Considering what to get next:
* Camera Gear
- Sto-Fen Omnibounce Diffuser for my 430EX Flash
- Dedicated TTL Off Camera Shoe Cord
- Light Tent
- 5-in-1 Reflector

About

* PC Upgrade
Because of a bunch of coinciding component ugprades, I can’t upgrade without replacing a bunch of things (RAM and Videocard are the two main things - but a PSU is there too)
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (currently the top-of-the-line desktop CPU atm)
- 2GB RAM
- 320GB HDD (or more)
- New Video Card (Dual DVI-D and HDCP support, thanks — this card will last 2-3 upgrades, and I’ll probably get a HDCP monitor some time in the future)
- Additional HDTV Tuner. (SBS Movies rock, and I want to record them all)

All up - about $2,300.

I need to get some IDE->SATA adaptors so I can take the bunch of IDE drives and plug them into the SATA controller.

More TV Stuff

Posted in TV / Movies by Will on September 11, 2006.

This is my last post on TV stuff for the moment… honest :P

Marking Time is on again on the ABC. It’s a 2-part Miniseries written by John Doyle (although you might know him better as Roy Slaven, from the comedy/sporting duo Roy & H.G), who also wrote Changi.

For local interest, it’s been filmed in and around Singleton.

Marking Time, Part 2 is on ABC TV (and HDTV) this Saturday, September 16th 10:10PM. (Right after Rockwiz on SBS) Also available on DVD.

Someone recommended Weeds to me. I guess there’s no chance of it being shown on TV here.

Oh — and Spooks, Season 5 is starting in just a week or so! (Can’t wait!).

Battlestar Galactica, Season 3 Cast Photos

Posted in On the Intertron, Photography, TV / Movies by Will on September 11, 2006.

For any Americans, you should be watching the Battlestar Galactica Webisodes as they come out.

For the rest of us, we’ll just have to suffice with the Season 3 cast photos.

Get your fix of the Cylon hotties now.

And lets not forget the human hotties Starbuck, or Dualla either.

Movie to watch: Girls on Top 2 (Mädchen, Mädchen 2 - Loft oder Liebe)

Posted in TV / Movies by Will on September 11, 2006.

Before you ask, no, it’s not a porn film — it’s a movie I saw on SBS (no, not even SBS style soft-core porn).

It’s filmed in Munich, and is in German. Very very funny — It’s basicly a film about three girls (college students) searching for an apartment, and how each searches in their own way.
It’s kinda cool recognising all the different places they go in Munich.

Check it out - Girls on Top 2 or Mädchen, Mädchen 2 - Loft oder Liebe. (Literally: “Girl, Girl 2 - Loft of Love” — yeah, sounds like a porn film title)

(I’ve gotta go dig up a copy of the first film now…)
