Really great read, I really like his showing some ways to avoid bignum libraries, and also the float point gem at the end.

This posts is mainly so in the distant future I may find this gem again.

So we need a brave soul to test it for us. If keen come on over to the forum and let us know so we don’t have 100 people all trying it at once. ;-)

As I opted for reduced network speed verse overage fees, the family is making do with 64bps, which is dial-up internet really. Strangely enough mobile devices are less effected due to light weight apps, but computer based web surfing is almost out of the question.

Grrr, time to fight back.

The annoying thing is that both Media and Pages don’t have the ability for the Admin (out of the box) to say “no comments”, which is what I do to all my posts once I they get enough spam, and I don’t want to leave to open for active discussion.

So I found this support post with this code to stop Media comments:

add_filter( 'comments_open', 'no_media_comments', 10, 2 );

function no_media_comments( $open, $post_id ) {

	$post = get_post( $post_id );
// wordpress refers to images as attachments
	if ( 'attachment' == $post->post_type )
		$open = false;

	return $open;
}

I then found this page in the Codex with the ‘post->post_type’ defined and added another clause to block posts to Pages also and ended up with this:

function no_media_comments( $open, $post_id ) {

	$post = get_post( $post_id );
// wordpress refers to images as attachments
	if ( 'attachment' == $post->post_type )
		$open = false;
	if ( 'page' == $post->post_type )
		$open = false;

	return $open;
}

add_filter( 'comments_open', 'no_media_comments', 10, 2 );

Which I placed at the very bottom of my functions.php (Appearance -> Editor -> functions.php)

When I did a channel scan, SageTV stops when it get’s to the first channel with content. Yet the HDHomeRun tools scan/dispaly all channels correctly.

The work around is to add the Video source’s as normal but don’t do the channel scan, add the second video source like the first (but use same guide data), exit SageTV and stop the service. Then edit the Sage.properties file and alter the ‘mmc/dvbt_region=Christchurch@Sugarloaf‘ entry to ‘mmc/dvbt_region=‘

thus from this:

to this:

Now restart SageTV, do the channel scan, and it will complete as expected.

But don’t select ‘DVB-T Region’ menu item, otherwise you’ll have to edit the configuration above again.

We do not test <Mode X> against <Product Y>.

I wonder if that’s why it doesn’t work….

[Edit]To be fair, they inform me they were discovering the solution with another customer, which I have no problem with. I was just feeling a little out in the dark about the process of resolution. But really when there’s a fire, you just put the thing out, and its over now…

But were back in action now. So back to work.

Next day, I plugged the SD card in and found that Lightroom was

Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo.

Arrg.

There is a good example of how to pull the preview jpeg’s, but when I did that, the preview pictures were 570×375, and thus not worth keeping, so some reading of the help file and this command pulled the embedded 4928×3264 jpegs.

exiftool.exe -b -JpgFromRaw -w _jpgfromraw.jpg -ext nef -r .

Which is better sized albeit a little over compressed. But better than nothing.

Now to solve the lossless NEF problem once and for all, and try resolve if the raw files can truly be recovered…

Added D5100 support for non-brand batteries.

This is BETA software. Be warned. It’s been tested by a handful of people, no issues so far.

Altered the patch set remove the D3100 full time restriction, as it was ungraceful  and reverted to the 17 minute limt. Also in 1.8 I removed the D5100 loseless option as it didn’t work correctly.

Crazy year for me, we (the family)
moved countries and are still dealing with the extra stuff accumulated along the way. Also the stuff lost or damaged.

New bike was great on my ride the other day.

On the blog front. The worst year for number of posts, the best for traffic and comments. 17 posts across the whole year.

On the Nikon front. Slow but steady progress. Made some good progress on understanding how the B firmware works while Leegong has mastered the A firmware and Vicne has been kicking butt on the disassembler/emulator front. Lots of more to learn before mass hocking/injection of new code can happen but so many of the pieces are coming together or becoming understood.
