There was a post on ARS Technica asking if people have used photos over iPhoto. Here is my response: I’d say that photos does a different job than either iPhoto or Curator and each app has a place in my toolbox. photos is a database. Like all databases it is used to store and retrieve…

We played in another reverse co-ed 4’s volleball tournament today (intermediate division) and won it! This means in next month’s we have to play in the Take No Prisoners division – I doubt we’ll even get out of pool play and into the playoffs in that division. 🙄 It was a very long but satisfying…

I re-wrote the HTML toolbar I’m including in tasks 1.7. I’m fairly pleased with it now, and it should be easy for people to modify (to add other tags they want, etc.) if they want to. I’m going to release b1 of 1.7 early next week. The code that does the conversion from UTF-8 to…

This is a good thing. Seattle is getting whooped by KC, this is a bad thing.

I don’t think I’ll do this, but it’s an interesting idea: the software remains free, but each download costs $1. Just $1. I think it’s safe to say that most people could afford to pay $1 to download one of my apps/hacks/etc. You download it, can’t get it to work, don’t like it, etc.? Too…

I’m watching the All-Star game right now (love the TiVo), but it is just agonizing having to listen to Tim McCarver do the broadcast. C’mon guys, it’s the All-Star game, get someone good in the booth. Someone like John Miller, Dave Niehaus or Bob Costas (I loved him doing the World Series). Furcal just threw…

I was complaining earlier about donations not coming in very often, so when I get almost a donation a day like I have over the few days I’m happy to acknowledge it. A big thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It really makes me feel good when people like the software enough…

There is a bug in photos 4.0b2 (probably in b1 as well) that keeps the preview image from showing sometimes on the view screen. Don’t worry, it is just a small bug in the way I handled the expected file name for display. It does not affect the way the data is saved or anything…

I’ve released photos 4.0 beta 2. This suppresses the PHP warning messages that appeared from time to time and adds multi-keyword searching on the URL field. I’ve started with the IPTC data parsing/import, but I’m not ready to release that yet and I wanted to get these changes out. This post is part of the…

photos Version 4.0 beta 2 has been released.

Now that I’m going to be putting more photos up on the site here, I wanted to automate the workflow as much as possible. One of the things I wanted to do was add a copyright notice to the bottom of each photo. This isn’t as straightforward in a Photoshop action as it could be.…

Aaron Swartz points us to an entry on censorware. He’s doing his part to help. Two handy Mac OS X utilities, Dockless and Trash It! have made their way onto my PowerBook. I came across this site in a Google search for something CSS related. I love the simple design… really well done. This is…

I’ve worked on the previously mentioned b2photos hack this weekend. I’m getting close to being ready to release it for people to use. It has several limitations and hardcoded assumptions (location of the photos, files) you’ll need to conform to if you want to use it, but it works. Here are some photos I took…

I’ve started using tasks 1.7b1 (not yet released) which features a redesigned, localized mobile version that will (eventually) work on Japanese cell phones. I thought it was going to work already, but I didn’t realize I was going to have to swap the encoding from utf-8 to Shift_JIS for display in that format. Doing this…

I’ve got a bunch of these little RSS icons scattered around here now. Here is a brief explanation of what they all are. In the sidebar, there are now 2 RSS links. The top one, RSS Blog, is the main RSS feed. It contains the recent blog entries, but it does not contain comments. The…
