Hot and wiry. Also, camera/software problems.

Today was hotter inside the building than out, and involved lots of wiring. Passed pretty quickly, though, as it's wont to do when one is busy.

However, my camera (Nikon Coolpix 3100) and software (Nikon View 6.0.1, upgraded to 6.1.1) has progressed from:
1) Transferring files from camera to computer correctly in all ways but allowing selection of individual photos to transfer. (Several times since I got it.)
to 2) Freezing the software when told to transfer photos from the software end, and crashing the software when told to transfer from the camera end
to 3) Totally ignoring that the camera is connected, even after reinstalling the software.

So I'm waiting for Nikon tech support to get back to me.

Ah yes, I suppose I should post this, as it's been sitting behind several windows while I read webcomics and cleaned dishes.

Oh yeah! I got a Hanukkah card from reverend_dave today! :)

Re: The card - I hope you like it. Sorry you didn't get it until 2004, did I address it wrong?

Re: the camera - Have you tried using iPhoto or Image Capture to access the Nikon?

Whoa, wait. Did I just have some massive brain hemorrhage and hallucinate that you own an Apple?

Erm.

Well, if you actually do, you may be interested in this Australian Mac user's plea for friends.

nope you were correct. He actually owns a 15" powerbook. I'll leave it to him to fill in the blanks about specs etc.

Nope, as Matt said, I have a 15" Powerbook, Superdrive, 1.25GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD--basically, the stock high-end model of the 15". You must've missed me raving about it. ;)

Nope, it just takes a while for APO mail to arrive--that's the sacrifice in saving on postage. :) When did you send it?


iPhoto didn't recognize the camera either, though it does now that I've changed transfer modes. Never used Image Capture, though it seems to like it in the new mode as well.
