Dreary day

Another rather dreary day.  Oh well, good day to do inside things.

Spent some time messing with CHDK to get a handle on setting up time lapse videos.  I'm a bit concerned about battery life.  A bit of checking found some links for external battery packs.  Surprisingly, there isn't a commercial one!  I also found an interesting video on using Picasa to make the video.  I'm a fan of Picasa and a bit of experimentation suggests that it will work well.  The final piece is to work out how to set parameters when taking the photos.  Todo list:
  • external battery pack for camera
  • good set of rechargeable batteries
  • work out parameters
  • mount for bike/self
