Of Diego and iPhoto

So apparently my mom got her own camera, which means that she sent me a lot of new pictures of her dog. If you're so inclined, check out these pictures of the cute little shit.

Anyway, these pictures actually reminded me that I really need to get my dad set up with iPhoto, since he's still doing all of his organization by hand.

And on the subject of iPhoto, I found this Better Html Export iPhoto plugin the other day, and because of it I found a feature of iPhoto I'd never noticed before.

The main reason I haven't played much with iPhoto is because as far as I could tell, its HTML capabilities only interfaced with mac.com (via the Share/Homepage button). I never noticed the option under Share/Export for Export Web Page to export an album to be uploaded wherever.

And with Better Html Export, I'm not considering switching from my current train wreck of a photo album to an iPhoto based album. There'd be more manual work involved on my part, but at the same time, I'd get clean URLs and more customization options for my albums. Of course, it's nothing I'm going to worry about right now, or even until I start taking more pictures again. I haven't been taking very many pictures just because my damn camera is so huge that it's just impossible to carry around regularly. I want a smaller camera.

Yes, I'm really stretching to find things to pre-blog about at this point. I'm sure I'm enjoying Canada, if it makes you feel any better. ;-)

BIKR DOG

I walked past a dog in leather sitting on a Harly on my way to lunch today. "That's cute", I thought. I figured his own had just gone inside of one of the nearby restaurants for lunch. After I'd gotten my food, I walked past the dog again, only this time, I noticed the Harly's plate, which read "BIKR DOG." It was then that I realized that it wasn't that his owner had left him outside, but that BIKR DOG had to wait for his friends on his harly, because Berkeley's eateries wouldn't allow a dog inside. Hmm... I wonder how BIKR DOG reaches the peddles?

Catproof Computer Keyboard

Well... I think this is actually legit. PawSense is apparently a bit of software which is supposed to detect when a cat is walking on the keyboard, lock the screen, and then make cat annoying noises... Seems like a waste of time to me. Just use xlock, no worries.

Seen a Kitten?

Actually, apparently, my brother claims to have seen Gwydyr. Good thing! She's not gone, she's just gone wild after living outside for like three months.

I wonder how hard it is to find housing in Berkeley that allows pets.

I wonder if it'd be harder to catch Kitty than it'd be to find housing in Berkeley that allows pets.

Why Didn’t you FEED Her?

One afternoon I had been at home, sick, and as I was sitting there Gwydyr meowed at me. I looked at her, and then at the food I was eating, and realized that she probably hadn't eaten for some time. Awhile later my mom came in, looked around and asked me what Gwydyr had been eating since she wouldn't go in the rest of the house where the food was since my brother had gotten his dog.
