Our interior painting is done. It was actually done this weekend, but after seeing it we decided to have him repaint one area that was a little too dark. The result is a subtle but very important difference in the lighting in our entryway. It looks a lot better. I used to look at projects…

Unfortunately the person’s mail server is bouncing the mail I send to the e-mail address he used (and I’ve tried sending from a few different SMTP servers). Since I don’t know another way to contact…

I think I’m about 75% done with the internationalization and English localization of Photos for a 4.1 release. The problem is I can’t resist refactoring a bunch of code along the way. 🙂 It will be good to get this version out, especially with the bug fixes from version 4.0. This post is part of…
