While I'm holding up my skirt, can you please take out a ruler and check if my stocking tops are neatly aligned? I think they're pretty okay but maybe a minor adjustment is still needed and I really can use your help with that. Maybe the stocking on the right needs a tiny extra pull upwards? Please check and adjust for me, but be gentle and tender because silky stockings are delicate and sweet satin girls are just as delicate as well.

In some ways this is almost the exact opposite of the previous image in my stream. The fortunate zig-zag alignment of the clouds and reflections and their bright colours combine to create a "shouting image", as opposed to the more gentle tones of Caister Shoreline.
Looks normal, right? Look at your own keyboard... notice anything different? Okay, maybe you don't. But try actually typing on this and it all becomes far too apparent. The whole of the bottom row of letters (Z, X, C...) is one too far to the right. The Z should be below and between A and S, not S and D.
You're looking at a brand new Dell Vostro 1310, ordered the day after its released, and delivered on 30th April 2008 in the UK.
They keys are all there. Shift, \|, Z, X... its just that the left shift is too big, forcing everything over too far. The Z has to be between the A and S... look on ANY other keyboard and that's where it sits. This is not a US/UK layout issue, just a general monumental flaw.
UPDATE 1st May 2008 5pm: I phoned Dell for 20 minutes and they have confirmed that this affects all new Vostro 1310s in the UK. Oh dear!! They're hoping they can just replace the keyboards, though the guy on the phone said it was a 'motherboard' problem... I can't imagine that though.
UPDATE: 2nd May 2008 1:30pm - Kerry from Dell has informed me that Dell are working on a resolution for the issue. The official statement is as follows:
------
A limited number of Vostro 1310 and
1510 in Europe have been sent out with the wrong keyboard
layout. We are working diligently to offer a solution to
impacted customers and correct the error. Once a solution
is in place, we will be contacting impacted customers
directly to both apologise and instruct them on next steps.
We are still investigating this issue and will come back
with more detailed information as soon as possible. We have
made a mistake here and will be acting as quickly as
possible to find a satisfactory solution for our customers.

UPDATE 9th May:
Okay, so they're sending out new keyboards. But it seems to me like a quick fix which is imperfect rather than applying the correct fix. Here's what I just posted to their blog:
---
[Y]ou've gone and kept the large left shift key and moved the \| key
to the right of the row, rather than making the left shift key
smaller... why?
You mention it appearing on more systems here... I will have to take
your word for that, but all 6 keyboards I can see in front of me right
now have a small left shift key and the \| key to the left of the z.
Why reinvent the wheel? If there's a good ergonomic reason for this
choice then that's great, but I can just sense that I'm going to fit
this new keyboard into my laptop and be (a lot less, but still a
little) frustrated with it.
Here's the logic for why the |\ should be on the left not the right:
* Look at where a touch typists fingers little fingers sit
* Note the distance the little fingers have to travel to reach a shift key
* when we have a small left shift, the 'A' is only half a regular
sized key away from the shift key. A nice small distance to travel
* again with the small left left key, the big left shift key is
only half a regular sized key from the colon/semi-colon on which the
right little finger sits.
* however, if you apply the layout you suggest, the left shift key
is under half the right shift key
* ... but the left shift key is now one and a half keys away from
the semi-colon. The right little finger has a long distance to travel,
making reaching for it take longer and be more of a pain.
So there's a very convincing argument to go for the standard UK layout
with small left shift and \| on the left. What's the convincing
counter argument that lead you to your chosen design?
I'm presuming that what you've applied here is the cost-effective
quick-fix and that there is no other argument for your choice. I can
completely understand this choice given the circumstances, but I don't
think its going to work for me I'm afraid.

['Ottovelo' commented I should just buy a Mac. I have removed his stupid Apple fanboy remark. Seriously... why not say but an Acer, Asus, Lenovo,, Samsung... and whilst we're on that, where's the delete key on a Mac? And why are " and @ in the wrong places on UK mac keyboards? Not as bad a design flaw as this, but utterly frustrating none the less.]
[
DEAR murilo A, dgua, korobeiniki, jorgepinto, cliph, mentor972, ramobjesus, raphy, zolinovat and every other MAC FANBOY out there,
Thank you sooooo much for your kind advice in telling me to 'get a mac'. Its so awfully sweet of you to be so kind and helpful.
Yes, I have considered buying a mac before. My wife has a mac which I bought her, my dad also has a mac which I bought him.
I hate my wife's mac. It has a backspace button but no delete button. It has one mouse button and forces me to press a key with the button rather than having a right mouse button. The @ and " are in the wrong places for UK users. You can't make windows fullscreen. Its slow. It crashes when playing DVDs. We have to cover it up at night as its glow 'throbs' and doesn't let me get any sleep.
Also, this laptop cost me £650. A similarly spec'd mac would have cost £949 (and that's still not as good spec as this).
Lots of love,
Jake
PS: I've deleted a lot of your helpful 'buy a mac' comments from this page. If you want to advertise, go do it in your own space, not mine
PPS: If you fancy trying to convert me you can of course send me a Mac for free. Just don't be surprised if a video of me smashing it to bits appears on the Internet soon after.

Jake,
This restaurant was across the street from our hotel. When we went out each morning we expected to see it toppled over. Like a lot of other buildings in Amsterdam, it looks terribly out of alignment in so many directions. All those buildings must be built very well or they would have fallen by now. In Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
we had a much better alignment of Minmus/Mun/Kerbin last night. Hopefully the next one on 8/27/15 is even better lit

A V24 this is NOT! Same tool tool I have been experimenting with but with a different rod! ;-) One thing I have not mentioned about this newest tool is that it will have at least three, if not four, different acrylic rods available for it! ;-) I still have to do a bit of testing on the fourth to see if it will be offered as well.
Any others want to throw a name suggestion in the ring to name this new Light Painting tool?
Features:
- Microcontrolled with 12 standard patterns
(Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White, "V24 mimic mode", Full Color Fade Mode - Slow, Full Color Fade Mode - Fast, Quick Color Change Mode (no fade), Color Blink Mode (one second on, one second off).
- Special Light Rod that is easily changed to different light rods.
- Easy grip Handle
- Rocker switch with momentary on / Off / constant on positions
- Rotary switch to select each mode
- Switches are positioned for easy control in the dark
- Powered by 3 AAA batteries!
- A Deluxe Model will also be offered with at least 24 modes but more than likely it will be 36 modes!!!

The old alignment to Mt Gambier can be seen curving off in the background having closed in 1995, coming up to nearly 30 years now.
I've never had the sun set behind that tree before, like a furnace with its door open, after a glorious summer's day. The pinprick of light in the middle distance is a signal.

This species needs quite a lot of sunshine and higher temperatures and if everything goes according to plan, they reach their adult form in early August. With poor weather, the development is slowed down and any specimens which haven't reached adult form when it is time to hibernate will die as it needs to be in the final form to be able to survive the winter.
Most people probably don't know this but it's something I learned in college. If you get on the center railing of the steps to the Central Library and look south you will see that everthing from that center railing to the Chase Tower and everyting in between are perfectly aligned.

This was taken the same day as the previous amazing clouds photo, but a couple hours earlier before the clouds arrived. Larger.
The SS Badger sails into Ludington Michigan with the setting sun in the background. This juxaposition occurred because of the sun's position in early October and the fact that the Badger was 25 minutes late into port.
The Badger was built in 1953 and is the last large coal burning steamship in the US. The Badger shuttles both cars and passengers between Michigan and Wisconsin and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 2013 season will end on October 13.
Well, this is not my best work. It was handheld, 05:38, in the morning, grabbed before the clouds rolled it.

This took a bit of patience and time to get lined up, I know it's not perfectly lined up but it was getting pretty frustrating. First, framed up with the pylon with Tokina @ 11mm, change lenses, line up with the circuit board at 46mm without moving the camera and compare line up with pylon. Then, Click remote, expose circuit board, cap lens, change lens re-zoom and focus, while capped, blind. Uncap the lens, expose the pylon, cap the lens, pack up. Walk to the car a few blocks away, drive 1/4 mile, set up in a drainage tunnel blindly, uncap lens, trace figure, click remote, bing! Now a cwb and all is good.
After all of that, I noticed my exposed skin bottom right, after originally posting with finger in, I've decided to go with the crop, it's cleaner, any prints will be full sized.. naddafinga!
