getting custody of the remote can be a bit of a struggle which is why i'm always a little happy when j goes out of town for work. this week he was in milwaukee.
Second installment of the Wireless Shutter Remote!
(So, I set my 100mm Macro Lens up next to the post I know the birdies perch on in my garden...., focused on the perch, switched it onto Manual focus, dialed in f8, messed with the settings... and started making my beads.
As soon as I saw a bird on the perch I waited a few seconds before pressing the remote tigger, I wanted to get him doing something different... hey presto.
Bird while you bead! YAY!)
not sure if i like the armrest controls or the new remote. the remote is a bit annoying to place back in its home.
also, movies are now on-demand so the movie starts when you want rather then missing the first 15-20 min because of in flight announcements

Koh Ker (Khmer: ប្រាសាទកោះកេរ្ដិ៍) is a remote archaeological site in northern Cambodia about 120 kilometres (75 mi) away from Siem Reap and the ancient site of Angkor. It is a very jungle filled region that is sparsely populated. More than 180 sanctuaries were found in a protected area of 81 square kilometres (31 sq mi).[1](p13) Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest and the whole area is not fully demined.
Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapua (city of lingams) or Chok Gargyar (sometimes translated as city of glance,[2] sometimes as iron tree forest).[1](pp8–9)
Under the reign of the kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II Koh Ker was briefly the capital of the whole empire (928–944 AD). Jayavarman IV forced an ambitious building program. An enormous water-tank and about forty temples were constructed under his rule. The most significant temple‑complex, a double sanctuary (Prasat Thom/Prang), follows a linear plan and not a concentric one like most of the temples of the Khmer kings. Unparalleled is the seven‑tiered and 36-metre (118 ft) high pyramid, which most probably served as state temple of Jayavarman IV. Really impressive too are the shrines with the two‑meter 6 ft 7 in high lingas.
Under Jayavarman IV the style of Koh Ker was developed and the art of sculpture reached a pinnacle. A great variety of wonderful statues were chiselled. Because of its remoteness the site of Koh Ker was plundered many times by looters. Sculptures of Koh Ker can be found not only in different museums but also in private collections. Masterpieces of Koh Ker are offered occasionally at auctions. These pieces in present times are considered stolen art.
The site is about two and half hours away from Siem Reap, and basic visitors' facilities are now being built. This makes Koh Ker very attractive for anyone who would like to experience lonely temples partly overgrown by the forest.
Since 1992 the site of Koh Ker is on the UNESCO tentative world heritage list
During a beautiful sunset on the banks of Loch Ossian, I look across towards the small islands and distant mountains.
I was staying in Loch Ossian Youth Hostel, just behind where this was taken from. It was one of the best experiences I could wish for living in some of the most remote moorland in the country.
