Typically I’ve always used F-Spot to transfer the photos from my DSLR to my hard drive. I like the way it arranges my photos: /home/user/photos/yyyy/mm/dd.
However, I don’t use F-Spot for managing my photos. There are various reasons for that and I’m pursuing the use of IPTC data for tagging the photos directly (and not using […]
So I’m checking out the We Are Smarter Than Me site (google it - they get no linkage from me). Hmm, nice, an interview with Doc Searls, a current one with Mike Arrington. Neat.
But there’s no download link (that I can see) for the mp3 file. Oh, okay. There’s the little orange XML button. I’ll […]
I’m not sure if it’s just a Canadian thing, but this recent AutoTrader commercial made me laugh - especially the last part of it. Dunno if it’s the coughing or the howl at the very end. This reminds me of more than a couple of my high school friends:

Via the Open Font Library Mailing list comes news of Font Matrix, a font manager for Linux. The opening line on the front page shows much promise:
“Fontmatrix is a font manager for Linux users. I repeat, for users.”
Very nice indeed. There are not pre-built versions at this point - it is an 0.2 release […]
I was in Niagara Falls (Ontario) this weekend for a quick mini-vacation. On the first night, after checking in, (to the Doubletree which I highly recommend and is suprisingly affordable this time of year) I drove down to a 7-Eleven on the corner to grab a carton of milk.
When I approached the counter there […]
I was a little disappointed to hear the lack of love for the Openbox window manager during the most recent LinuxLinkTechShow. I’ve been happily using Openbox on top of Ubuntu for a few months now. I like it so much that I’m using it in on the Gutsy VM I have running on my XP-pro […]
Several months ago I noticed that my posts were showing up on spam blogs every once in a while. Then it all stopped. But in the past week or so I’ve seen 4 or 5 a day come in through my highly egotistical technorati and google blog searches that I keep in my Google Reader […]
I don’t know about you, but the last two Apple ads I’ve seen on TV (the Mac vs PC thing) are really starting to annoy me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really like Microsoft. But I’ve always been an ‘underdog’ kind of guy - with Linux being my perennial hero of course ;). Even […]
On a recent TechGuy podcast I heard about this Eye-Fi Wireless SD card that comes with built-in wi-fi capability. Yes wi-fi right inside the SD-card!
So the gist of it is that you can transfer pictures to your pc or mac without even taking the card out of the camera. And this would be camera […]
I’ve never had complete satisfaction with a distribution upgrade although they seem to get substantially less painful for me with each iteration.
So in the midst of vacuuming the house this morning, I decided what the hell.. I’ll do the Gutsy upgrade. I logged out of Openbox and into my old standard Beryl/Metacity setup. I […]
