For the uninitiated, the Eye-Fi memory card is a SD memory card with wireless capabilities built in, allowing automated uploading of your images as you take them without requiring a connection to a computer. You simply walk to a hotspot or a wireless access point you have registered with and your images are uploaded to the web for you.

With that being said, here is the problem:

My Macbook Pro was purchased in spring of 2006. At the time, I decided to choose the one hard drive Apple offered that was 7200 RPM – specifically, the Seagate Momentus 7200.1 100GB drive (ST910021AS). Over the past year or so, I found myself constantly running out of disc space, and decided it was time to do something about it. I decided upon the Western Digital Scorpio drive – a 320GB drive that is 5400RPM (WD3200BEVT).

Upon first look at the new drive specifications I was a little worried, as I wasn’t sure the effect dropping down from a 7200RPM drive to a 5400RPM drive would have on my systems performance.

This site has been basically non-functional for about a year and a half…way too long! So, I’m slowly re-building it up. So far the only content of any usefulness can be found on the sidebar.

You can see what music I’ve been listening to with the Last.FM widget, and see some random postings/comments around the internet with the FriendFeed widget. You can see the most recent images I’ve posted in the “Flickr recent photos” section. Finally, if you want to see my full Flickr gallery, click on Photography then Flickr Photostream.

I also have a self-hosted gallery (Photography -> Gallery) which I’m going to slowly work on loading images into – just a warning though, I have a lot of images so it will take a while! And shortly I hope to have that gallery fully integrated into the site, but for now the way it works will have to do.

Here’s to hoping I keep this up and running (and hopefully with fresh content) fairly frequently!
