Curious to see how your fleet r shaping up down there, would love to see the machines and see what were up against



I am probably in enough trouble for blabbing as much as I have about IG.

As far as the Rotwang fleet Reboot and Bender are in bits for some maintenance and are almost exactly like Brisbane.

I will try and get Rob to update Banes picture, I did ask him to.

Brett wants to take a fresh picture of all 3 IG’s together but he will probably wont the new one painted first, shiny stainless and clear pollycarb isn’t his Style. Smile

Yes Embarassed

I was bored late last night whilst waiting for some hundreds of gigs to move around, and I came across the IG Photos in the phone, decided to upload one and....

If it annoys people I can change it back, but a real browser has a "stop gif animations" function to turn them off if they get too annoying anyway.

Subtle animations are ok with me. I've never complain about Jakes or Ali's etc. Ones that look like flashing Banner-Adverts make the pages hard to read and piss me off.

Slightly OT Brett, but did you make that scanner off a kit or was it some home brewed thing? Smile

I have built them in the past, but for $15, it was easier to buy one of these

This guy in Australia supposedly stocks them.

I'll have to buy another one now after getting it poked in the eye by Bane.. Wink

that happened after it was "moded" removing a few LED's for some reason or other.

check out jaycars knightrider scanners perhaps.
might be a bit easier to grab hold of.

Only problem with the scanner is that Cylons are the worst shots in the Galaxy next to Vogon’s. Smile

Nice idea with the animated gif but there is one thing annoying about it and thats simply that your background images seem to be out of registration. When the light moves to one side the background moves causing it to be a bit jerky. Apart from that looking good.

Yes, I know. Its because the video was shot on a hand held camera phone.

If I can be bothered I could go in and correct the positioning of the 20-odd frames manually, but I might just wait until I fix it and take some more video.

Wouldn't your editing software have image stabilization?
