Easter week end meets

[Glen]

Better yet, we could take the cardboard cut-out version of the D2x to a Westfield!

[birddog114]

I'll just make a Flash version of the D2x for myself. I'll never know the difference (I'll believe my own lies, provided I've drunk enough before I tell myself it...).

We could make a cardboard cut-out shell of a D2x and mount it over the D70 for her!

Leigh,
When can I have this prototype?

[huynhie]

Just cut out the D2X ad in the photographic magazine, then connect it to your op-tech camera strap. Once this is done hang it around your neck

[Nnnnsic]

I'll be taking pictures of your D2x tomorrow, Birddog! Hopefully... Saturday... how thick a stock of cardboard can printers print on?! Lol.

[Jenno]

Ive already emailed my nomination direct to Birddog for Saturday

From the numbers so far it looks like it may truely be a mini-or macro meet.

[Matt. K]

Put me down for 2 Birdie!

[Killakoala]

I'll be there Saturday. There's 'something' i need to pick up anyway.

As i have no family in Sydney (or NSW) i will feel the need to be with my 'psuedo-family' instead otherwise i will feel lonely.

Geez... you're too quick for me birddog.. in the time it took me to post, wait the few seconds for me to be able to edit the post and change to "I'll be there".. you'd already posted.. Count me in as a Yes

[joet]

Chryssine will bring me on Saturday if I promise to be well behaved and write a report for Onyx. (Sorry about the last one... have been a little off-colour health-wise)

Possibly No. 1 Grandson as well

[birddog114]

Thanks gleff and joet, welcome your grandson!

[Onyx]

Get well soon Joe. Wishing you a quick and painless recovery.

Plus since Stubbsy is out of petrol money, someone's gunna have to fill in as unofficial member's mugshot photographer in his absence.

[wile_E]

Sorry birddog, unfort I'll have to give this weekend's meet a miss. Wish I could be there...

joet - congrats on the upcoming grandson!

[Nnnnsic]

I think we're going to be there on Saturday. Dad's already informed me that we're not going tomorrow morning.

I'm sitting here playing games I got from EB. One is going back (it's terrible... it's honestly one of the most boring games I've played... ever ... great 3d engine though...) and the other is one I'll probably take back because it's far, far, far too complex for me.

But Birdy will probably understand it. 'Tis called Lock On: Modern Air Combat... and CHRIST... the sounds and cockpit designs are beautiful... geeze... if I could figure out this game, there could be some (more) fun at the Sunday meets.

I just need to get it running on a D70.

Wait.. hold on... the minimum requirements call for at least a D2X with at least 1.1gb of space.

[birddog114]

Leigh,
Soon all the 3D game can be play on the DSLR camera as new Dxxx or current D2x with new firmware u/g, This helps the boring photogs kill their times while they're waiting to shoot.  BTW, I have new toy call TVIX:
http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng

You can install 400GB hdd in it and download, copy, transfer ton of movies, music, MP3, photos into it and play on your stereo, in car, out door or also acting as your storage device.
You'll see it tomorrow at Mr Birddog's Toy Store. Life's alway with new toys, will help you to enjoy the best part of living

wile_E

Thanks for your congrats, but I actually have three grandsons ranging in age from 3, 5 and 18

It's the big one that has expressed an interest

[Nnnnsic]

I like the idea of the TVIX... but it needs a screen...

[Hlop]

Sorry to tell you that but I'm not coming again Hope to see you next mini meet at Birddog's

[Glen]

Birddog, looks like I will be missing the Easter meets, hope all have a good time.

[fozzie]

Almost signed up a new member on 'Easter Saturday Mini Meet', but he/she took to the sky:

[birddog114]

fozzie,
Is it with the Nikkor AF-S 300/f.4 + TC-1.7 ?

[fozzie]

Birddog114,

Just your sweet AF-S 300mm f/4. Are you shore it is still in your lens cabinet .

[birddog114]

fozzie,
It's there! and as I told you: they all have DOT and the alarm didn't go off when you left

[joet]

Mini meet Saturday 26/3...Report for Onyx.

I know, I know, it's really late

Roll call : gstark, nnnnsic, killakoala, mattk, huyhnie, gleff, jenno, rick

Special guest appearance : fozzie but he was upstaged by Birddog's D2x and, to a lesser extent, the TVIX

Later my No. 1 grandson Brenton and his mate were dropped off by his father (my No. 2 son if you like keeping score, Onyx). Their reaction - very cool - yes they come from Raymond Terrace and some of the Sydney teen idiom hasn't got that far North

Usual comparisons, fozzie doing some shopping and Birddog being a great host as usual.

Bet you didn't have as much fun on the mainland as we did at Belmore

[fozzie]

Joe,

Two thing you left out, was the seed he planted to buy other glass, surprise, surprise ie AF 200mm f/4 D IF-ED, AF-S 300mm f/4 D IF-ED and AF 85mm f/1.4 D IF. Light Macro equipment 'Gitzo' G1027 plus 'RRS' BH-25 Pro. BTW: I had a superb time while in Sydney, thank you to everyone .
