A flurry of deadline deals have been going on. As a Mariners fan, the A’s – Reds trade that brough Jose Guillen to Oakland for Aaron Harang is one of the most interesting. I’m most of the way through Moneyball and this looks like a classic Beane trade to me. He didn’t like Harang and…

I *think* I’m done adding strings for this release. I snuck one more into beta 2 for an additional configuration check. 🙂 This will be the last release I put out with incomplete language files, I’ll pull the incomplete language files until they have the new strings for future releases so they don’t break the…

If you’d like to test a beta of my b2photos hack, let me know. I think it’s ready for a public trial. It now imports and uses IPTC data for the photo caption if the data is there (just for you Eric).

My body still hasn’t recovered from all the volleyball this weekend – I took my vitamin-I last night. We came in second in our softball league this season and our playoffs started last night. We played the #3…

I spoke with Matt today and it looks like I’ll be helping get the Hacks section up on wordpress.org. Fittingly, I think we’re going to use WordPress to drive the section. I’ve been wanting hack around with WordPress to use it as a more generic content management system; so this will be both a good…

I’ve released photos version 4.0 beta 3. I expect this will be the final 4.0 beta. This release adds a couple of nice features. The IPTC import functionality is the biggest change. I’ve added a note to the photos documentation detailing the way it works. The IPTC import is something that I added because it…

This is kind of obvious, but if you are having trouble getting your Mac to start up from a CD (hold down C at startup) or with extensions disabled (hold down Shift at startup) or from a different drive (hold down Option at startup), make sure your keyboard is plugged directly into the USB port…
