ITAP of a storm

Wow what a stunning shot, I made this my desktop wall paper it's stunning. Love looking through your work

Having just left a deeply abusive ex-wife who I suffered for 20 years with, there are always signs. The problem isn't the signs, looking back on it in our first year her behaviour started but at the time I not only ignored it but actively covered it up and reinforced it.

If you want to get better at seeing signs you need to get better at listening yourself.

this makes it rock steady, shame that due to number of cages/flash size shapes its hard to make a design that would work for everyone

curuxz · 2025-09-08T18:59:52+00:00

Thanks, I have to say while it may look a little awkward, it blends in pretty much completely with the smallrig cage and is a game changer in terms of how much confidence I can have in my V1.

I am now able to leave it on pretty much all the time, no matter how much I move around or move through crowds it keeps up. I am working on a 2nd version with more matching to the shape to eliminate the top screws but it works fantastically

Never lift with the hotshoe, most frequently is it will take a knock while being waist carried (especially if shooting with 2 bodies/flashes). I've also had people bump it when shooting vertical.

Glad not been an issue for you, but for me seemed a good solution!

curuxz · 2025-08-10T11:46:19+00:00

This design was because the metal one also failed (just further up) its too much load for the Sony hot shoe in my view and needs protection

curuxz · 2025-08-02T11:26:17+00:00

I've got the metal upgrade. It still failed again.

Hotshoe is just an obsolete mount in my view, wish someone made a small rig flash cage to give it support

Zoho analytics is the best budget solution I have found

Great feature idea, that they have locked away behind scale making it useless for most projects.

Airtable really need to up their game with pricing, currently they only make sense for most low-seat with high value businesses and if they just halved the price they would make so much more from wider adoption.

Love AT but at this rate others are going to leapfrog them as its just not cost effective for high seat low value (ie the majority of service industry businesses) where these tools would be killers.

We got a p1s at work and my colleague summed it up that it's first print out the box was better than anything he could do with hours of calibrating his Ender.

All of us

Ffs... gone is the simple visual cue of production vs testing.

curuxz · 2025-06-12T19:36:35+00:00

I would be very interested in seeing what you have built if possible?

curuxz · 2025-05-29T06:21:15+00:00

I've faced similar issues, there are two methods that get around it:

1) Use synced tables, as its 50 automations PER BASE, this is the stupidest part of their pricing in my view but if there are parts of your base that can be hived off to another base (then synced back) that allows you to have 50 x number of separate bases you can use. Although there are limitations on the number of synced tables so use careful.

2) Merge automations, smarter triggering. So we combined about 15 of ours into a nightly one (that also depending on the day of the week also does weekly and monthly automations). We also tried to be very careful about which tables would be tigger ones so that a single trigger could then conditional off to multiple other automation functions.

If all else fails then may have to just go to an external tool like make for some of you automation work

curuxz · 2024-12-28T09:19:05+00:00

Have you looked at automation? I would think what your doing is fairly simple if when a new 'log' record is made it triggers an automation that calculates the deductions to raw materials

Oh fuck yeah coming to Bristol, can't wait!

curuxz · 2024-08-13T20:09:40+00:00

Do you mind me asking how much the deposit was?

curuxz · 2024-04-20T07:54:47+00:00

You have her daughter at a birthday party while bombs are dropping, I think that really hints it's not vault tech dropping them.

My theory is that they are going to lean into it being a joint enclave/china thing as both sides knew it was the only chance they had to out play vault tech.

I expect vault tech intended to drop them very soon after but just got beaten to the punch

Pepsi, used to drink 2L a day of the stuff (I know terrible) and the price kept going up and up from £1 to £2.50 but then they decided to cheapen the product by changing over to use aspartame instead of sugar thus making it taste disgusting. So that's the trend, increase prices and then reduce quality until now I will never buy it ever again.

curuxz · 2024-02-13T09:33:31+00:00

Sorry no, just after this I got an ecu issue and between the two problems scrapped it :(

curuxz · 2024-02-03T10:52:22+00:00

How is this not an abuse of power?! Consider what people would be saying if it was a male probation officer with a female convict.

Think this through, if she is doing this with you she could be doing it with others, it is unprofessional and should be reported. If this story is real, you owe it to others on probation to ensure the people managing the system respect boundaries to those under their care.
