To Do

• Help Brigette with Kinesin activity?
• Help with OT?
• Setup wireless cam on server?
• Something else that may need my attention

Cam

• Koch seems pretty happy about how the cameras work
• There is a problem that one of the memory cards is only 16Mb whereas the other 2Gb
  • Amazon.com has some 4Gb SD memory cards for ~$10
• Koch didnt get back to me about whether or not the cameras can reach across the hall into the other lab (Steve Koch 00:34, 10 July 2009 (EDT): Yup, it worked for me (I think...it said "transferring 1/3..." and I too took some pictures of the tweezers. The setup is pretty bad-ass! Thanks again for getting the cameras working!)
  • As such, i'm going to take some photos of the tweezers for Andy
    • Worst case: I take them then physically dump them to the computer
• It does work, and Larry's computer automatically dumps the photos into the C:photos from wireless camera
  • There is a workaround:
    • If you use remote shooting, turn on the LCD display on the camera (so you can see what your taking a photo of) and then tell it to only dump to computer, it should do what we want w/o filling up the card (this way may be alot slower though because of xfer times)
• That seemed to work out just fine
• The photos are stored on larrys c drive/photos from wireless/jul 9
  • They aren't all the best, but I think some are good
•
