My old remote switch ( a Canon RS-80N3 ) dead in december after two years of service, so I needed a new shutter release thing. Canon has got two models, the simpel one and the expensive one with interval options. I would like to have to advanced one, but it was a bit too expensive for my taste, but I found an alternative:

The Twin1 ISR (Interval Shutter Release)


Same price as the basic Canon model, but with the interval options of the expensive one.

Today the package arrived and I used my lunch break for some quick testing...I will have to use it tomorrow so it was just in time.

First impression:
- it works

Not only as basic device (which will work without battery) with shutter control and bulb, but also as interval release, complete with exposure control. Time-lapse, here I come

And a little update
- beter distance calculation (modem <-> rop)
- 30 mbps upgrade has now a maybe option too

And a little update
- possible to enter your own custom password
- more data
- bandplan
- proper units

If you have a VDSL2 line in Belgium and you want to know more about your dsl line data or your max speed, the web interface of the Bbox2 modem (ugly modem) doesn't give all that info...

So I've made a little tool that reads out your modem data:


You can start it with this link its a java webstart, so it can be used on any system with a 1.6 JRE (tested on Windows 7 and Snow Leopard)

code:

1 2 3 4

4 x 1 TB (raid 5) is dus niet genoeg...

Toch maar eens gaan kijken naar de 2 TB disks...gelukkig beginnen ze al wat goedkoper te worden..link
