Like when my mother-in-law is behind the wheel, I still don’t think I’d be able to take my eye off the road…

Comment on book covers for home libraries by SF

It is a silly thing – I really want to keep my bookshelves. Observing the kids – there is a big difference for them whether to pick a book from a virtual list or off a shelf.Â

How about digital shelfs likeÂ
http://www.shelfari.com/Â Â ,Â
http://www.goodreads.com/Â Â orÂ
http://www.chromeexperiments.com/detail/webgl-bookcase/Â . The only problem is to show them on a room wall in the hous. But it’s temporal. It would be much easear to lend digital books from such shelf to many people without fear that it would be lost. Â And semantic search might be really helpful to find approprieate books on the shelf.

Comment on Lost sale – a tale of a forgotten password by SF

I know Amazon owns Zappos, but it seems to be operated as a separate unit – and at least in this case their password recovery policies were different.

Comment on 2010 Old Year – Resolutions by SF

SF — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 04:14:00 +0000

I am finding that not to be the case. I am able to keep in touch with old college friends mostly through facebook, IM, and email. I am not going to claim that we are have a closer relationship through technology, but I definitely feel that the original claim – “makes it easier to keep in touch” is true. I know the people with whom I never had an electronic relationship I have fallen out of touch with a lot earlier.

Comment on 2010 Old Year – Resolutions by Lenny Zeltser

Regarding: “Technology does help to keep in touch”…

Perhaps technology only provides the illusion of keeping in touch, and that false sense of closeness actually makes it easier for people to drift further apart. Maybe it depends on the relationship and the technology.

Comment on Door handles – color tells the tale by SF

SF — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 15:12:00 +0000

Excellent question. Most of our doors *are* almost always open during
the day. So perhaps this is a limitation to my theory, but I do not
think so

One could extend the theory to conference rooms — if your office
conference rooms do not have handles that have seen some use — how
are you collaborating?

What I found, anecdotally, is that people with doors always open or
doors always closed are not the ones with really “connected” people.
Doors always open means the person in them is not really working on
tasks requiring concentration, or interacting with other people –
which is often loud. I will usually almost close the door when working
with others, and keep it completely open or closed depending on the
intensity of the task. All of these actions touch the handles.

And no – none of the photos are of my door handle.

Ah, but I could not install and configure the plugin without knowing the password :)

Anyway, I knew the password would come back to me the second I got in, which is precisely what happened.

Another option ....
install the 'WP-Mail-SMTP' plugin (http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/wp-mail-smtp/) ... it allows forgotten passwords to be sent via e-mail.

How can you say crane and backhoe operators make $80 per hour when other sites list them as making $13.82 to $32?

[…] A previous post on this site had a few comments about the different pieces of software I use. All of them have now been replaced with Lightroom. […]

Comment on A new addition to the “family” by Rourke McNamara

Rourke McNamara — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 21:02:54 +0000

For RAW I use:

* Nikon View to generate JPG Previews in the NEF
* Nikon View to rotate
* iView MediaPro (now owned by MS) to sort, choose, rename, and annotate
* Nikon Capture to batch convert
* SendToSmugmug to upload

I’m experimenting with Lightroom to do smarter, more individual conversion. I’m a little afraid of muching with the images too much without actually seeing them on a proper monitor.

For JPG:
* ACDSee to rotate
* iView MediaPro (now owned by MS) to sort, choose, rename, and annotate
* SendToSmugmug to upload

And I just use iTunes for music, also.

Comment on A new addition to the “family” by Slava

Slava — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 23:07:40 +0000

I use a combination of ACDSee, Picasa, and increasingly Adobe Bridge to view pictures. Once I started shooting RAW, everything was too slow on my machine, but with newer versions of all of these 3 programs the experience has improved markedly.

I have been experimenting with Adobe Lighroom product, and it seems extremely good. Have not had a chance to try Apple Aperture yet.
