When you're on dry land, are you set up to do vinyl rips? Certainly you have the carts for it.

. o O Y'know, I agree with both them.

Saweet! I'd love two of those. And an Allen & Heath rotary. JEEBUS.

Successfully recovered my Blackberry!

I no longer have a copper landline, but I have a number of analogue phones still. The extent to which I used GV with the BB was largely proof-of-concept. I got it to work and then didn't use it again. I never got it to work with my Macintop. I'm currently phone-less until I go to the (not-so) local T-Mobile store, get a new SIM card and get my clunky old Nokia flip phone working again. What I'd like to be able to do is use one of my old analogue phones (or if I must, a new SIP phone) with Google Voice and my MacBook (and soon-to-be-purchased Mac desktop.)

Hi there, H-C. Yesterday, while I was on a photo shoot, my beloved Blackberry grew legs and took off (FML). I've been in damage control mode for the last 20 or so hours (shutting off the phone, changing a fuck-ton of passwords.) Now I'm moving on to regaining ground so to speak. I have a Google Voice number, and had the GV app for my BB. I also have a Vonage box left over from when I was a customer of theirs. My understanding is that the Vonage only works with their service. It might be hackable, but that's really not my forte. What I'd like is similar box, something with an ethernet (or USB) jack and an RJ11 jack. Failing that, a hardware phone with a USB port that will make nice with Google Voice on a Mac. A geek friend of mine said "any SIP compatible phone should work with GV" but did not elaborate much beyond that. Any head-casers have experience with Google Voice and external hardware, particularly on a Mac?

I got an "invalid attachment" message for both of those.

I find shutter priority to me useful only in rare circumstances (any time I'm really concerned about shutter speed, I am shooting manual.) I use Program with shift fairly often, and aperture priority with all my manual lenses (my 30D does TTL metering on pretty much every lens I mount to it.) Av is "program mode" for manual glass. Which ones you will find useful I cannot say. The D70's meter is quite different than the 30D's so there's not much overlap in knowledge. Certainly the more you shoot on full manual, the better your skills will develop.

Drove to the center of town, paid $out_the_ass for a dump "transfer station" sticker. Went to the %$#@& post office and picked up my %&$@ mail. Received no explanation as to why they continued to hold my mail after Monday. Got an email at 2PM from my tax accountant saying he had a 7PM cancellation, and could I meet him then to go over my tax info. Said yes. Spent two hours sorting through paperwork to make sure I had the right info for the Vineyard, the mainland, and anything else that gives me at tax liability. Received a cal from an idiot dancer I know asking me if I was going to be at the nightclub taking pictures on Saturday. Told her "politely" to bother me later. Did not nap. Drove to the tax accountant's house, went over numbers and forms with him for an hour. Drove to mum's house, gave her some paperwork, and two prints of the house across the pond on MV. Got a bite to eat. Went to 3 different grocery stores and one drug store. I was out of practically everything at the house. Also received an iPod from Mr. DIY and a 50mm Nikkor from the . Finally got in the door half an hour ago. Still haven't eaten dinner, still need to email some renovation expense #s to the accountant, and put away (as in "off the damn table where I eat") several piles of paperwork. That bottle of Talisker is finished tonight.
