All I get is access denied for every link. If it's a subscribers only deal that's fine, but please label it as such. I've had access to previous issues

I see that the link that Vin Marshall provided to get his interval shooting script that he menioned in his "Auto Focus" article (How 2.0 --> Geotag a Photographic Record of Your Next Road Trip, above) isn't live. Is it going to be soon, and if not, is there some other way to get his script file for use in our cameras? Thanks, Bill Taylor

This is very poor content management. Mag gives link to the "How 2.0: Geotag a trip" article which is invalid. From this page it seems its not live yet.

I want what shuttersharkie and btaylorsacto want- and I want to forward it to my son-in-law who is now on the road in an RV with a camera. It is now 4/29 and the article (by Vince Marshall) is not yet linked. (I am a subscriber to the mag.)
Que paso?
