It was still cool, 3°C and clear. The whole morning was sunny but in the afternoon the weather turned. First becoming gray and windy, later adding rain.

I got me an extra 100 Base/T network card and a cable from my shopping. And a new 32MB Compact Flash card. I paid about 95 Euro for it and I later compared it at Masset. Again it is the same what he has to pay, minus taxes, to the importer. At these prices I should have bought more but then I don't need more at the moment and I expect that, by the time I do need more the price is likely to be lower (or the same for a larger size).

I tried to take some pictures of the new box I am assembling (well, I started at it a few weeks ago but it slipped down the priority list). Getting a good picture of the motherboard is practically impossible while it is installed in the case because I cannot get it at an angle that prevents reflections. And I don't have enough lighting to prevent the flash going off.

As a test I made some shots of a memory card (128MB/100 no name) and the CF cards. The best shot was with the flash covered and a halogen spot on the objets. With a white background. I must try to get a few extra spots, with only one the camera always uses its flash and that always produces reflections and over exposures in close ups.

Adios
