Chateau Torquois, 2010 by sadd3j

Just watching the US-Canada hockey game, and managed to hook up a laptop to the TV properly. Decided to take a photo to post and decided to post a few more photos with the latest changes to the condo* All photos taken with in auto mode with the LX3 (except the TV shot is manual). I know my condo is dark in general, but I found the LX3 to underexpose by about 2/3 of a stop in auto mode. Photos were imported into LR and bumped up a bit and exported right out.

*haha.. sign of a geek, my first inclination was to write “latest condo mods”

720p Mode
Hooking up Sam’s laptop with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter, then an HDMI cable straight to the TV, I was pleasantly surprised when OSX provided the above option of 720p. This means that I don’t have to worry about my cheapo TV which has rectangular pixels (1024×768 resolution, but 16:9 aspect ratio)

Toy Basket
A basket we got at IKEA to put the doggy toys in.

Paper Holder
Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, finally picked up a decent looking holder and installed it (all in the same day!)

Shelf Lock
Another on the list of “things to do”, pretty minor, but it was the one shelf that was leaning forward and so now all the shelves are fairly sturdy. The other shelves are just attached to each other, so if you really pulled, those would come down.

32
Picked up a few weeks ago in Guelph, Burton’s crate. I do need to block off more than half of it for when he first gets here so he can’t pee in one corner and sleep in the other.

Living Room
Just to show the crate’s scale in relation to the rest of the place.
