I knew Kata made bags for video gear, and off and on I've seen their camera bags. They're an Israeli company, although like everyone else their stuff's made in China. Their bags are kind of tough, like some Israelis I've done business with. Kata make body armour as well as camera bags, and it looks like the same designers may work on both. They don't make what I specifically use - chest mount bags - but their holster bags are quite close to what I need. I discussed a little with their support people online and eventually picked up their largest "holster" bag, the H-16. This is sized for 1-series cameras, so it's big enough for anything I'm going to carry in it.

I've no idea what the name of this one is all about, or why it's so long. On the other hand it has a lot going for it just from the look of the thing in the shop:

• elegant design
• no crincle cut edges
• 4x4 inserts

But you actually have to ride a board to know if it's any good...

I used Simile Timeline for the second time on ASP.NET the other day. The Simile Timeline documentation is a bit sparse, but the Google Group supporting it is good.

There's lots of stuff out there on Google about using Simile Timeline with ASP.NET specifically, but as usual much of it is wrong. As a probably pointless attempt to counter those who spend their time copying incorrect data around the internet, here's some correct data about using Simile Timeline on ASP.NET 3.5.

This stuff actually works, and I know because I built it and sold it to someone. If you're in the class of sad copiers, don't forget to correct my spelling mistakes when you steal this.

I don't know anything about video, but my camera takes it and I need to figure out how to produce the stuff. I'm sure this information's out there somewhere, but I've been unable to find it, so here's what I found.
