Well I finally got my camera back from Nikon even if it was way longer than they said it should be. It works great and seems more responsive. And better yet the flash works again. Yeah! So I have been able to take some pictures which will be up on my pix page soon.
Ring for Sale
Well my boy Matt is selling a ring from a past fling. So head on over to ebay to check it out: Lady’s Platinum Diamond Semi-mount Ring It’s a steal of a deal! There is a story behind this ring with Carla and I, but you will have to ask me if you want to hear about it 🙂
War on Iraq or just boys with toys?
Here is a quote from cnn.com: “They’ll use this whole thing as a big training ground,” Bamford said. “They’ll experiment with everything they’ve been thinking about for a long time.” (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/03/03/sprj.irq.info.war.ap/index.html)
So are we going to war with Iraq to stop them from being a threat to society or are we going because we have new toys and have no where to use them? This is a question I’ve been asking myself for a few dyas now. So is war inevitable? So far it looks that way, but God can always change things. Hopefully not, but if so, I hope that the innocent are spared. My 2 cents.
SUV’s: Great vehicle or destroyer of all that is good?
This site seems to have issues with SUV’s and rightly so. They suck up precious resources, produce more than usual pollution, and how many SUV’s have you seen packed with alot of people? Hmmmmm waste of space? Well gaspig.com answers these questions and it has pretty funny captions under the pictures as well. Visit them here: http://www.gaspig.com
Sent digital camera to Nikon for repair
Well I finally got up the nerve to do it. I sent my beloved camera to Nikon for repair. I called technical support, got walked through the steps I had already done, and was told the inevitable. I had to send it away. So for the next few days(weeks) I won’t be updating my pix page much. We will be painting our living room this weekend so we’ll have some pictures from that, but I’ll have to scan them in first. More news on that later.
New pix
New pictures in the pix section under Nikon Coolpix 5700. There are pictures of Earl’s birthday party and the LAN party Brian and I went to with some of his high school buddies. Happy browsing!
My flash is broken! Oh nooooooooo!
Well my digital photography fun went out the window fast. Not long before Christmas the flash on my Nikon Coolpix 5700 decided not to work any more. I got to take some pictures without the flash, but in some cases a flash would have helped alot. I’m one of those people who dislike broken things so I haven’t been as crazy about taking pictures since it has been broken. Bummer. Well I’ll be sending it off to Nikon’s repair center to hopefully get it back without any trouble. Also I will be posting pictures of Earl’s B-day party, Christmas, and more. Stay tuned.

Salisbury University Linux Users Group
Well I used to have a article about the sulug on my old website so I figured I would put up one here. Linuxorbit was kind enough to host our site here: http://sulug.linuxorbit.com/ Not much up yet, but as we get more members we should have more dialog. Anyway if you are a Salisbury University Student and you just happen to stroll by my page go and check out the page and come out to our next meeting. Thanks.
