New Office Workstation Setup

Will Wilkins — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:38:58 +0000

I updated my office setup with a new Westinghouse 22″ widescreen display. I know there are better monitors out there but I couldn’t pass up the deal on this one. $219.99 at Best Buy!

So, I spent half a day setting up the new monitor, cleaning up, moving things around and cleaning up the cable management.

You can check out all of the photos on flickr.

With the multiple monitors, Mac OS X, Ubuntu, Windows XP and being able to control it all via Synergy; I think I could have been considered for Lifehacker’s Coolest Workspace Contest.

Flickr Updates Uploadr for Mac OS X

Will Wilkins — Tue, 01 May 2007 21:09:40 +0000

I was happy to see Flickr (my favorite photo sharing service) updated their Flickr Uploadr for Mac OS X to Version 2.3, a Universal Binary. The new version of Uploadr is much faster than the previous. Flickr has added options to select which types of images you are uploading (photo, screenshot, or other) and the ability to set content filters on the images (safe, moderate, and restricted). I have been looking for this to be upgraded for some time now.

Major Malfunction With My Camera

Will Wilkins — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 04:42:27 +0000

I made a huge faux pas today and set my camera to 0.3 mpx for 90% of the photos of my family hunting Easter eggs. It was a case of O.E. (operator error). I didn’t even realize I had changed the setting when adjusted the white balance when we moved outside. Why do they even have the option to shoot 0.3 mpx on a 6 mpx camera? The resulting photos were only 640 X 480. This really bites because that is something I can’t fix in Aperture or Photoshop.

Well, I guess fuzzy, pixelated memories are better than none at all.

At least I was able to get this one:

We Are Having a Boy!

We went for Stacy’s 5 month sonogram last Friday and found out we are having a boy. Now we can really get a name picked out.

See more of the sonograms on my Flickr account.

New Features on Flickr: Layouts and Collections

Will Wilkins — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:30:47 +0000

Yesterday, Flickr rolled out options to change the layout of your photos page and a new level of photo organization – collections. I noticed that Flickr was running extremely slow on Monday. Now it is apparent that they were implementing the new features.

To change the layout of your photo page head over to your account preferences. There are currently 6 different layouts to choose from. “Customize your Photos page so it’s a little more “you”. Choose between 18 small or 5 medium sized photos, and decide if you’d like sets, or collections, or neither in the right hand column.”

The addition of collections now adds one more level of organization to your photos. Before Tuesday, there were only two levels of photo management, photos and sets. Collections now allow you to organize your sets into similar groups. Check out my thrown together collections.
