Photo Times

So when you take digital pictures, it records the date and the time with the picture. I'm a little slightly obsessive compulsive about the settings on the date and time and when my two cameras are both set for different time zones and neither of those are the correct time zone it tends to annoy me.

So from now on I'm keeping my camera's set to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) so it'll always be consistent. If you don't know, this is the time zone where the clocks are set at "0", for example when you set you clocks to EST (Eastern Standard) it sometimes says "-5" hours, that's 5 hours off from GMT. I'm not sure how this will work for me in the long run but for now it seems like it will be consistent for me.

The biggest problem I see for now it is that other devices like my camera phone will till record in the current time zone. But since its a phone, the time on that should always be correct, unless of course I'm traveling in a country where I don't have reception and the clock would be wrong...

Made it to Costa Rica

Well, we made it to Costa Rica! Found an Internet cafe so I wanted to hop on-line quick. A few e-mails and posts queued up but not much to post yet (sorry).

We've done some traveling by 4x4 and some mini-adventures trying to get some cash. He's a photo of the beach (form Mal Pais?) click to enlarge. I'll post more later....

Yes, I'm still talking about Twitter

I thought this word cloud from what I've been tweeting was kinda cool. I created it at TweetCloud.com. These whow the most common words I've tweeted, bigger means I've tweeted more.

I'm on vacation right now, and I do miss Twitter a little bit. I want that constant stream of information. I also have been thinking of things to tweet and I can't.

I can compose a full blog post when I don't have 'net access (and I can even backdate it) but I can't with twitter. I probably won't use twitter at all while I'm out of the country. I'm not going to use what little internet access I have on that, we'll see, maybe I'd find it useful in a different way.

Had a lot of trouble getting photos up and on-line. Internet is not the best here...

Here's the first few photos (with descriptions).

I'll try to get more up later...
