i've always liked the blue in the sky of keldyn's shots. his landscape didn't seem to suffer from it either. pictures i've taken in the past of part land part sky kind of muddied out the blue of the sky. so in short, Keldyn has prompted me to practice! this is what I've come up with. much better than my earlier pictures including sky in the picture imo. what do you think?

That's a nice shot Spyder - what's the secret? ;)

One thing I find very hard with any camera is keeping it steady. The Ixus has a light that flashes if it's shaking and that's always on unless I have resting the camera on something. This desk shot took about 15 tries! Is there any trick to it or should I just cut back on my caffine intake? :ninja:

Here's one of my geek kingdom ;)

EDIT: Hmm, if you preview a post with an attachment, the attachment goes AWOL...

Quboid: congrats on your purchase! I don't have a very steady hand either. You should really be making use of the flash for indoor shots. That should help a lot with the camera shake problem. Also check the ISO speed settings. Auto or 50 is good when there is plenty of light.

Great work with your last shot spyder. The sky looks awesome!

Good question!

Let me explain... if I convert the $499 ... let's say $500 to Hong Kong Dollar, it'd be $2500

My uncle bought it at $1,800 , so it'd be $700, however Tax didn't include yet... so it'd be approx. $1000 save value :D

Edit: The $1000 is HK Dollar :p .. heh not CAD! $200 in Canadian :D So approx. 50% off if bought in HK ..

so if $500 = $2500 then $1800 = $360 .. i dont see where a savings of $1000 canadian comes in to be honest. it'd be $140 canadian in savings. the $700 (or $805 after 15% tax.. assuming hong kongs tax rate) is a hong kong dollar savings, not canadian

:D

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
