Pff, spoiled amateurs. I process RAW files from my 5DII on a 16 MHz Intel 386. Yes, that's MEGA-hertz. The waiting is part of the creative process.

I'm feeling empowered by replacing my own RAM and eyeing SSDs. The intel 256gb one is like 400, but I think there is a crucial one for cheaper (just not sure if I can trust it).

I couldn't afford a big ssd when I was upgrading my system, so I got an 80gb one. Ugh, huge mistake. I can pretty much only have Windows, and some installed apps on the drive. Lightroom previews and all the thumbnails for every program go to your appdata folder on your system drive, which end up taking many gigabytes of space. I loaded up ACDSee and just let it hit my photos dir that was on my big raid array, and it put like 8GB of thumbnails on my boot drive, which brought free space to 0 and it was just a huge mess. Now every few days I have to go wipe out thumbnails/previews and it's really annoying and I just bought a $300 monitor instead of a bigger ssd and now I'm mad at myself.

Great reviews with solid reliability. Have no fear with Crucial SSD's.

Lightroom previews and all the thumbnails for every program go to your appdata folder on your system drive, which end up taking many gigabytes of space. I ran into this problem because I keep a fairly small system partition and store all my personal stuff on extra hard disks (reason: it makes os reinstalls a lot easier). It turns out the previews are actually written into the catalog, and Lightroom lets you store catalogs anywhere you want. The only problem is where the default catalog gets written ('My Pictures' under windows, ~/Library on a mac). You can either export your catalog to a new location and open it in lightroom, or select 'new catalog' from the file menu and make a new one wherever you want, and import pictures into that.

I'm not gonna hold photos on it, just Photoshop's scratch disks.

Instead of the OS on the SSD, can't you just use it for the image file source? Also, I have a photo, not a bad photo, on Flickr.  barney the banana rat by torgeaux, on Flickr On November 15, it got 50+ hits, almost all from google image search for banana rat. Interesting, but not unusual. Then the next day, 50+, almost all from google searches. Continuing to today, it's been 10 or more per day, almost all from google. I can't find a news story or web story that would trigger the interest. Just can't figure it out.

No need to be mad about that, SSDs are falling in price fairly rapidly, whereas IPS monitors appear to be falling slightly more slowly ( I assume you got the Dell 24 inch IPS from the BF sale). You can always pick up a 120gb for $100ish sometime this holiday season as a stop gap until the 1TB ones become reasonable.

Yeah, but before 15 November, zero hits for a few months, and before that, the occasional hit from google. Just curious about the recent interest.

RangerScum posted:Why isn't that rat eating a banana. They're a plague on that side of Cuba. One of the only written agreements between Cuba and the US is to permit us to kill them with abandon. They've no real predators (small boa constrictor population and cars), and they breed like rats. I've never seen one near a banana, but they eat trees, garbage, bushes. They're also gregarious and cute. More than one has come up to me in the dark, raised up on their legs and touched me. I did not scream like a girl the first time. No one can prove anything different. Now, I'm very used to them hanging around when I shoot at night.

If you search "farmorama" on GIS the second result is a lovely Pano/stitch I made linked on FlickrRiver. You'd be surprised how many people A. search for that term and B. will click through from FlickrRiver. The photo is up to 1,363 views.

Lightning storm just hit while i was walking off a pasta overload and I ran all the way home, got my X100, busted out to my car and lordy did the sky open up and end all. It was a violent flashing world. Drains instantly full, trees suddenly across roads. High beams ineffectual in the fog of rain. Giant static spikes shuddering my woofer during a techno request on Triple J. It was like Steve Buscemi in Con Air when you thought he was going to have sex with that little girl but he just stole her doll. And there I was, slowly pulling the focus out to infinity on the X100 because I couldn't cheat it out in automatic focus. Me and this camera are over. We're not friends anymore. In fact, the revisionist in me says we never were.

How can a camera so good in all other aspects be lumbered with a focusing system that is so spectacularily terrible. If the x100 was a person it would be George Clooney, but with a crippling erectile disfunction. Sure you have the potential to bed the most beatiful women on earth, and you do just that.... but for every 2 successess, there is that soul-destroying third time where you were left fumbling frantically with your focus ring trying to make poo poo work while your shot gets bored and fucks off. What do you use for rain protection on your x100?
