most modern primes and (I think) meter through your older manual lenses. Also, in general, it has a much better meter than the older D80. My friend Archie has the D80 and he is forever compensating for its meter insanity. Not to add to your fiscal woes, but I suspect you will find yourself wanting a 35mm prime at some point. The seems to quite like his 35mm F/1.8 DX.
