TNT2 TV-out as a secondary display

I thought I’d seen it done in the past, but I was playing around with it today and couldn’t get it to work. So maybe it’s not.

Basically the only way I could get PAL Composite or S-Video output to work was if I set it up as the primary (sole) display. Which really sucks. I mean, it’s not a terribly major thing, but it’s also very irritating. Bleeeeehhh.

Anyone had any luck in the past with that on a TNT2?

Don’t know why I’m quoting this, struck me as amusing :P

Topping up the nationalism

Well I now feel thoroughly Australian again. A 40 degree day (104 degrees if you’re American/use Fahrenheit) and a trip to the beach saw the national spirit cemented. Or perhaps fermented. Or melted. Whatever.

Having said that, I did go to Coogee beach. So I guess that means I could well be a kiwi, or a pom, or… from a fair few other places in Europe. Meh!

p.s. 40 degrees was recorded at Sydney Airport, which is the closest observation station here. So it actually did reach that temperature even in the East! Olympic Park topped it at 40.1 degrees, but that’s not particularly surprising given the location… in fact, it’s surprising they’re that close! I’ve decided it’s way too hot in Australia (or at least Sydney in Summer) and have decided it’d be great to move South… or to Europe or somewhere lots colder. Scandinavia, perhaps!

A photo or 576 (according to cat-scan) from NZ

New Zealand

I can’t be bothered categorising them further. There’s about 60MB there for those who can be bothered looking at them all (it’s not advisable to try!).

More to come whenever I get the SLR photos developed. Probably in the distant future given my track record there (I’ve got six canisters here full of unprocessed film, some from months back!)
