The New Lens
Fri, 06/10/2005 - 06:09 — deadprogrammer
I went ahead and bough myself a rather expensive 100-400 zoom lens for my camera. I am still kind of thinking that I should not have any equipment that expensive (and heavy), but now I find it rather hard to bring myself to return the damn thing. I can afford it, but I still feel guilty about it. I took it out for a spin and here's a sampling of pictures taken in a couple of humid, hazy days without the use of tripod: The sign on top of the UBS building used to say something else: Running Themes100 Views of the Empire State Building

I bet that thing would portray my "wang" to advantage. You do portraits, right? I'll bring it right over.
Is it a Wang computer or a calculator?
Which lens is it?
BTW, your secret code entry thingy repeated the same code twice.
It's a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM. Expensive as hell.
The code thing as well as the whole commenting thing is pretty crappy and is probably costing me a lot of comments. I need to rewrite big chunks of it. The code is eliminating 100% of comment spam though.
Ok, I'll grit my jealous teeth, but then I've only just bought the 350D so the lens will have to wait, especially as the car now needs (at a minimum) a new cylinder head gasket.
As for spam I rejoice in my obscurity that I don't suffer from spam in the journal. Actually, even I Just Heard doesn't get very much spam at all, the occasional very odd comment but nothing about casinos.
Which reminds me I have some domains to go blacklist...
It's not about obscurity - as soon as the spammmer-crawler will find your site it will fill it with poker and viagra posts that are a pain to remove. My mt.cgi is still hammered by bots despite the fact that it's not there anymore.
It maybe that CoreBlog is just too rare as to have been automated as yet.
Yeah, that's probably it. Spammers mostly target MovableType and Wordpress.
The UBS Building used to be Paine Webber. Excellent photos!
