How do you move the pins? The pin attached to my name is in the wrong city by about 350km.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even the mapping errors.

You log into your google account, then there should be a red button on the left of the map saying "Edit". Click it and drag your name and the red line around to where you actually are. Then click "Save".

Regarding the "digital camera around the world". I found out that I have a 2.1 mpix Olympus Camedia C-2000 lying around that I don't use. Would that be of interest?

So hey, its Rodeo Trail Riders weekend here in Houston. I'm hoping to get some shots of the Trail Riders on their horses on the streets in Downtown to prove once and for all that yes, we do ride horses on the streets of downtown Houston.

Would it be cheating if I brought my own pudding cups and asked the gay cowboys to eat them?

Assuming I receive the camera from the other dude, we have it covered, but I mean feel quite free to send garbage cameras to random idiots, that's sort of why this thread exists.

Well that kind of sucked. I love you guys, but I wasn't willing to shell out $50 just to stand around in a parking lot for a chance to win a ticket to proceed further in to the roiling mass of testosterone, boots, and charred meat called the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo BBQ cook-off. I did get some shots from outside the fence, so we'll see how they turn out.

Up next on the agenda, finishing off this roll with some shots of downtown, the tunnel system, our pitiful excuse for light rail and cows. So many cows.

Alright, all done. Cow pictures, as promised, but the gay cowboys and oil wells will have to wait.

On a sad note, the search for cows took me past some old family land and I found out my great aunt passed away.

On a good note, I didn't just get any scrub cows, I found some authentic Texas longhorns, and nothing says Texas like a breed of cattle with Texas in the name.

lovely digital p&s update: going downtown today to buy an xD card (I will feel much shame doing this) it's unusually sunny today so I may even take some pics. I'll ship it back out when I get paid on Friday, if you want it, tell me where you are and somehow convince me you should get it.

Note: it'd be good if you owned a card reader that can take xD, the USB on the camera is some weird moon poo poo. If I can find a spare card reader I'll throw it in, but no guarantees.

I may actually have one of those Fuji moon USB cables laying around, I know it has turned up a few times when looking for a normal cable. I'll send it wherever, assuming I haven't thrown it away in disgust.

It's Olympus. Don't bother, I'm pretty sure I know where I have a spare halfassed USB 1.1 card reader that I never want to see again.

Oh poo poo, is it? I didn't even bother to look. Well Mr. Whoever Has That Dumb Cable, have a look for it I guess, in the meantime I'll buy the smallest xD card I can find because I'm pretty sure this thing would poo poo the bed with anything over half a gig.

Ok that haiku wins, e-mail your address to soundmonkey@somethingawful.com. Also I found my terrible card reader that takes xD cards, so don't worry about that cable. Just nobody steal the card reader you jerks (not that you'd want to).

On this hunt, I discovered that I still have a card reader that can read SmartMedia in TYOOLASJC 2013.

EDIT: This is for the terrible digicam, which can probably stay in North America for right now so pseudonordic doesn't have to pay absurd shipping twice.
