  • I'm watching my linux box compile Xfree 4.3.0-r7. W00t. After that it's going to compile about a zillion other things and then eventually get to GIMP 2.0.4. This is the magic of gentoo... You get to watch your software assemble itself.

    I've been putting a bunch of thought into the problem of cataloging vast quantities of digital photos, and the workflow for efficient and safe backups. As far as the workflow is concerned, there's this thing, which the author pretensiously calls 'iOPlan.' It's not a bad way to go, but it requires way too many steps. I want the software to do the thinking for the workflow, and not have to keep track of it. As far as cataloging... Well, maybe I'll spring for the newer iPhoto. Or not. Or something.

    Which brings me to this: Photo Tools CM, a Mac OS X contextual menu that lets you do all kinds of nifty things to EXIF/JPEG image files, right from the finder.
