Thirtyone in 1two3ty1

Celebrations at 31. :)

This marks the end of 1two3ty1. My special thanks to Aparna, Ganesh, Roopa, Siva, Arvind, Ashwin, Sami, Santhosh, Sujai & Nirek for all the support & enthusiasm. Many withdrew during the course of the challenge, but thats ok. I know, you have valid reasons to back. :)

In the last month, I have explored most of the modes available in my camera. Learned a lot of techniques, including the macro (which is trivial but important) one from Aparna. Planning to experiment with some outdoor shots. Will see how it goes.

Then, don’t forget to treat yourself, for all good job. I picked up 2 of the Cadbury Bournvilles. Have fun & enjoy.

Eye-Fi

I’m truly excited on seeing Eye-Fi. Its a SD card with an in-built WiFi. Which means it can automatically upload pictures from your digial camera to your computer, as soon as you bring it into your home network. It can even push those pictures to your favorite photo-sharing/printing/blogging/social-networking site. May be even to a private backup site. No need of cables & no waits. Just a 5 minute long one-time-initial-system setup, is needed.

This is a wonderful extension, as this enables to WiFi any device you hold. Gone are the days where WiFi is just for networking your laptop.

I would like to see such a card for Phones which support expandable memory. This might be a little tricky, as in general, the slot sizes are for Micro SD cards. For older phones, how about adding WiFi into SIM cards? Will take a while for their WiFi circuits to scale down. May be, I can accept with some extension chords that can stick on to the casing of the device to WiFi it. Folks at ThinFone to ponder upon. :)

TV volume at 30. Btw, why is this called a Volume? Does this displace something equivalent?

A prepended 0 is a value for nothing. :)
