As an aside from listerning to the TWIT network I have been listerning to TWIP (This Week in Photography) It is hosted by Scott Bourne and Alex Lindsay. This is a great place to get detailed info on shooting tips and glimpses into the pro side of the industry.
I know it is about to be superceded by the 50D but I forgot to menssion before that I have now purchaced a 40D. I have had it about 3 months now and I am verry happy with it. I currently have 2 lenses the kit lens a 17-85 IS USM and a 70-200 f4 L USM lens that I have picked up second hand from a colegue. I am looking to get a 50mm f1.8 in the coming weeks and possibly upgrade to the 70-200 f2.8 L IS USM in the coming year.
I have ordered my key now will be with me in two weeks so I can have a proper play then. But I have been thinking. This device doesn’t work if you can just buy one anonymously and create an identity with it and use it for authentication. All it is really good for a single user is for adding to existing accounts on systems and using the key as a single authentication device through the central auth system (openID). Other than that the key needs to be issued by a party and tied to there system and issued in a way so that it is securely placed into the hands of the correct owner for multi factor authentication. in this method for each system you need authentication to you would need a separate key ie for access to a bank account with one firm and access to a credit card held by another firm. One key will not do all. What this system needs is a central authentication system that can be trusted to some level. A bit like Thawte did with ssl certs all those years ago.
Ok I have just herd about the new authentication device from Yubico it is called the Yubikey and it is verry simple it is a usb keyboard in a pen drive that sends a single instance key for authentication anyway I am pressed for time at the mo and this Portugees keyboard is all wrong. But the top and the bottom is havea look it is all opensource they just sell the hardware I have bought mine to play with. you should too. I will postmore when I have had a play but read theresite is is verry cool in the way that it works.
This is a quick tip for travelers.I recently went to Portugal intact I am still here. Anyway if you want to skip the now massive queues at passport control get an e passport asap as Portugal has loads of e control points like 5ish and only 2 regular only one of which is for eu citizens. By the way e passports have a chip behind the photo and an icon on the front. Anyway enjoy the nice weather I will…
I went to Belfast this week. Nothing to interesting with that but.. When I got on the plain that was to take me there the pilot instructed every one that the plane would have to be rebooted as there was a computer on board that had gone wrong. It took 3 full reboots of the plane to sort it involving all lights to be turned off (full cold starts) before the TomTom for the air would come back on again.
This is the first article I have writen on the iPod touch. I have jailed the device and I can’t beleve how cool it is now. The installed is amazing I only which apple had done it, who knows how good it would have been then. I didn’t use the jailbreakme site though I did try. It just didn’t want to play ball for me. Instead I used the more long winded original way. I will leave this post a little short as I am not that quick on this key board just yet though it is very good.
Last FM is the well not new but now legal play what you want internet radio station. And it has its own client so you can play outside of the browser. This is a feature I have always wanted from Pandora. On top of that the client comes in several flavors Windows Apple and Linux and if you use a Debian derivative distro you can install and maintain via apt. Very impressive.
Pandora the custom internet radio company, will be blocking the UK from accessing the station as of the 15th of Jan 08. This is due to licensing issues with the music companies not going well. The UK was the only country out side the US that was able to get the system and there was some thought that the UK would let the add based company stream there radio. But this is not to be the case. There is also concern that the station might be forced off the wires in the US as well in the future. If you haven’t used Pandora before I urge you to have a look before you are unable to again.
Yet another nail in the media revolution coffin. Lets hope Jobs will cheer every one up next week.
