ANN: FeedDemon 1.11 - Security Update

FeedDemon no longer allows browsing URLs that use the ms-its, ms-itss, its, mk or mhtml protocols (here's why this is necessary).

Maybe I had better think about this for my Manila servers? Though I don't use frames, so we're probably safe.

Heh! Maybe the National Enquirer can do what every web developer dreams of — killing off MSIE.

Writing avi file size to jpeg thumbnails

Finally, I'm able to write text at the foot of my thumbnails. Imagemagick can be quite weird, idiosyncratic and frankly buggy sometimes. I had problems locating fonts, long file names, long text strings... Not to mention picking the right size for the font.
[Update: 02/07/04] I was using the imageMagick beta, so... And calling through the launch.appWithDocument when I've only used the com.callScript method in the past, and going back to this — it's much better.

I'd better look at the enclosure element in RSS 2.0 too. And as some of my doting father videos are even 30MB big, maybe bitTorrenting them?

Anyway, it's working. Need to add more user defined parameters like font, colour, position, etc.. And the next trick will be picking these up from MMS messages, or emailed messages from the next phone I'm getting. Whatever that's going to be.

Why am I doing this? We're off on holidays in a few weeks, and I want to blog while I'm on the beat, as it were. Last year I came back with 200 pictures in my digicam, took ages to sort out. Hopefully, I'll do most from a phone, adding captions to jpegs and AVIs, or whatever I'll be sending as I do it, on the hoof as it were.
