RDF in thumbnails e.g. Verdon, Moustiers, France

Describing and retrieving photos using RDF and HTTP

I do like the idea of being able to pull thumbnails up like this, that would be so cool.

Been talking in Radio's list re a photo tool for Radio with gheil. And my major concern was the descriptions or as they've described so minimally here: content schema. Nevertheless, I get the drift. I think that abouts wraps up the final jigsaw, pun intended.

I don't think there's a need to embed it in the actual pic is there? I've got my contextual information about my kids' pictures, which is the only thing I care about categorising. Though trivial to write it in, I don't like the idea of having it in two places, the blog item, and the pic... Hmm, has to be in there too <slaps head> The blog item sits in the description, Dublin Core, and all that old chap.

Here's a window in BBedit, with the nice colours, and the original
gheil also said: "PhotoMechanic http://www.camerabits.com/ is a good tool in the $ bracket. It manages database stuff (and hands editing over to PS), but has some annoying miscues in its DB i have not worked around yet: can't get the date to flow through, on either xml output or text output :-( "

Photomecanic looks pretty damn good actually. $150 OS X, Classic, and Win. Writes some stuff in to the correct parts of a JPEG, but seems to be based on a competing standard at least something else, more about news: "Digital Newsphoto Parameter Record (DNPR) version 4 -- This is the lower level file format for encapsulating digital news photographic data. It allows for editorial and technical information to be carried in the same file." Well, I suppose, my kids are news to me, and the family that read that category. Interesting to know this stuff. Maybe it's slipped me by.

FOAF

I got well into a tool to build FOAF files in Radio, the other day, love to finish that off. Here's my very first. I'm Johnny no friends at the bar, eek!

Clean and tidy art school nudes

artSchool.jpg

bedroom.JPG

Family's back tomorrow, gotta clean and get this pig shit dump looking like I haven't lived here on my own for two weeks. Air fresheners out, laundry put away, washed, beds changed, the whole kitchen floor gig!

I find out this, has been knocking about in our bedroom for well, since we moved in. Finally, I put it up. I think it'll mean something in years to come, so I mention it here.

She was the first fully naked babe I'd ever seen. I'd just turned 18, and found myself in Cardiff Art College, doing a foundation in art. Our group of 90 wonderfully pretentious, naive teenagers were first into the fabled, life drawing classes. Delicious.

Quick post: non fag up date!

35 days . I gave up smoking. Still going strong, at times, I almost forget about it.

<For split seconds 4 times an hour, I could murder a fag. I'd need to build another macro to multiply the above by (4 x 24 hrs) to find out how many cravings make a cold turkey. I've been lucky that those split seconds have not turned into the dancing cigarette hallucination. Not too many of those, in this trip to cleaner life.>

So have I missed them? Nah! <Deceitful sideways look.>

Further shortcut processing in Radio RSS feeds

callbackFix.jpg

I notice that some shortcuts aren't being added from weblogData.shortcuts.personal to user.html.glossary when they're brand new. Still have to find that code that marries up these shortcut tables, think it's at start up...

Anyway, I've added another call to processMacros, this time with the shortcuts in weblogData.shortcuts.personal directly ref'd.

If you're using the back log RSS tool and rely on shortcuts in your feeds, this fix will be important. Update your tool.

Cat Schwartz is one of the cute girls on TechTV. She posted some pictures of herself on her blog. Due to an obscure bug in Photoshop, she also inadvertently posted pictures of herself nude. [Via mFilter]

Family's back tomorrow from their hols... Been alone too long...

I'll have to be aware, though that the first few lines that are visible in the other site's trackback page, cannot be changed!
