Good luck, be safe.

Congratulations on the business! I'm currently going to school in Boston Massachusetts at Northeastern University. I'm going into my third year of BS in Computer Science with a dual major in Multimedia Studies. Back when I used to post I was starting to get into photography and I've gotten quite into with that. Heres a photo study I did on abstract spaces: http://www.projectuni.com/oleyb/AbstractSpaces/[^] During the summers I've been working at a local real estate office, one of the larger ones in the area doing web design and general IT work. From my time there I'm starting to get a lot of job requests from other local businesses wanting websites and business cards etc. I'm actually going to be teaming up with an older sister of one of my friends and starting a small design business. She enjoys the creative aspect but doesn't have any interest in doing coding or any of that so we will work together. It should be fun. I also picked up mountain unicycling as a fun little sport! It's a blast, heres a video I made a few weeks ago: http://vimeo.com/1409682[^]

Thank you Anna! Its nice to see you are still around.

I already can! I start programming just prior to the fall of MFC and began school around the reign of .NET and emergence of Linux on the desktop. :)

Wikipedia tells me you speak of star trek and 80s horror films? Ahah, no, neither of those things mean anything to me.

Oh thats excellent to hear, congratulations Nish. Even if I am a few years late. Its fascinating to see how much the technology has grown as well, having been away from it for so long. I remember the very first C# beta, oh wow, how it has grown since then. Its interesting to see how this kind of stuff more or less sticks with you though. After not having touched C# or any of .NET since the release of Visual Studio 2003, a few days ago I was able to download Visual C# Express 2008 (Free? Awesome!) and in about thirty minutes write a screen saver for a local real estate company which queries a remote SQL server and dynamically displays random waterfront properties at specified intervals. Java is a great powerful tool and all, but I certainly couldn't build something so involved so quickly, even while using it at school, let alone after not touching it for five years. Its interesting to see how biased everyone is at the university though, the majority of the professors are *nix and Mac developers and wouldn't touch a Windows machine with a 10 foot pole. I suppose I can understand that though, given their backgrounds.

I joined this community about six and a half years ago when I had just turned fifteen, I posted quite a bit back in the early days and I think I even had gold status when the criteria was different. At that age programming was just a fun hobby and when I got my first girlfriend I began spending significantly less time programming and here at CP. At age twenty one and in college for computer science now and with a job as a web developer I'm starting to spend more and more time browsing around here. I remember everyone getting excited about two million members and now theres over five. So many memories. The site has really grown and not just in members, back in the old days you would have been scoffed at for asking where the Linux section was. There was none, for this was a website dedicated to Microsoft technologies after all!:rolleyes: Its incredible to come back now, after almost a quarter of my life since joining and see so many of the same faces - Christian Graus, Shog, Colin, and so on. Is Nish still around? Its amazing how fast time flies.

Thats the right process and it's 1:1 but I don't mind, it gives me one more view of the footage before I start editing.

I use a firewire cable but it is possible to capture to the PC using HDMI.

While recording to flash memory is really helpful I actually just purchased an HD Canon HV20. The HV20 records to MiniDV and from all the stuff I've been reading, MiniDV tapes still have a relatively strong resolution advantage over flash and HDD camcorders and I get to avoid the AVCHD mess. You can find the HV20 really cheap due to the HV30 coming out recently, I got mine for US$530 from Circuit City. I think you can find similar deals on the HF10 which is really similar to the HF100 but doesn't have the internal memory. I'd rather have a second memory card and save a couple hundred dollars than have internal flash memory to be truthful. At least this way you could use that second card in your other gear too. Some stores don't advertise these older models on their websites so you have to call in to see if they still have them in stock and if they will give you a deal but its definitely worth it. The imaging systems in the older and newer models are identical, its mostly just cosmetic and other minor changes. Good luck!

Happy birthday! I'll be twenty on Tuesday. :)

For some reason, even after the first sentence I still thought you were talking about an actual mouse. :laugh:

Personally i'd like the 2 gig MobiBlu b153. 153 hours of battery life may come in handy, and I also like the fact that its not exactly a pretty mp3 player, less likely to be stolen next to an Ipod. Here: http://www.mobibluamerica.com/b153.html[^] -- modified at 23:24 Monday 21st August, 2006

I've got a question which should be fairly straight forward. Say there exists a small business, and one of the employees develops the company's website using their own images and graphics. If the employee leaves the company do they have the right to have all of those images and photographs removed from the design of the site? Signature under construction.

I agree, I've had the camera for about a year now and I'm very pleased with it. Signature under construction.

Ah, and after two years of not visiting CP I've returned. It's great to see that most of the same people are still here. Hello again everyone, although I don't expect anyone to remember me it's nice to be back. Signature under construction.

Thank you, critiques are welcomed as well. :) Signature under construction.

Ahaha :) The charts are like a nice bed time story. "...then CListCtrl and CEditView lived happily ever after." Signature under construction.

I've managed to do some decent stuff with my non slr kodak dx6490. I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion. My Gallery[^] Signature under construction.

I'm 17 and get paid $6.00 an hour with 17 hours a week. I really dont think the 20D is an option for me. However, that really would be my choice. Signature under construction.
