@Jonjunkaccount: Problem with using CHDK is that you really want to trigger off of IR (so that branches blowing in the wind don't trigger it, but a warm-blooded critter does).

@Please Help Me: nah. just that CO2 gives me the runs.

uh, why just for succulents? i'm'a putta woody plant in that shizzle...

@Please Help Me: "Cement manufacturing releases CO2 in the atmosphere both directly when calcium carbonate is heated, producing lime and carbon dioxide,[14] and also indirectly through the use of energy if its production involves the emission of CO2. The cement industry is the second largest CO2 emitting industry…

@TyroPrate: I like the idea of boomerang, but i need something that works with Thunderbird. Boomerang has an Outlook plugin, but no plans to develop one for TB. :-(

@battra92: horrible - sorry to hear of your situation! I'm all for digitizing, etc, but I really do think the digital dark age thing is something to worry about - to a large extent anyway.

I love playing old apple IIe games. Sweet emulator here: [applewin.berlios.de] You can download all sorts of old bin files to load up as floppies. You can even choose to use a Green or Amber screen. Love it.

@mynamesafad: ???

LH: Please, please, please stop telling people their warranties are only probably valid for a year!

What I…

@tgrwillki: yeah, so you have to go offline during the whole time-lapse shot? that's exactly the problem! I suppose you could change your message to the following: "Uh, sorry, I'm going to have to turn your business away cause I'm busy taking a time-lapse shot of my dog licking his *ss."

uh, who the @$! would set up time-lapse with their smartphone? ring ring - dooh!

@flinx1: right, sorry, mispoke. need to get it up above 15V with batteries, and then regulate down.
