I just realized that the URL for the default RSS feed was wrong in the site’s head. For those of you subscribed to treemeat.com/rss/index.php, please change that to treemeat.com/index.xml.
This’ll ensure that no one is left out when changes get made down the road; index.xml will ALWAYS be the sites rss feed url, which right now redirects to the /rss/index.php file, but may redirect to something else later on, ya feel me?
I’m out until the new year. Happy War on Christmas!
You can’t tell at this size, but this scanner is so sweet, “Penske” is legible on the door of the truck at full size.
So Aperture’s here and everyone’s getting their licks in. Ars Technica has published a comprehensive review of it’s faults, pretty much poo-pooing it through till the end. Frasier Spears, author of the excellent FlickrExport for iPhoto, has been running through it as well, while looking into it’s plugin architecture, for a FlickrExport for Aperture (and having some luck) with it.
Raul Gutierrez from the also excellent Mexican Pictures, has a laundry list of issues (though I think he’d need a supercomputer for “several hundred gigs of negatives scanned at 4000dpi”), while Justin Ouellette from Chromogenic (excellence need not be mentioned), is mostly gushing.
I’ve been using it lightly for the past couple of days and am on the gushing side, but mostly about what the program WILL be, but isn’t yet. I can mostly ignore the problems with RAW format exporting, since I’m back in a film-only state of mind right now, but I don’t really dig the one-library-file-no-folder-structure way of things, as it was always pretty easy for me to scan directly to a folder and have iView check the folders for new files.
I still think it’s a pretty outstanding piece of software, has a ton of potential, but like me in third grade, just doesn’t play well with others. And hopefully it’ll stop running so damn slow when I get a decent video card.
