I spent a bit more time on the RSS fetcher since my last post. Mostly I fixed some dup-detection issues and defined a more useful format for the message bus messages. It’s not really where I would call it “complete”, but it’s been good enough that I took rawdog out of […]
I suppose it was only a matter of time. For various reasons, chiefly among them that I wanted to see how it’d work out, I’ve been working on an RSS fetcher. Sometimes I’ve had ideas for things to do with an RSS feed, but either it didn’t justify having another thing […]
I moved my photo site back to a machine I control directly. It’s probably not going to stay there, but it does free me from debugging everything twice when I want to add features.
Since the last Singleshot release I’ve fixed a bunch of bugs in IPTC parsing (and added a fallback to use […]
Also, apparently something else is also behaving differently on NearlyFreeSpeech, breaking the ImageMagick processor.
I compensated with an awful hack and, just to be sure, pregenerating all of the view images so I can go to bed without, hopefully, leaving photos.xythian.com woefully broken.
I think NearlyFreeSpeech is going to have to go. They seem […]
A fascinating discovery, a while after I launched my shiny new site about which I was very proud: mmap is all well and good on Linux on my home machine and on Dreamhost, but apparently doesn’t work on NearlyFreeSpeech. This .. is problematic for photos.xythian.com.
Singleshot 2.0.1, featuring:
Add ~ expansion to singleshotinit.py –root
Fix situation when rewritebase is /
Fix RSS feed (publish_time is now a datetime always); RSS feed now works…
Modify month_dir so it creates datetimes at midnight rather than dates — dates can’t be sorted with datetimes.
Change limits on recent images to take advantage of pagination.
Fix handling in IPTC parsing […]
After the walk along Moss Landing State Beach, I continued down Route One to the 17 Mile Drive. This was the first time I had driven along the 17 Mile Drive. There are some spectacular views, but being surrounded by a golf course was strange. Spectacular untouched Pacific Coast, […]
My 5D arrived late yesterday. I took it down to Monterey via Santa Cruz along the coast to get a feel for it.
It’s sort of anticlimatic to hold — it feels just like the 20D. The viewfinder is nicer and it’s nice that I can use all of the lens now. […]
A friend pointed me at ShellExView for listing and selectively en/disabiling Windows shell extensions. Hopefully now I’ll be able to figure out which recently installed app is making Explorer frequently hang several seconds.
