I was going to Aside this entry, but I realized there’d be too many words I’d want to convey in relation to the issue. With that said — I took about half the day yesterday, trying to determine why on Earth FWTools and OpenEV wouldn’t load — passing out a bizarre error message:

The Web interface could use some minor CSS tweaking — but it looks like a great start. [Sources: Slashgeo · All Points] · (0)

I don’t expect Mr. Gelman (shown shaking hands with President Reagan) to retract his claims, undoubtedly, unlike himself, as additional corroborative evidence suggests that, unfortunate for him, undoubtedly, some of us realized his attempt at pushing false information to his readers, unfortunate for him, undoubtedly. — Avi’s definition of Neotard adequately explains this guy, in my opinion, undoubtedly. · (0)

I actually didn’t realize there were so many ways to implement Gravatar, and across so many other platforms — until I signed up and created my own through the very quick and easy process. · (2)

- Sat, 27 Oct 2007 at 6:00 am · I upgraded the site to WordPress 2.3.1 over a morning coffee. One of the major upgrades last week was to version 2.3 — after waiting awhile until a few plug-ins caught-up. I still have to go through the entire site and clean-up the taxonomy — recategorizing and adding tags, possibly sending a couple of the less interesting posts to the bin. I’m really digging this upgraded schema though — kind of can’t wait to see if someone figures out they can tie-in the taxonomy structure with a visual representation of tagged images. · (0)

(I used to work for Mark back in the day, with Garrett and Dave and team.) As of October 12, they released OSSIM with support for BigTIFF and improved KML/KMZ support with Collada models in OSSIM Planet. · (0)
Easy Asides for WordPress
October 26th, 2007 · 36 Comments
I was looking for a way to incorporate Asides posts in my WordPress template, and came across a few options. Unfortunately, none of the options that I found would accomodate the way that I have my AdSense ads recursing through the loop to figure out at what position to place them. (Unfortunately, you have a […]

The Many Faces of Social Networking
October 24th, 2007 · No Comments
The term Avatar is generally synonymous with the metaverse — but in social-networking circles, the term Gravatar has become a widely adopted term. These are the little 75 or 80 pixel square icons that users add to their profiles, or share attached with accounts and services — to display globally in forums, blogs, news sites, […]

Seam Carving Round-Up
October 10th, 2007 · 2 Comments
There’s been a great deal of buzz for a couple months, concerning a technology known as Seam Carving — also being refered to as Content Aware Image Resizing or Aware Image Resizing. I’ve been experimenting with this for awhile, and I’m seeing some wonderful potential and practicaliy in its use — though, at the moment, […]

- Thu, 4 Oct 2007 at 6:53 pm · I caught the release of the WordPress Petition Plug-in through the feeds, and couldn’t help but note it. I’ve wondered how long it would be for the blogosphere to incorporate utility to organize and project in the true spirit of democracy — the inherent functionality that the Internet affords us, above all else. Unfortunately, my technical geek-ish-ness is usually undermined by being just as aware that there remains to be only ~50% of the US population with access to the Internet. A sobering thought, isn’t it? Perhaps ironic — about the same number of people typically turn-out to vote in elections. · (0)
