Thursday, September 14. 2006Do _not_ order at sonystyle.comI'm so angry. What the fuck is up with the UK and ordering stuff. Are you guys unable to handle a single order properly?! I ordered at dabs.com, they fucked it up big time (products arrived after several weeks), I ordered at amazon.co.uk (they didn't reach me when delivering and decided to not leave me a notification card, so I can have some fun hunting my package and talking to strange persons on the phone) and now I ordered something at sonystyle.co.uk. I chose the First Class Delivery (13 extra quid, yay) to avoid any fuckup this time. Result? Sony sent my package the very same day (respect!), but to the wrong address. So now my package is somewhere, but not here and Sony tells me they can't look up the tracking ID since they only store them till the package has been delivered (it has not, morons). And UPS? Well, they can't look it up without a valid tracking ID, since that would be against their Data Protection Act. Now Sony offered me to find out the tracking ID till monday. Great. Sum-up: I paid an extra 13 quid so that I have to wait longer and get disgusted by the people on the phone? Great, next time I'll just go to a store. It' cheaper and it's quicker. And if anyone dares to react like the Sony-guy on the phone I'd at least have the chance to punch him in the face right then and there. Thursday, September 14. 2006Sony GPS-CS1 - on its way Just ordered at sonystyle.co.uk: Sony GPS-CS1. So looking forward to this little device. It records your GPS position automatically every 15 seconds and stores it in memory. You can then just plug it into your computer and sync the positions with the images you took. Et voila: you end up with perfectly tagged images, that you can view on a (world-)map.Oh by the way, even though Sony officially only claims it's compatible with CyberShot and other Sony cameras, I can assure you that it's actually compatible with any camera / JPEG files in general. When you plug in the device, you can simply mount it as a disc. You'll find proper NMEA GPS logs which you can import in most GPS mapping software. Short specs: - Runs on standard AA batteries. - Aprox. 86.400 (360h) position records per battery. - Stores one record every 15 seconds.  Thursday, September 14. 2006 |
