…. well, this is another way to do it. My weekend was spent upgrading a branch office – the server rack is new and the ladder was how we plugged things in. Not much of a day for getting out for photos though.

Look what we found parked beside our Sudbury office! These are the blades for some wind turbines that are going up near Manitoulin Island. The photo is a quick pano with my iPhone 5s.

This is the inside of the Dell Poweredge Server that my weekend is based around. Took a quick photo before tossing this in my car for the drive to Sudbury.

My Nikon branded MC-36 remote release cable / intervalometer is falling apart. I don’t blame it after a good decade of use but Nikon is still a bit out there when it comes to replacing it. Seems a remote release for a D800 should cost $200 according to Nikon. Or, I can pair up a smartphone with a $30 Triggertrap (that’s my old iPhone pictured) and get the same functions, plus sound trigger, vibration trigger, timelapse, HDR metering, distance lapse and more. Yeah easy sell. This also packs smaller, since I tend to have my phone anyway.

Quick iPhone capture through the glass at my local Tim Horton’s. As a Canadian I’ve only known these by one name – a TimBit. The Tim Horton’s mascot used to be one of these with eyes and feet too. This particular batch is the seasonal "pumpkin spice" TimBit.

Actually the phone works perfectly. It’s been passed over for newer touch tone phones and smartphones but one can still use a good old rotary dial telephone if they are determined enough!

Found myself inside another Apple Store today and couldn’t resist the colourful ad they have out front for the 5c.

A view of the path as it winds it’s way into Georgetown from Glen Williams. Best viewed in autumn, so about … now.
