November 2003

A sucker for the fisheye, I.

I’ve moved over to using F-Spot fulltime. It is by far the best photo management tool I’ve used on Linux, and it’s only just begun. Once it has an image publication feature, there won’t be any going back.

Too many people.

A Charlottesville institution (great photo by Peach).

Can your employer do this?

Virginia wine cellar.

Off to India.

“Implicit query” from Microsoft. Ahem. I believe I was here first.

Home for Thanksgiving. My parents had a party last night.

Papa pours the poire.

Holy crap, imgSeek looks awesome:

The algorithm they use is here. This would be a great feature for F-Spot.

There was also some discussion today of a web backend for F-Spot so you could use it to browse people’s online albums.

Though I’ve been dangerously exhausted, the summit has been a blast so far. Lots of great people, lots of excitement and hacking.

One thing that didn’t end up in the bounties but that I think would be neat is an RSS backend for the calendar, so that you can see blog entries on a timeline in your calendar.

Today we made an excursion to B&H for some new camera equipment to better capture the intensity and energy of this conference.

Discussing libtool in the taxi.

Toward the end, I think the stress was getting to us.
