Well, it has been a while since I have posted on here, so I thought it was time to touch base. The connectivity issues with Clearwire were finally cleared up in early September and getting them cleared up meant switching back to Comcast and making it clear enough to Clearwire that I was willing to take the 5 hour trip necessary to take them to small claims court that with the Better Business Burea getting involved, they stopped trying to keep me chained to their contract and accepted that I was NOT getting what was promised. This did involve a technician having to come to my apartment and not only confirm but define just how BAD my connectivity was. To paraphrase, it seems that the antenna I was lined up on at the nearest tower wouldn't let me stay connected to it, but kept trying to hand off my connection to towers I couldn't possibly connect to, but due to strange radio wave echoes around my apartment complex, the towers I was being handed off too could still detect my Clearwire Modem. Sadly, the modem couldn't detect the towers it was being handed off to. Regardless, they could not give me anything resembling a broadband or a stable connection.
So, why no comment since then?
Well, to begin with, from mid-September till late October I was busy doing photography related work with very limited internet access. I will eventually get around to posting those images and other related images I have on the galleries. The particular work was centered around the harvest at a medium sized local medical marijuana farm which I had been following through the entire previous year with occasional visits to document the progress.
After the time at the month or so at the grow site, I had another month where my ability to edit any of my pictures was put on hold, as this computer (the that has all the photo-software on it) was having serious issues that ended up requiring it to be sent in for warranty service. Thankfully I got the full shebang when it came to warranty extensions on this machine.
That would bring my excuses for inactivity up to late November, and since then I have just been too busy with other BS in my life to find much time to work on any sort of photography. In all, I probably have a back up of around 3,000 pictures that are worth keeping that are still in RAW format and untouched that I eventually need to get around to dealing with, but I wouldn't expect much till at least late February, as I doubt I will have time.
To give an idea of just how little I've had to done lately, my S5Pro's batteries are dead for the first time since I bought it. With any luck, the issues that have had me distracted will result in my soon having the funds to get the Nikon D300 I've been wanting to round out the SLRs I have to work with, as high res and high speed (both which the D300 is good for) are the two things I am currently limited in with the S5Pro and Sigma SD14 I currently have.
