The boxes are landing, bit by bit.
The floors are done! This is the original flooring from ’48.
The Petrs are finishing up the moulding. There are only a few details left in their part of the project.

Phone
And in other news, my phone saga keeps on giving! Our long-standing number was successfully transferred to the new house after much gnashing and wailing; sometime last week we noted with surprise that our answering machine appeared to have ceased picking up. Calls to the number were not picked up in test calls, and tonight I finally had the bright idea of calling the number while looking at the phone. No ring – but a busy signal!
To my aggravation, when I picked up the phone to call my cell, the number that registered on caller ID was some number I had never seen or heard of. Qwest verified with me on the phone that this was some sort of error and will investigate. Argh.
Not in the cards.
Upon inserting the Elph’s 1gb card into my card reader, only a subset of the files I knew were there appeared in the Mac OS. Upon reinserting the card into the camera and hitting playback, I was pleasantly informed that there was “No File.”
So I shot some more test pix.
I had been planning a card experiment anyway, as Viv has been pestering me to learn how to get pictures from her phone, a Nokia 6220, on to her computer. When I bought the phone, it was supported by iSync; now, however, it is not, and in fact, there is no Google-able solution for easy data exchange to the Mac with this phone at the moment.
(Unless, by now, there is! via burning paper. crazy!)
The phone is much mocked for the idiotic placement of the SD card, buried deep beneath the battery, so even should this methodology work it’s less than desirable.
Happily, her card read fine and I was easily able to grab all the video and pictures from it. Unhappily, sometime in June, she started shooting to the internal storage of the phone. The phone does provide a mechanism to shift photos from the internal storage to the card, but only one at a time, and the procdure requires several button presses to complete for each image.
Once this had been attended to, I reinserted the Canon’s card.
Once again, the dreaded words: “The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in ‘IMG_0001.JPG’ could not be read or written.” Sigh. Looks like I need to do some research, or maybe actually insert the Canon-supplied software disc. At least this time it didn’t nuke the images.
