Video endurance test

Did a test a couple of weeks ago to see how long our two cameras could record any sort of video. I think the limiting factor ended up being the battery, not the capacity, since both cameras had 2 GB of room.

Lumix 320×240px 10fps lasted 1h51m @ 1.1 GB
Sony 160×120px 30fps lasted 3h35m @ 280 MB

Went running yesterday

It was really nice out, so I went for a run yesterday. Started out warming up with a couple of laps around the track at Laurier, then headed along Guildwood to the path down to the lake shore.

I really like running along the shore of Lake Ontario because of the nice breeze off the lake. This assumes I am hot from running, which I usually am by the time I get to the lake.

I used the iPod/Nike thing for the second time ever. The first time was on the cruise ship during March break. I just stick the tab part under the laces of my right shoe, and keep Luisa’s pink iPod Nano with the pluged-in part in my pocket.

I actually carry my 60 GB iPod in my hand and listen to it while running. A pox on whomever it was at Apple who decided that hard disk based iPods would not be able to work with the iPod/Nike thing. Now I end up carrying a whole extra iPod, albeit only a nano.

I posted several screenshots of my stats from the two runs to Flickr, grabbed from the iPod/Nike site.

Michael

Today is Michael’s 17th birthday. I’m sure he wants everyone to know, so be sure to tell everyone you know (even if they don’t know Michael).

Today William, Mona, Iain and Ria came for a visit all the way from Mountain View, California. They were greeted with [!!]snow, cool temperatures, and a group of friends..

We had alerted people to visit with William, Mona and family, and they descended upon our humble abode. During the course of this, many pictures were taken. You can see my pictures either on tnir, or on Flickr. You can also see John’s pictures, and Debbie’s pictures.

At Luisa’s request, I’ve disabled the posting of daily twitter digests. Instead, you can see recent twitters in the sidebar to the right.

Update: I’ve also deleted all but one of the twitter posts from my blog.
