I’ve had major problems with missing photos and album inconsistencies with my iPhoto ’06 library whilst running Tiger, but since moving to iLife ’08 on Leopard thing have been working quite well. Until today. This black exclamation screen made me say, “Ack!” This is what happened. I had three event albums: x, y, & z. 1. I moved 30 photos from event album from album x into album y. 2. I renamed album x with the title of album y.…
I cannot tell you how giddy I am right now. I have been through the ringer trying to embed videos, create photo galleries, post videos, make buttons, side bar video thumbnails … It’s always a hassle, especially since I’m not a whizz at flash. I used Widgetbox.com for quite a few JS widgets for my revver videos, 2.0 mashups on my old blogspot blog. And since moving to WordPress, I’ve relied on the plethora of WP plug-ins. But more often…
Link to original article. Scrolling through my stats, I noticed a large increase in the number of visitors from France (mostly coming from the link on the Wired Magazine’s 2007 Sexiest Geeks.) I also tracked back some of the visitors to the article pictured below. I’ve included a paraphrased translation below, just incase you can’t read like a zillion foreign languages like I can, cuz of my 6 years+ of linguistically diverse university education (not that it’s a big deal…
1. Gordon Ramsay’s potty mouth. “Now reach in your pants and find your bollocks!” PS. how many mls is a knob of butter anyway? 2. Sufjan Stevens marathons. 143 plays last week according to lastfm. i find ol’ Sufjan maximizes my productivity with minimal distractions and doesn’t depress me or prompt unnecessary introspection like most of my music in the indie/folk genre. 3. Funny British TV shows. All these years I just thought I had an disagreeable sense of humour.…
The other day I met up with an old friend from my Blades of Glory days who asked, “When did you get so geeky with all that stuff on the internet?” (he’s not so technologically inclined). “You used to be so… organic,” he continued. I’m not entirely sure what he meant by “organic”… i blended well with shrubbery… i smelled a bit like dirt… i was tasty, good for you, and wasn’t sprayed in loads of pesticides??? Whatever he meant,…
Gravatar > No Gravatar. Uh, i don’t get it, what’s a Gravatar? “A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is a 80×80 pixel avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites.” Sounds awesome doesn’t it? but it must be super hard to do, right? wrong! “Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that’s required is your email address.” Just upload your personalized avatar, whether it is…
The Canadian Figure Skating championships were held in Vancouver this week. I managed to get up in time to see the Senior Dance event at 5pm. I know. I’m still on that 7am bedtime routine I seem to be good at. And I am a perfectionist, so everyday I try to perfect my unhealthy sleeping habits. I think I’ll go for gold tonight. 8am! yeah, that’ll win me some high marks from the judges. Oh yes! As you might know…
not one little bit. just look at that mushy, stodgy pasta with overcooked and mildly suspicious looking veg. bluuurrrgh. turns my stomach just thinking about it. my worst airplane food experience was on an Air Transat flight from Cancun, Mexico back home to Vancouver (see below screenshot as evidence). it’s hard to really discern what kind of food it actually is. it took me a few minutes to figure out which parts i was supposed to eat. apparently, it was…
