Say "Cheese" photo by Roy B.

I spend a lot of time taking pictures here with my 3.0 mega pixel camera. It's setup to take photos in 2.0 mega pixel mode and the size is dropped further to fit into the blog with software named "Hello". Hello picks the photo out of a file folder and automatically loads it. Most of the time, it's a pretty quick process. I tried to edit the html to update my web pages and send them to an ftp site for a while, but doing this on the blog is a much cleaner process, with no limit on the file size like my homepage provider requires. While out staying at a contractor base camp at one of the new Iraqi Army Bases, the upload speed was too slow to update my ftp, so blogging turned out to be the way to go. This little Sony camera and a two 258K memory cards have done a great job for me. Usually I keep the camera on a lanyard hung off my flack jacket or under my DCU shirt on my belt. I have a micro cassette recorder with me that I've dragged around everyday waiting for another shot at mosque prayers broadcast over their PA systems or the lunch crew singing in harmony on breaks. Usually that only happens when I don't have the recorder with me. Plenty of pockets left to bring individual milk cartons back from the dining hall for breakfast, baby wipes, sunglasses, notepad, cell phone, palm pilot and keys to my double-wide castle.
