    Mac + Nikon, software?

    Can't remember if iPhoto comes with Lion (I'm pretty sure it does), but if you have it, have you tried it ? Pretty much the easiest way to import, edit (lightly) and store/organise photos. Links to email, flickr, bookface and other things with a click or a drag/drop. Couldn't be easier IMO.

    1st Year Up Already, That Was Quick!!

    You've been a busy man !! Amazed how few people seem to have brushed past your project thread :dapprove: I've been waiting for you to get a roof rack and stick your matching bike on the top of the white one TBQFH ! :rasp:

    Canon 1000D compared to 400D

    1000D was the bottom of the range, and has been replaced in the last year or so with the 1100D. 400D was replaced with the 450D about 3/4 years ago, which has been replaced with the 500/550D. They'll both take better pictures than your iPhone, but in terms of D-SLRs they're a bit 'old'. As...

    Trophy V Flamer

    Do it Will. .. the colour will save people having to ask if you're female from now on.

    Fitting new car stereo

    Maybe the unit has come from an OEM rather than an 'off the shelf' part ?! I've not seen connectors like that on any sub before. I wouldn't want to put much power through what looks like doorbell wire, but I'm no expert. Regarding the stalk adaptor, I've no idea. I only mentioned the HU in...

    Trophy V Flamer

    Both mint as expected with you, Steve ! Next to one another, the colours on them both look awful. :S On their own they both look smart !! Is the flamer up for sale, or is that yours for a while ?

    Freezing MBP

    Anyone still having issues with this ? I turned off the 'put hard drives to sleep when possible' in System Preferences > Energy Saver, and it seems to have sorted it out as I haven't noticed it in a while. Not sure if it's costing me an extra 3p a year in electricity or what now.. but ho hum.

    Fitting new car stereo

    Ah that explains that then.. As for the sub... no idea. Do any of those have (+ve, ground, remote etc) on them ?! I despise eBay !

    Opinions please

    Go drive them both... then make your own mind up. Unless you're asking 'cars I could buy for £5k and I do 30k a year' type questions, no one on here is going to tell you how to make your mind up ! I personally love Exiges and don't really 'get' the V6 but I've driven neither so my opinion is...

    Fitting new car stereo

    What plugs have you bought !? I've never fitted one to any car that has required additional plugs/leads. It's the easiest thing in the world. Take old one out, put new one in. If you can't manage to swap a HU out, you need to wonder if you were dropped on your head as a child. No idea what...

    God damn street racers... Nail. Head. Lesson learnt !

    Where is the 200's sweet spot??

    Do you drive it hard, or has the last 2000 miles been tickled around town ? Engines need to bed in properly. If you pussyfoot about, they'll just polish the cylinder walls with the piston rings and you'll never get anywhere with it. Once warm (oil, not water!! there's a difference), be nice...

    Need a Remote Shutter release thingy for Canon 1000D! Help?

    Little as poss or you'll end up with dotted trails... probably 1 sec.

    head unit crossover does the clio have one as standard?

    Cut the low frequencies via your HU (if it will do that) and plonk a sub in the boot, and it'll sound 100x better. The front set up is pretty impressive at doing 'very loud' with anything over 200Hz !

    Need a Remote Shutter release thingy for Canon 1000D! Help?

    Read the info ;) No1: [20x 30 second exposures .. some light temperature editing but basically as shot !] No2: Probably the same but something like 90 shots, I've no idea TBH.

    Need a Remote Shutter release thingy for Canon 1000D! Help?

    It's easy once you work out what's going on. First attempt using new remote and StarStaX software by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Attempt 3 tonight.. by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr If you need to know anything, just ask :rasp:

    What could this mean?

    Reverse / 1st .. any gear, doesn't matter. It's the compression that stops it turning, not the gear you're on ;)
  19. TheEvilGiraffe

    What could this mean?

    Either that or you have zero compression in any cylinder, meaning someone has stolen your plugs, or worse, the whole head. You'd probably notice as you'd never get to any destinations though...

    Need a Remote Shutter release thingy for Canon 1000D! Help?

    Which one did you go for ? The more complicated one from Amazon ? If so, I've got one of those. Brilliant bit of kit for star trails etc ! If you're going to stacking, then I recommend you download this for your OS: http://www.markus-enzweiler.de/software/software.html Shoot in jpg, smash...

    What could this mean?

    Foot on the clutch or not in gear properly.

    What petrol?

    LOL fair enough. Anyone who does know about these things, will it take a lap of Silverstone to be running 101 most effectively or will it take 100 miles to increase ignition ?

    What petrol?

    If the car has switchable maps, you will benefit from it by telling it straight up that you're running 101. Not sure if the ECU keeps advancing until it sees det ? Fred might know...

    New Laptop so fresh iTunes..

    Not sure if software doing what you want is allowed to be mentioned on here, so instead.. why not Google your question, and see what you find ;)

    1.2 8 valve progress thread :)

    Now then .. sorry for sounding negative .. but this is what I see: A standard, nice car, which would have been fine left alone but maybe with some nice OEM alloys and a subtle drop would look a tad better - will instead basically have the steel wheels removed, and some others put on .. then...

    Full r****d guide to Macs?

    Put any files you want onto the Ext-HDD.. then plug that into the Mac. Drag/drop the files onto a new folder on your desktop in one go. Then when they're all on there, file them accordingly on the Mac (movies, pictures, music, documents etc.) which will take seconds. If you do them in...

    172 head skim

    Surely the first question is - why do you want to / need to skim the head ?
