Vox...
Lessee…
- AJAXey goodness.
- Management for photos, audio, and video as well as text/journal entries.
- A single RSS (er, Atom) feed for all my friends. (Not sure if that will contain their photos as well as their writings.)
- Bulleted lists. :)
I am definitely liking this Vox thing. If there’s a tool to let me import my LiveJournal posts, I’m switching and never looking back.
Read more...Orbitz “customer care” has been e-mailing us every two weeks to notify us of changes to our flight itinerary to Omaha. Not a change in carriers or flight numbers, but arrival and departure times.
The average change is about 3 minutes. I have to carefully compare the new to the old each time to verify it, though. :P If buying this early weren’t saving us hundreds of dollars, I might be annoyed.

If you haven’t experimented with the online photo printing services, now would be a good time to start. I simply selected all my starred photos in Picasa, clicked the “order prints” button, and they were uploaded to the service of my choice (SnapFish) for printing.
$90 got us about 600 4x6 prints, and since it was only our best work, anyone flipping through them should be sufficiently wowed. (And no guilt for throwing away crappy shots that you paid money to have developed.) In one fell swoop, it eliminates the last remaining weakness of going digital: no physical prints for people to flip through.
Oh, and we also created a photo book of our honeymoon, with one for the wedding soon to follow. Not manually affixing photos into an album is a Good Thing.

Still, it’s perfect for a small project. As a trial run, I released my iTunes Perl control script under the GPL. (I’d been meaning to do it for months anyway.) Project page is here.

- Add del.icio.us bookmarks for a few of your favorite sites/articles.
- Go to your bookmarks page, and click one or more of the “saved by X other people” links. Choose ones with the lowest number of matches, because that will weed out a lot of people with tastes that differ from yours.
- Click one or more of the user names in the “posting history” on the right.
- Review the articles they’ve posted. If you like what you see, click the “add X to your network” link at the top of the page. Favor people who have a low overall post count (less spam), and who have posted in the last month or so (no dead accounts).
- Go to http://del.icio.us/network to view the articles posted by everyone you’ve added. There’s an RSS feed link at the bottom of that page, but I can’t get it to import to Google Reader at the moment.

Read more...I have nearly 700 automatically generated classes here in front of me. I need exactly one of those 700 classes, and I can’t just keep the others because some of them won’t compile. Unfortunately, I don’t know which of the others that one class depends on.
The best solution I can come up with right now is to move all but the target class to the trash, attempt to compile, and restore the classes it says are missing, one by one.
It’s going to be a long afternoon.
