[10:52] <devino> hi
[10:56] <Eagle_Fire> hi
[10:56] <JoshMalone> hewwo
[10:57] <JoshMalone> Eagle_Fire: did I tell you I finally finished my CVS camcorder mods
[10:57] <Eagle_Fire> really?
[10:57] <JoshMalone> the USB B jack looks pretty nice, if i do say so myself
[10:57] <Eagle_Fire> sweet
[10:57] <JoshMalone> took me about 1.5 hours, including the case milling :)
[10:58] <Eagle_Fire> worth it?
[10:58] <JoshMalone> totally :)
[10:58] <Eagle_Fire> i've never seen a CVS camera in washington :(
[10:58] <JoshMalone> it's like a video notepad - carry it everywhere
[10:59] <Eagle_Fire> heh, i carry my digital camera everywhere anyhow
[10:59] * JoshMalone  bought this the day the usable hack appeared
[10:59] <Eagle_Fire> and my camera has more memory :)
[10:59] <JoshMalone> had to drive 30 mins to next city to find a CVS that had 'em in stock
[10:59] <Eagle_Fire> not to mention 5 megapickles when i need it
[10:59] * JoshMalone  pictures 5 megapickles
[11:00] <Eagle_Fire> lol, they must have taken a heavy loss the day that hack appeared
[11:00] <JoshMalone> all 4 CVS stores in c'ville were sold out
[11:00] * JoshMalone  didn't think there were that many geeks in C'ville
[11:00] <Eagle_Fire> well maybe it was just one rich geek, wanting to do a bullet-time setup
[11:01] <JoshMalone> LOL
[11:01] <JoshMalone> well - a lot of my friends have aipteks
[11:01] <JoshMalone> and they're like $100 - $120 and produce better video
[11:01] <JoshMalone> but I like the hack value of mine
[11:01] <Eagle_Fire> yeah, aiptek stuff is cheap
[11:02] <Eagle_Fire> quality so-so
[11:02] <Eagle_Fire> i like my minolta dimage x50
[11:02] <JoshMalone> well i dont really care much about quality
[11:02] <JoshMalone> unlike my photographer girlfriend
[11:03] <Eagle_Fire> when i go back to look at my photo archives quality is a must
[11:03] <Eagle_Fire> ...i've got about 5gb of photos now :)
[11:03] <JoshMalone> I think Maya ( my g/f) has about....10 dvds
[11:07] <JoshMalone> that's mostly slide film scanned at....around 18 megapixels :)
[11:07] <JoshMalone> wait - 12.2 MP
[11:08] <JoshMalone> (3600dpi by 2400dpi)
[11:08] <Eagle_Fire> dang
[11:08] <Eagle_Fire> i don't like storing things on dvd's because they sometimes go bad
[11:09] <JoshMalone> yeah...we're not really sure what to do about that
[11:09] <Eagle_Fire> synchronized hard drives for the win
[11:09] <JoshMalone> but at least there's still the film :)
[11:10] <Eagle_Fire> that goes bad too
[11:11] <Eagle_Fire> though in a digitally remasterable way
[11:11] <Eagle_Fire> not like dvds where they're in an unrecoverable way
[11:11] <JoshMalone> slides deteriorate much slower than film strips
[11:12] <JoshMalone> I keep thinking I should copy her DVDs to tape while I have the chance
[11:12] <Eagle_Fire> or just duplicate them
[11:13] <Eagle_Fire> triplicate if you want to be more sure
[11:13] <JoshMalone> yeah - we plan on duping 'em later
[11:13] <JoshMalone> she already burns 2 every time she does a burn
[11:13] <Eagle_Fire> or just store them on hard drives
[11:13] <JoshMalone> hard drive won't work for her
[11:13] <Eagle_Fire> why
[11:14] <JoshMalone> gonna wind up with two many eventually
[11:14] <JoshMalone> I like to keep data on as many types of media as possible :)
[11:15] <Eagle_Fire> right
[11:16] <Eagle_Fire> if you really want to keep it forever
[11:16] <Eagle_Fire> you can found an ISP where people get credit for letting you use their HD space
[11:16] <Eagle_Fire> and create a huge redundant storage network out of it
[11:17] <JoshMalone> lol
[11:17] <Eagle_Fire> or just contract with an existing ISP
[11:17] * JoshMalone  feels pretty safe with 2 DVDs, plus the original film
[11:17] <JoshMalone> but I'll prolly copy the DVDs to tape as well :)
[11:17] <Eagle_Fire> but you could feel safer
[22:54] <Inc> do you guy's have any really good pmp players?
[22:55] <Inc> or how long till the next generation one is released I should say
