04:32.05janobork!
04:32.06jano:D
04:32.21janotalk to me about film!
04:32.36janoI shot my first roll of film since high school, what am I supposed to do with it now?
04:56.48learnerheh
04:56.52learneryou serious? :)
04:56.58learnerget it developed :P
04:57.34learnertake it to a photo studio somewhere that develops film
04:58.19learneravoid the pharmacies, walmarts, costco's, and supermarket development places unless you have no alternative or are in a rush
05:03.34learnerritz is one of the best "big chain" developers, often found in malls -- it's a total crap-shoot for the mom n' pop shops.
05:04.25learnerIf they sell professional film (i.e. they have a refridgerator with "the good stuff" in it), you can rarely every go wrong -- but you'll be paying triple
05:04.45learnerritz is about double the "rest", but usually well worth it if the roll has any value
05:05.51learnerI've yet to find a good place for digitals from negatives (photocd's suck ass, as you probably noticed from mine) -- at least a shop you don't have to send your film to
05:08.26janohmm
05:08.29janothanks :)
05:08.47janothere's another format of film->digital, not photocd
05:08.51janopicturecd?
05:09.01janothere's picture cd and photocd.. one is good, other is bad
05:09.06janoi think
05:09.23janoi looked at film scanners earlier, they're not as good as I was hoping
05:09.29janoscanning film has it's problems :(
05:09.40janounless you go expense
05:12.23learnerboth are just jpeg's on cd .. which are super sub optimal to what a scanner can give you
05:12.49learneryeah, I used to love jhu's forray of scanners.. used them all the time
05:12.56learner10K nikon negative scanners
05:13.52learneri found the negative scanner at work finally just a couple weeks ago
05:14.04learnerburied under a load of crap layed the gem
05:14.29learnerold scsi interface .. had to really hunt for cables
05:14.48learnernow i need to find a machine that can drive it
05:15.33learneri'm either going to have to load up a fresh windows box and install drivers or plug and pray for support in linux
05:15.58learnermy new raid upgrade is up and running! =) ..
05:16.01learnersweet performance
05:16.04learnerbest on this box yet
05:16.19learner53MB/s sustained writes from /dev/zero
05:16.48learnerprevious best was my new seagate.. came in at almost 40MB/s
05:17.19learnermakes my older drives that only do 20-something seem slowly silly now
05:18.03learnerI'll be able to sync the entire drive of the new server to the raid array now
