Nikon D700, blueSLR remote trigger and geolocation system

Yes, I plan on finally buying a iPhone  ...  when the  iPhone v5  ships sometime in June 2011.

So, what is cool about the  BlueSLR    http://usd.blueslr.com/   ... is that  when paired with a  iPhone and D700  it  will allow you to trigger a D700 at aprox 200 feet , AND tag your RAW D700 files in camera with GPS information.  for aprox.  $149.00  .. and a free iPhone app.  (you need to run both)

As soon as I get a iPhone 5  ... this will be my next purchase  :).

Here's a link to Rob Golbraith's  review:
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-11133-11212

IF, you are like me ...    whenever I have my D700  I have my Mobile phone (which will be a iPhone 5)   ...  so, with this combo, which I will already have with me + blueSLR ...
All my older remote triggers will go the way of the Dinosaur (and film) ... PLUS, I will have GPS geolocation tagging on my D700 (D800) files.


p.s.  for the iPhone  ... I am also going to get a  "Light Meter" app  ... how cool is that !

WeTransfer.com for Large 2gig file SENDs .. for FREE

This Large File Send/Transfer site is too good to not share. :)
WeTransfer.com   https://wetransfer.com/

It allows you to SEND/TRANSFER  to someone  Large  files up to 2gig FREE ... Yes, that's 2 gig!
I am a heavy user of YouSendIt.com   ...  but, it's crazy not to try/USE this.

Don't even mind there Advertising model they are using  ... Hey, if they can provide a  Great Service (for FREE)  AND  make some money ,  More Power to Them !

If you need to provide  large files (ZIP)  to your customers  FAST  (and easy)  ...  you got to love this (and the web).  :)   ...  Oh,  did I mention it's for FREE !


4/24/11   Have been using this for  a  few  over  1 gig ZIP file transfers ...  and so far, it is working like a charm !
When you are going over 1 gig , it does take a while  (even when using a cable web connect)  ... so, if you have to sent to more than one(1) email address ... Make sure you list them ALL :).

Too bad on this FREE  service  ... it does not  store a  email Address list for you , (or a group send list) ... or I did not easily see it.   ... but, it is FREE ! :)   

* What is COOL  though  ... when your  client downloads the file ... you are sent a email letting you know.   Nice !


Hope this helps someone,

Virus via email attachment ZIP ... bude.exe

I got a "different" kind of email from what I "thought" was  DHL-USA.

It said it was to tracking information for a package sent to me.

Being that I do use DHL  ... I thought nothing of it. 

But, it was strange that it was in a ZIP file   (many business owners don't know how to handle a ZIP).

Now, the RED flag  should have been ... there was a  exe file inside ... bude.exe

What was interesing was that it installed itself at this path

AppData\Roaming\Ixatce\bude.exe

and was Hidden on the  files Running List in  Win7 PRO.

Well, I  knew it was trouble when it tried to go outside my  Firewall to the Internet.

Short story  ...  I reported the virus   ...  my AntiVirus on a Quick scan did not detect it!

After I reported the  issue ... a UPdate was done ... and when I scanned it "then" caught it.

It seems to look for  User info and Passwords ... and probably  sends it back.

I noticed my  IE  had no UserNames  stored.       So, I would have to re-type everything.

What is interesting is ...  I did not notice it was running ... and  a scan did not catch it at first.

Started getting  "more"  SPAM  after I  went thru a site  asking survey questions in order to get a  Free or Discounted iPad  ... I know , I know ... what a mistake. :)  ... I should know better.

Beware,

Hope this helps,
