Using Raid1 in Windows

RAID1 mirroring is an arrangement of hard disks that creates an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks. This is useful when read performance or reliability are more important than data storage capacity.

RAID1, for example, writes two copies of the data simultaneously on two separate drives. This is called fault tolerant because if one of the mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure (e.g. spindle failure) or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function. The RAID 1 configuration is performed either by a hardware RAID controller… or performed in software. It is suited to applications requiring high fault tolerance at a low cost and where a duplicated set of data is more secure than using parity. RAID 1 is popular for accounting and other financial data. It is also commonly used for small database systems, enterprise servers, and home PCs where a fairly inexpensive fault tolerance is required.

Good Friday

Last Good Friday was really Good.

We went to explore the metro on our own with my not so trusty Garmin GPS60CSX, why not so trusty? it's because sometimes the signal is lost! Back up is my trusty iPhone3GS.

We went Makati and since it was all closed, we drove straight to Bonifacio Global City. There was a  Stations of the Cross at Serendra. (photos from a fellow phphoto) 

LCW Variable ND Filter Mark II

ND2 to ND400 all in one.

After reading few reviews on this Vari ND Filter, I have come out with some test shots for you to compare since other websites/reviews doesn't show the details of the Vari ND Filter.

When i received this new toy, i was excited to test them. I got the 77mm Vari ND filter with two step up rings. a 52mm and 72mm. Why a 52mm ring? it's for my handy Lumix Lx3.
These photos was taken by Panasonic Lumix Lx3, a 46-52mm ring and 52-77mm ring with LCW vari ND.

Sensor Cleaning with DSLR

There are two types of cleaning the sensor of your DSLR Camera: Dry type and the Wet type.

Dry cleaning is kinda new for me. I've known wet type back in 1998 when I had my first Nikon D70. Traveled anywhere with some borrowed lenses and don't know that the dust would get inside and stick to the sensor. My travel photos were great (of course for me, but not all, maybe 1 in every 20 shots he he) and that was the time I found out that all pictures that has skies in it has many dots then i found out that it was the dusts in my sensor.

After reading so much websites on cleaning the sensor, I finally made my choice to do-it-myself, since I am more of a DIY person, bought the tools to use and successfully cleaned my Nikon D70 sensor.

My first keyboard was back in 1998, a Microsoft Elite Keyboard which still in top condition except for thr cokour. And in addition to my Microsoft family, an optical mouse given by Lotto99. Thanks! I'm happy with these setup, and will be happier if i'll switch 100% to Mac platform in the near future.
