Well, Scott Howell finally got me the image I had been wanting to use against those who hotlink against the site’s images. The image is actually quite neat; I won’t post it here, but it shows a smaller version of the site banner, except with the cathedral tower on the left side and the site logo on the right. In any event, I’ve already tested it, and it seems to be working well. Time will tell if I see any backlash for it (as opposed to people just thinking the links are broken)…
I went to Best Buy this afternoon to pick up some supplies for the E3 trip. I had gone there to pick up a 1 GB USB flash drive, a 1 GB MiniSD memory card (for my cell phone), and some more MiniDV tapes for my camcorder. I ended up picking up a 512 MB flash drive (I doubt I’d need a 1 GB one) for $20 after rebate, a pair of MiniDV tapes, and went without the MiniSD card. I can’t really justify the cost of the MiniSD card at this point, especially when I consider I’ll be taking photos with my Fuji digital camera instead. The Fuji camera has the same megapixel count as the phone’s camera, but for some reason I think the Fuji takes better photos. Check the site gallery and see for yourself; all of the albums save the OTC 2006 one were done with the Fuji, while the OTC 2006 one was done with the phone. The Fuji definitely has better flash options anyway. As for the flash drive, it’s currently sitting on my keychain until such time as I actually need it…
Oh, I did see the neatest keyboard on ThinkGeek earlier today. It’s a laser and sensor unit, and what it does is shine a virtual keyboard onto a surface. You can then use said virtual keyboard, and sensors in the unit will determine what keys you’re pressing and also make noises to simulate typing. If it wasn’t for the fact that it costs $180, I’d seriously consider picking one up. You can take a look at it yourself here.
Anyway, that’s enough from the geek trenches from now… probably will have more on that subject after I get back from E3.
