Another thing that kind of bug me about this evening photoblogging presentation is that I can, and am (I feel), as good if not better than most of the photographers presenting their work. Just because I don’t promote my photos on fotolog.net or I didn’t have the time to go on photo expedition everyday for the last 18 months doesn’t mean I am lesser photographer than them. But yet, they get the fame and glory and I am just the geek sitting in the chair enduring 2 hours of awful photos show.
Great Moblogging Features on TypePad
SixApart announced some very nifty moblogging features for MovableType and TypePad today at DEMO 2004.
They are all very cool, especially armed with a camera mobile phone or smartphone like P900, but where are the file management tools for regular TypePad users who don’t do moblogging?
Finding Sushi
Leah and I had just have the worst dinning experience at Sushi House @ Hoboken. First we were ignored for 20 minutes before our orders were taken. Then over 30 minutes elapsed before our food arrived and both of our orders were wrong. I accepted mine but Leah’s was completely out of wack! She replaced her order of Torikatsudon (Chicken Katsu Don) with a Veggie Combo Sushi, hoping that it would be quick to make. That took another 45 minutes before her sushi arrived and by then we had to have it to-go. By that time we had been in the restaurant for over an hour and a half! We could have watched a movie! Meanwhile, our waters were never re-filled, waiters were ignoring us, and the chief apologized to the tables on both of our sides but not us (by the way, they had much more elaborate orders and arrived on time).
And I broke tradition and paid no tips whatsoever! And after seeing what Leah’s sushi was like after we got home, I think we should have a refund.
Sushi House @ Hoboken had lost a pair of regular customers since we have sushi at least once a week. Instead, we are sticking to our favorite, Westside Sushi, on West 50th St./9 Ave in Manhattan.
Bloody snow again!
On our way to cinema. (Moblogging from my t68i)
Auto clean up in Mac software
What is with this automatic clean up (move to Trash) process employed by some of the Mac software developers? Take VueScan as an example (there are many others), I’ve just downloaded the latest version which is a piece of great software. When the disk image file is downloaded, an automatic process performs the followings:
- Mount the disk image
- Copy the folders and/or files inside the disk image to the current folder (in my case, the Desktop)
- Dismount the disk image
- Move the original disk image file to Trash
