You know you’re trying to do too many things at once when… Managing browser tabs needs its own methodology, like GTD: Every week, go through your open tabs and close as many as you can. I don’t actually need to read that article. Not interested in this, any more. etc. Clearly, I fail. >.< Restoring… Continue reading Getting Tabs Closed

Blogging with images and WordPress
One things that WordPress is sorely missing is basic image handling. Blogging with images should be fast. Previously, I had gone as far as writing a script that would take all images in a directory, resize them, create thumbnails, and output the required html that I would then paste into the editor. Before that, I… Continue reading Blogging with images and WordPress
PhotoFile
Screenshot update! Still no version… as it’s still just a husk of a UI… mostly. I’ve changed the GUI quite a bit. Actually, what it is now took a surprisingly long time to arrive at. I spent time going through some ideas on paper, and I even did a huge amount of refactoring to make… Continue reading PhotoFile
GThumb has mangled my photos
For quite a long time, I’ve primarily been using GThumb to manage my photos. It’s fast, did approximately what I needed it to do and had this great “Apply physical transformation” checkbox on the Rotate tool. GThumb’s Rotate Images Tool What this did, was look at the Orientation information in the photo (as recorded by… Continue reading GThumb has mangled my photos
EXIF.py and Image Orientation
I was really puzzled… and in fact, I’m still puzzled, but at least it works now. Update: I’m a bit less puzzled now. I wasn’t using the correct version of EXIF.py (see comments). This post has been updated to correct any information. I also updated the CODE style because posting python code when whitespace is… Continue reading EXIF.py and Image Orientation
touch PhotoFile
So I’m going with the name PhotoFile for my new project. Clever, I know. Actually, not sure what exists out there already, like this or with a similar name. A quick google search didn’t reveal much. Either way, I’m sure nothing exists that is quite so perfect for ME (I’m incredibly selfish), and I think… Continue reading touch PhotoFile
Project()
I’m currently working on an idea I’ve been kicking around for a long time: This is being done in Python and PyGTK. It’s mostly just GUI stuff at the moment (none of the operations are functional), as I’m learning GTK as I go. And even though I’ve done a bit of reading regarding Python, it’s… Continue reading Project()
Love is in the air…
Two of my friends got married on August 25th, 2007. Congratulations to Kurtis and Nubia in São Paulo (sorry, I wasn’t able to attend), and Alex and Desiree in Vancouver (it was a very nice wedding). I’m happy for everyone! 😀 Also, within the same week, my big brother announced that he popped the question… Continue reading Love is in the air…
Don’t Throw Bottles!
Jesse and I went to the Commodore Ballroom and saw Brian Jonestown Massacre, Saturday night. Doors opened at 8. I think we entered around 8:30, grabbed a drink and settled at a table at the front. We chatted while waiting for the opening band to come out. I think they came out around 9:30 or… Continue reading Don’t Throw Bottles!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
So I got Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, for my Wii. The release date was listed as Aug 27th, so I went out to grab it late that day. However, Nintendo only ships on Tuesdays (for whatever reason) so I had to wait another day – what’s one more day, anyway? I haven’t played too much… Continue reading Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
