There was a news report about a recall in the paper today for Toyotas. 2000-2002 models are being recalled with a faulty dimmer switch. The details are on the Recalls.Gov.Au Web Site. I am not sure if my car is included. The serial number looks like it is, but I am not sure about the model number. Looks like I will be getting a letter soon from Toyota telling me about the problem.

Earlier I had some issues trying to use an EXE file that was saved in Outlook. In essence, outlook said to ‘Get Lost’. I found a Knowledge Base Article on the Microsoft Web Site telling me how to deactivate this ‘security’ feature. I thought I had already done this, but obviously I was wrong. Argh.

The SMH has a great story on the Father of Digital Photography. The photo below is of a prototype model from the 1970’s that stored the video onto audio cassettes. It would take only 23 seconds to store a crude image.
