reddragdivaArrived 6:45pm and the place was getting quite full already. Had an
almost top-class social evening, marred only by the remains of the sore
throat, without which I'd have gotten so many snogs. Hello to <lj
user=[your name here]>. Nice to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
arkady (who looks
like a GOTH. A BOY one.) and sliding_loopz out again after many
months. The camera got a good workout - forty shots taken, most of them not
too bad. (I really must beat the computer into talking to it. Today.) ickle_yuki spent her time collapsed in a corner hanging out with
mistressmalaise, who gets all the rock'n'roll points for having
dragged herself along despite the broken ankle. I got remarkably pished on
Newky Brown and Guinness (I must have been drunk to drink London Guinness)
and stole lots of souls. A top night out.
Spermwhale are a
three-piece - a boy singing, two girls on keyboards. They play unremarkable
bleep. A few people up the front, lots down the back who thought they were
utter pants. (ickle_yuki is reading over my shoulder and ranting
about how shite they were and the absolute necessity of their rapid demise.) Decorative enough, but then if you're going to perform to a
tape you might as well dress up for the occasion.
Deathboy managed to pack out their first headliner. Not that filling the Dev (capacity 150) is that hard. They're getting it together very nicely. They had people coming up to them after the gig that they not only didn't know personally, but that weren't even netgoths. Rok stah!
Sent a MoneyGram to ladylilithredcountess. The reason they're so expensive is they're fast.
Just back from going down the shops with ickle_yuki ... for
some reason, quite a lot of what we ended up buying was chocolate. I wonder
how that happened.
gPhoto2 still can't see the sodding camera. Right now I'm going so far as to set up Wine with a view to running the camera
software under that. (Bet it doesn't work.) How very annoying.
ewtikins has allowed the use of her Windows box if necessary, though.
Update: I broke down and put the software on ewtikins' machine. Photos extracted. Might have something to put up in a day or two, depending how I am for time. Will still be giving the Wine approach a go, just for experience points.
Update: Show pics now up.

Putting the USB controller stuff on the CF rather than in the reader, making the CF more expensive and the reader (a one time purchase) cheaper ... pure marketing.
