Gallery installation and iPhoto integration

January 2, 2004

Gallery installation and iPhoto integrationMatt Raible has great things to say about Gallery. He asks about .mac import/export. It is possible at least to some extent by telling Gallery to upload a URL. If you have the URL of your album on .mac you can have it upload the URL to Gallery. Not perfect and there are several of the ancillary graphics that you have to make sure are unchecked.

DIMM0/J12

January 1, 2004

I was looking for documentation on which memory slot is which in the white (flat screen) iMac. System profiler doesn't really say other than DIMM0/J12 and DIMM1/J13. Since one is not user accessible and one is it seems that the internal slot might be 0 and the external 1. Alas it appears that it is the opposite. DIMM0/J12 is the SO-DIMM PC100-2225 ram that users can access and upgrade.

Are you your stories?

December 31, 2003

Dave Winer asks a question on Scripting News today. The question is a bit of a different form, but one that I've often contemplated. What is reality? Is your "reality" and my reality the same? Is each person's reality so shaped by their perception and experience that is is unique? Dali asks the same question in this painting. Is it possible for people to be more than the sum of their stories. Does anything other than your stories, those you have lived, show you the swans first or the elephants?

12 or 15 inches?

December 29, 2003

The 12-inch powerbook stayed at home this trip. Instead I brought the 15-inch machine. All around it is a great machine. It is obviously not as compact. Since I recently recovered the drive from a client's Ti-Book that had suffered from a glass of water on the keyboard I am more sensitive to liquids around the computers these days. This brings me to the observation that one of the advantages of the 12-inch is that it fits on the tray in an aircraft with room for drinks and snacks beside it. With the 15-incher you're left to hand hold your cup and can of soda or bottle of beer while the machine is out.

Departing for Denver

December 29, 2003

In Las Vegas at McCarran Airport awaiting the winged chariot to carry us home to Denver. It's been a wonderful few days. I didn't get as much done on some of my PHP projects as I should have but I'll catch up on the flight and at home tonight. Still have a broken knob on the fireplace so there will be no fire, but there will be dogs to keep the feet warm. I'm trying to upload pictures now but they keep stalling. Some pictures show Las Vegas as the city prepares for the New Year's celebration. It's been cold out west. The longer we stay the colder it gets. The song of the moment is Simon and Garfunkel's Homeward Bound. Less than two MB has transfered and it says it's getting all of 2.3KB/s.... pictures will have to wait until later. Otherwise I've been pretty impressed with the cell connection this trip.
