Getting a Canon 400D
16/03/07 22:10 Filed in: Photography
Today I ordered my new camera. It is going to be a
Canon 400D.
I am very excited about it. It is my first new camera since I got my Canon EOS 100 way back in the early 90s. I haven't really touched a camera for a long time, but my wife as started a photography business, SlidingFrames Photography and her photos have inspired me to start taking photographs again. Mine will be nothing like hers, despite the fact I love black and white as well. I will be taking a lot more sport shots.
It also give me the incentive to learn Apple's Aperture. I have been watching her use it, but I wanted to learn more and having my own photos to tweak will make that easier and more interesting. Unfortunately the 400d is out of stock for 2 weeks so I won't get to use it for awhile, but I can't wait. I will blog about my experience with my first DSLR, being able to shoot without having to worry about film, and not having to wait for the pictures to come back from the developers. Also, what has to be done to a digital image to make it look good and how Aperture helps in that process.

Acrobat 8 asks for the admin password on launch
09/03/07 22:23 Filed in: Work
For weeks now I have had a machine that every time
you opened Acrobat v8 would ask for the administrator
password. This would only happen under a non admin
account. It was getting very annoying.
After speaking to my contact at Adobe he got me through to 3rd line support. Below is the answer he gave me. It is worth noting that once you have this error the fix below will only work if you uninstall Acrobat and then re-install it. The uninstaller is in the Acrobat folder.
There are three files that are installed on the second launch of Acrobat. If the second launch is from a non-admin user then he will get an authentication dialog. If the second launch is from an admin user then there is no prompt and from this point on any non-admin user can launch without the need to authenticate.
So the solution seems to be to launch Acrobat as admin twice before launching as user. Obviously this is not ideal and this issue will be addressed in a future Acrobat update.
