Actually, it isn't. Aperture stores the image files themselves inside it's database. This has the effect of rendering them difficult to access/recover outside of Aperture, impossible to share on the network, prevents meta and albums (the most important part of a catalog/library) from living in...

I made the switch for exactly the same reasons, and that's also why I keep away from all of the "smart" features. If I woke up tomorrow and couldn't use LR all of my albums, keywords, star ratings, and other meta would be alive and well in the file system. As a bonus the photo library can be...

"Business" grade servers that are completely unstable, and offer little beyond "apps" for services. Professional grade workstations that don't... work. Aperture... because it's a good idea to stick terabytes of photos in a single database? I'm sure Final Cut is next... and it wouldn't be a big...

This is what I do more often than not, it's just so much more convenient. The strap, pin, and a bow shackle for the other vehicle fit right in the door pocket.

Those are the exact ratchets I use, except I kept the hook on the ratchet and didn't mount them. Just press the red button, let them roll themselves up, and toss them in the tool drawer... well worth the marginal extra cost. $20, and Prime-able...

That's a great combination of truck and camper, I had the pleasure of using a nearly identical setup for about a week. We were hit with a freak snowstorm and that camper was worth it's weight in diesel (I love winter camping, but we were equipped for summer weather). For a second I thought you...

I think it needs a few more cameras, 6 just doesn't cut it... :D

It's a neat truck, but I'm a little disappointed to see them put so much effort toward continuing production on an obsolete platform that will be discontinued completely in a few years. I'd much rather see what they can come up with for more modern, efficient, higher-capacity platforms (like the...

I needed the Discovery with me this year, it may well be there next year though. :chef: Interesting observations. I always understood the additional Foz height as being mostly due to the stiffer springs, perhaps maximum height (from "factory" components) could be achieved by combining the...

Now that the secret project is out of the bag... back to our regularly scheduled up-armored Subaru: http://expeditionportal.com/a-budget-overlander-forester-part-ii-protection/

I've been a little tied up with a certain super secret project... but the next update will be out next week. :)

You got it!

I ran KBB on my 2004 a couple days ago to get a rough equity assessment. It came to just under $12,000 with 110,000 miles on it (not counting upgrades); I can't imagine a mere 15,000 miles cutting the value in half. Unless there's damage or issues we aren't being told about I'd say his asking...

Very cool, hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out in person some day. Ashcroft. If you have any plans for lockers or regearing it would be easiest to do it all at once, since the first/last steps are the same as installing the axle upgrade. Lucky8 has good pricing on the parts...

The rear seats alone weigh in at a beefy 200+ lbs (I had to ship a set). All the interior trim and carpet (assuming it was removed) is easily another 40-50 lbs. A Disco's body isn't too heavy, the removed section was probably another 50-60 lbs. A stock D2's payload capacity is 1,500 lbs. The...

I ran with bed liner and paint because it's a very close match to the factory interior, and wood would clash too much. If (when) I do a van, it will be stained and sealed. It will also be thinner ply to save weight...not a big deal on the Disco as it's small and added less weight than I already...

I'm curious about that one myself, though I suspect the increase to total weight was very little considering how much (heavy) original equipment was removed. Very cool setup, cozy, but cool.

Part II of the build coming soon... :)

I'll borrow the 10.6 please. Drop me a message to chazz@expeditionportal.com with your Paypal address and I'll send you a few bucks for shipping. No worries, I think I've got it covered now.

I received mine last week just as I was hitting the road. Looks great, but now I regret not buying two... looking forward to the next GB. :)
