I did the pumpkin on the left. Sori, our Korean homestay student did the pumpkin of Sky (our cat) in the centre. Maki, our Japanese homestay student, did the ghost pumpkin on the right. Unfortunately, Maki’s already returned to Japan, so she doesn’t get to experience Halloween. 🙁 There’s some houses that go crazy with… Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Unexpected Revival
Due to various other things, (some within my control, others not), I haven’t worked much on PhotoFile since I last posted. Some of these things continue to require some of my attention. I had planned to have a minimally usable version out by the end of September, but now I’m not sure that will happen.… Continue reading Unexpected Revival
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
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()
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!
Cold Turkey Salad
I had this yesterday and it was so good I’m having it again today. It’s a nice salad for a hot day, made from a bunch of stuff that happened to be in the fridge: Mixed organic greens turkey avocado red pepper apple orange pine nuts dried cranberries raspberry vinaigrette Okay, so the pine nuts… Continue reading Cold Turkey Salad
Scanning in Linux
After actually using my all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier thing for scanning some photos, I’ve discovered it’s not actually that great as a scanner; Jack of all, master of none, I guess. It has trouble differentiating any dark colour from black, so the resulting scans have an excessive amount of black in them and generally much fewer colours… Continue reading Scanning in Linux
Graduation at UBC and Dinner in the Cove
On Monday, May 28th, 2007, I had the fortune of officially graduating UBC with a Bachelor of Science. The degree fails to mention both my major, Computer Science, and Co-op. Anyway, feels very good to be done! 😀 You can’t tell, but that piece of paper has writing on it written in my blood (sweat,… Continue reading Graduation at UBC and Dinner in the Cove
