From Samuel Sidler on the Camino Update Blog comes word that Camino 1.1B has been released.
The Beta Site has info and download links for the release which includes updated Spell Checking, new Popup Blocking and other annoyance prevention features and other goodies.
For digital photographers, particularly people shooting any sort of volume of RAW files you may find you need a better workflow for ‘development’ and organization of the photographs then simply storing the files on your file system and then opening a few at a time in Adobe Photoshop. Into that gap has come a few new applications including Apple’s Aperture. More recently, Adobe has finished work on its Lightroom application and moved it from a long public period to an official 1.0 release.
With that release two professional photographers and bloggers, Micah Walter and Michael Clark, have committed their time and expertise to putting both Aperture and Lightroom through the paces on a typical week or so of shooting and editing.
46 days ago I launched a redesign of Place Name Here. New design, new tagging features, some content refreshes and a few promises.
44 days ago I last posted on anything at all.
Tonight I’m looking at the site realizing how far that I’ve let things slide around here and I really need to force myself to get back into the habit of posting. And this doesn’t count.
Michael Kaply just posted an update to his great Operator extension for Firefox. Sporting some performance and UI tweaks Operator 0.6, the plugin gives users some helpful interface tools to link microformat data in the current web page to other services like Google Maps [instantly find a Geo coordinate on a map] or Technorati [for tag lookup].
Get the Operator addon then take it for a spin around ChunkySoup.net or Place Name Here.
Hey look, I did it!
After roughly six months of sitting on a design I was happy with I’ve found both the time and ambition to finish building an update to Place Name Here. Not quite sure what version of the site this is, but 6 seemed like a good number when I started.
Like with all previous versions of the site the new layout is fairly simple, and doesn’t use a lot of images or tricks to play things up. This site always proves to be difficult to rebuild in a uniform way because of the patchwork of different side projects, and technical demos that have been posted since the site first launched in late 1998. The new design and slightly rearranged navigation will hopefully help give a better perspective of what is hiding on the site.
