Technology Notes
7:40 PM I continue to be amazed, and impressed, with the Web. I decided to see if i could find out what was available for digital camera storage devices. I began with those three words and google and then switched to digital photo storage. That was much better. I viewed a number of sites and after some comparisons, settled on an Epson P-3000. It handled SD memory cards and interfaces with both PC and Macintosh. It has 40 GB of storage, which seems like a lot to me and permits one to view the images on a 4" display. It was just released in September of 2006. Tomorrow I will see if it is available locally, and if not, I will order it online. SUMMARY of the session: I learned a lot about what is available for digital photo storage devices and what the costs are.

D. Reflection

8:15 PM I am remembering to make an evening entry, but notice that I forgot take a couple of weather pictures this noon hour.

My model train website was posted this morning and the website indicates that 27 people have viewed it, but I have yet to receive any feedback.

The wind was howling today, a good reason to stay indoors. I read Virginia Woolf's short novel, Orlando: A Biography. It was much more conventional in form and had I had a strong sense that it was autobiographical. I plan to read Julia Briggs chapter on it tomorrow and then prepare a set of notes. this was my main activity for the day, and a great way to sit back and enjoy the day.

I am feeling a little frustrated with my model train activities as I cannot work on any models until the hobby store gets a new supply of plastic cement and I can't begin work on DCC until the weather improves and I can make a trip into Calgary. I may decide to buy a couple of 6" boards and a couple of 3/4" dowels and try out my idea of a second level loop on top of my existing layout.

I also want to pursue the idea of buying a digital photo storage device (the Epson P-3000) tomorrow.

This is also a good reason for learning some of the additional features of my camera!
