SDS

of posters here?

you would need to elaborate on that. One element that will change are the ticket ads inside the gray bar. I hate the gray background there, but I haven't figured out what to do instead...

interesting. I received more comments that the design was too bland (which prompted me to add a few visual cues like the small icons) than too busy. These comments were from people seeing the live demo site. I am striving for a clean, tasteful look. Hopefully I can strike a balance between minimalists and graphic artists.

just some lightly held opinions... .

20D is 5 frames/sec. If you are serious about this stuff - we can talk on the phone. I research the hell out of this stuff, and well, I have 2 degrees in optics, so that helps.

Well, I was almost laid off in May, but got pulled back in. However, Iraq is more stable than our group right now, so I have decided to take the Web Development skills I have and take the next 10 steps towards self-employment if it comes to it. Business cards, domain name, new hardware, software, taking on new clients, etc... I go to bed at 2:00am on most days. I figure I need to pour a LOT of time and effort into TBD/SS to get them up to par with new web standards in order to start building my portfolio.

linky?

here is the deal on that. the rebel xsi takes 3.5 frames/sec. That is marginal for sports photography. Very marginal. The 40D takes 6-6.5/sec and that may mean the difference between getting the shot and missing it. Here are the shots I took with my XTi at 3 frames/sec: http://swingshiftmedia.com/twins/twins.html You'll see the ball in several frames if you look through the photos, but imagine some of the sequences if there were 2x the number of images: http://swingshiftmedia.com/twins/twins-Pages/Image18.html (this is my son btw)

well, no. I have the drive. but haven't tried a recovery yet. If the posts are recoverable - then I would have to put up a separate forum as an archive.

There are more sections below, including a Sabres section. Maybe some RSS feeds from popular blogs, etc... will be included. Maybe stats. Not sure yet how much room is left.. The header will propagate to all the sites, so that there is a common navigation theme across all sites.

Not sure if I want to give the URL out now as I'm still heavily in development, but here is a screenshot: http://www.twobillsdrive.com/redesign.png Just an FYI for those who are interested in such things.

Well, that is the problem right there. It isn't a fair price at all and there is a reason why nobody else sells it at that price. Also, while the Canon 40D has its merits - it is not unreasonable to consider the new Rebel Xsi. It is a "lower" model, but it is newer and has some features not found in the 40D. I have the Canon 17-55 IS and I am happy with it. It isn't sealed, so if you plan to go to the beach a lot - you might want to look elsewhere. You can read until you are blue in the face about lens quality, but that is like reading about audio equipment. Most people are full of sh-- and a lot of great shots can be taken with a lot of different setups. The best thing to do w/ any lens is to download some sample images and ask yourself if you would be happy with that shot. Most of the times you would say yes.

For verification: http://www.stadiumwall.com/amazon.png $37.50 referral fees from the books. $36.60 other referral fees. $37.50 TBD match. I will be cutting a check this weekend in the amount of: $111.60. Thank you to everyone who bought something through those links.

What about donating the money here: http://www.bgcbuffalo.org/

update: 106 items ordered. 98 have shipped. $34.34 have been earned in referral fees from the books. TBD chips in $34.34... Another $35.87 came in from other items ordered. Grand total to date: $104.55

I'm pretty sure that's not the only time that guy has had that facial expression...

No... Actually, anything you buy through those links counts.

just an update, IIRC from this morning, 49 books have been sold and 69 items all together....

Brush up on your Swahili - we landed some spots next week.

Shall I issue a correction? I should have said before TST was widely available.

the room is offered through a 3rd party. Your TBD login is not valid. Registering your name with them only has the benefit of someone not posing as you, but you have to login every 3 weeks or the username gets dropped.

do you see a picture of his book? Is your browser set somehow to block iframes?

I've upped it to a full 100% match. I forgot about the tax implications, so I upped the contribution.

Just click on the book or the button that says "Buy from Amazon".
