You need a computer to take a movie? That makes things a lot more difficult. I see why all the time lapse videos are of people's living rooms now.

-1 point on this article. They really skipped over the most important part, the "intervalometer". I still have no idea how to do this on my Rebel XTi. You have to buy some additional device or is it a setting in the camera?

Wow, does anyone actually use the windows firewall? Seems pretty pointless if you have to turn it off. I'd recommend a hardware one, along with vigilant updates on windows.

Zen and the Art of not buying stuff from stores that track you. My next book.

This is what, the 10th diy laptop stand? I get the point, you can use practically anything to prop up your little laptop.

This is horrible advice to someone looking to save money.

Or, you can just upload movies at [blibs.com] and it instantly turns it into an animated gif. It also automatically drops frames, depending on the length of the movie, to ensure a small enough gif. Warning though, animated GIFs are much larger in file size.
