Re: Ready at last, Scuba Cart V1.0

I've been thinking about something like this. But, it would need to be able to be a support bench to don my gear at the shore. Don't think the plastic tub would be strong enough for that. If that tub was stronger...man, that'd be the bomb!

Plumose anemone

Took this shot of an anemone and am a little confused in ID'ing. I believe it's an Metridium Senile. But, in the process of researching this i found a couple different references to the Giant Plumose, Metridium giganteum and Metridium farcimen. Maybe someone can clarify this for me?

Re: Kernel......Stack.....Inpage......Error.

from what i gathered from microsoft's website, it's either virus or bad hdd. if u dont have an antivirus program, install microsoft's security essentials and scan your drive for viruses. if none, then probably hdd.

Re: Canon A640, WP-DC8 UW housing, 2Gb memory card

i wanna get rid of this "boat anchor", as cardiver so graciously put it.

Went out to Sunnyside to test it today. Discovered the lens has some crud inside which can't be cleaned. Gives an artifact which looks similar to lens vignetting.

Housing doesn't leak, 2Gb SD card. $50 OBO.
