Hay computer and camera geeks: How can I get data off a camera? I don't have a cable and I thought I'd grab one at Active surplus only to discover it's some sort of proprietary plug:mad:

Is there any place that copies data from a memory card to a CD cheaply?

I use a memory card reader. Not only is it faster than the camera download interface, but it supports both of my memory cards (SD and CF). I can't find the exact one I have on there, but they all basically do the same thing. Just make sure it supports the card type you're using.

Oh baby....keep talkin like that!!

Word. I use a usb2.0 card reader for my stuff too.. something along these lines: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...66&cid=990.434

Lets get a ride going this evening. These days are far too fine to waste. Who is in?

The dollar reached parity today. Crazy!!

So are there renewed calls for a common currency?

Thanks for the tips on the card readers you guys. Cheaper than I thought it would be so it's feasible. Unless one of you wants to just buy my car and I can just forget about the whole picture thing!

WE bought my 14 year old one of those coloured Dells now that she's in high school. It's got a card reader in the front of it....slick.

Time for a Nashbar order!

Yeah, screw the LBS! La Bicicletta Toronto vs. La Bicicletta Niagara! ;)

Bet that new WG book I buy tomorrow is still going to cost me X$ more than U.S. cover price though. *sigh*

haha. One of those cards holds more data than all of the computers in the school combined from when I went to high school! [/old man]

Did I ever tell you Keith's my heeeeroo,
Keith is the wind beneath my wiiiings.


uhh.. yeah. :P A nice lunchtime ride combined with a tasty espresso (from Bulldog) causes much wes-zaniness.

I think the GTA is sorely lacking a race series with as fine a credo as the Cyclocross Dress Race Series..

3rd post in a row.. caffeine! yeah!

so, is anyone (besides nerdsgirth, because he's a needy *****) interested in going for a ride tonight? I'm trying to get some blood flow to my atrophied (read: I'm a lazy *****) legs. :)

Hey Wes I thought I was the guy with too much time on my hands :D

More like summerbourne

Wes is distributed processing and multitasking.

Keith's bike is Gimmea*****

hahaha.. actually when I was posting those things it was reminding me off your recent uber-silliness. Since you like the puns so much, this one is for you... worst/best visual pun evar:

Also, now I'm back to work. I was waiting on feedback from a client.. Now I have a page of point-form changes to make. wahoo! :P

hahahha. How did you find that???!! Searching "pun" in flickr?

Man, I would like to go for a ride but I'm kind of afraid. I had another 0 mph fall-over yesterday when I pulled up to Queen Video on College and I couldn't get my feet out of the straps, which I apparently tightened WAY too much. I was excited about how comfortable my new GR-9s are, so I really yanked the straps.

So as much as I'd like to meet you guys I kind of want to wait until I have more confidence that I won't look like another n00b ****** on a fixed gear. Which is basically what I am, I guess.

Nerdsgirth: this is why I kind of dodged your invitation to ride up to York. We should do that sometime, though.

Hey don't worry about it man. You're just a dude on a bike. We've ALL been there (the 0-mph fallover). This one time I was at Yonge and Dundas on a typical work day for me. For some reason I also had tightened my left strap way too much. When I pulled up to the light, I tried to pull my foot out and my foot just came out of my shoe, which stayed in the pedal, while I went down kind of half cursing/half laughing. There weren't too many witnesses luckily. Also, luckily it was a dry day.

Tyler, I don't even ride fixed yet - don't feel bad.

Wes, I'm in for a ride - lemme know.

The Halloween Cross race always brings out the interesting race kit. They do races on both Sat and Sun. I think I am gonna bust out last years costume for the cross this year.

No, searching for "Halloween". I never have any good costume ideas, so I figure I'll rip off someone else's nice and early. Or at least, that's what I'm saying now. By the time Halloween rolls around I'm sure I'll be in the same costumeless boat I am every year. :P

ps. gold: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathryn/285450075/

Tyler.. I'm SS'n on them thar streets. The fixed thing is beyond me, so no worries, We have ALL done the 'slo-mo over-I-go'.
The costumed cross race looks like a blast!!!

Yeah, what Dan said. As anyone who I've mountain biked this year will attest to, I fall down a LOT. Does it stop me from riding? Hell no! Well, only when I've temporarily injured myself enough to keep me off the trails. :P

And yeah, we've all done the 0mph fall over. That has little to do with riding fixed and a lot to do with getting used to a new pedal system. You should see me skittering around trying to get clipped into the pedals on my road bike (speedplay zero's). Yowza!

Nice. Unfortunately for me, there were some dudes right nearby laughing their asses off. I laughed with them, because I don't embarrass easily and I thought the noise I made as I went down was pretty funny, but they didn't give me the pleasure. They were laughing at me. Whatever.

I'm up for a ride tonight, but I don't get done with my tutorials until 6:30 and then I have to transit back into the city, which can take up to an hour+, depending how long I have to wait for bus/sub/streetcar/all three. So if you're not meeting up until 7:30-8, I'll be there. Don't postpone it for me, though.

Trying to clip into brand new Look Keo road pedals while riding on the wrong side of the road in Scotland this summer was good times (although nearly ended in pain)

Stupid York. :) (my gf is a grad student there in Poli Sci)
