Economic Collapse!
Photo Mechanic 4.6
Drat. The new release, first since I crossed into pay-for-upgrade territory, does add support for the Panasonic DMC LX-3 raw files (.RW2). And maybe other valuable things too, but support for my snapshot camera makes a big difference to usability for me.
(This is the one that does such tremendously fast display, and makes sorting through hundreds of photos in raw format tolerable.)
Five Nines
Something you won’t meet in real life. At least, you won’t meet it except by pure luck in affordable web hosting.
Just in case you’ve never run the numbers…
| Year | Minutes |
|---|---|
| 1 | 525,600 |
| .1 | 52,560 |
| .01 | 5,256 |
| .001 | 525.6 |
| .0001 | 52.56 |
| .00001 | 5.256 |
So there you have it. Being up .99999 of the time (over a year) means you can have just over 5 minutes of downtime. Total. The whole year. (This being a 365 day calendar year, not an astronomical year.)
