Morning :)

interesting how the d800e's "cancelled" AA filter works: dpreview.com/previews/nikond800/page3.asp

morning @fluf

afternoon @EvanKrall :)

Hi @EvanKrall

how's everyone?

good :) I have aircon today

do you live in the southern hemisphere?

yep South Africa

extremely hot here

ah

san francisco here

it's a little rainier right now, but very similar weather to the summer.

my wife called... looks like the package reached me! i'll have to confirm though.

@ShutterBug Package ?

Hi @ShutterBug :)

@fluf the swag :)

ahh cool

@ShutterBug lh6.googleusercontent.com/-t0hLrDEKcxw/TzAEQ92mwuI/AAAAAAAADN0/…

Took that this weekend :)

wait

just zoom out for some reason it's messing up the resolution

@fluf nice, you were in a wedding?

@ShutterBug just a guest :)

@rfusca that is damn funny :D

I havent seen this xkcd :/

@fluf hehe

@rfusca nice! :D

I love his comics.

I loved his one from a couple days ago about the sheeple

@EvanKrall Really odd...it doesn't seem logical to separate then combine when you could eliminate the process entirely.

@jrista " Our best guess is that it simply makes manufacturing the two models side-by-side easier: instead of having to make an entirely different filter stack for the D800E, Nikon just needs to change the first low-pass filter in the overall assembly" sounds right to me

hmm, maybe

@jrista still nobody applied

I know :(

kind of strange

you'd figure there would be some people itching for more power

@rfusca Maybe we need an informal "who should apply" list :)

@dpollitt lol

@dpollitt have you considered?

me personally?

i'm too harsh with the axe

no one wants me to do that lol

lol

i can't believe they let smugmug out of private beta now

with essentially no changes since they held it back

shrug

Maybe things happened behind the scenes

i see that if no one else steps up you are going to put in your name for moderation anyways ;)

@dpollitt sure

that way I can swing the axe ;)

haha exactly

the nominations bar has disappeared...

looks like the page is still there though: photo.stackexchange.com/election

Might want to nominate yourself before they decide were not worthy of an election, @rfusca.

@jrista I noticed that as well

if nobody does today, I will tomorrow

somebody on cooking.se did a compaign poster

lol

their banner is gone as well

@rfusca "come to our site so I can BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH THIS HAMMMMERRRRR!"

@JamWheel thats pretty much the campaign slogan yup

:) sinister looking pic tbh

@JamWheel i think its supposed to

@rfusca what is it promoting exactly?
