Wordpress 2.5 Upgrade March 30th, 2008
Ok, so WP 2.5 is out and I have to say the upgrade was a breeze thus far. I will see how it affects my broken theme with this post. I have to say I love the new admin interface, its a lot cleaner with an easier interface although it may need a slight tweak with higher screen resolutions as it currently only fills about 60% of my screen when browser is maximized.
Well done to all involved, I am looking forward to 2.6 already, I think its the start of something wonderful.
Man With Cock March 30th, 2008
Standing around outside our casa in Trinidad, friends pointed out this old gentleman walking up the street. I waited despite their cries for “take a photo”, till he had passed me. He looked as if he had a long, hard life, but was obviously quite happen with his bird in the hand.
Cuba 2008 March 28th, 2008
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cuba. Of course I took my trusty Nikon with me, so over the next few days I will upload a few of the images that I captured. Starting off is this typical street scene of Habana

Using Adobe Lightroom with Flickr Uploader March 5th, 2008
My everyday laptop runs Ubuntu, however for photo editing, I still use and prefer Photoshop. Now since I’ve gone digital, I’ve gone out an bought Adobe Lightroom. I also use Flickr a lot, so I wanted to work flickr uploader into LightRoom. One trick Adobe missed was having a decent plugin system for Lightroom, hopefully they will reconsider this in subsequent releases, however I suspect they will want to run their own little Flickr clone at some stage.
Anyhow, to get flickr integrated into lightroom, simple do the following
- Download and install Flickr Uploader
- Copy the desktop shortcut created and paste it to c:\Documents And Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions
- Fireup Lightroom
- Select a photo, then select export
- At the bottom of the export window, in Post Processing, select Flickr Uploader
- Your done
Its making my life a lot easier already. Enjoy.

A member of the Reclaim the Streets group delivers a statment after claims that gardai attaked them during a peaceful protest in May 2002 (AFAIR)
This photo is one of 10,000 from my archive that I am slowly scanning. Fuji Neopan 400. No idea about anything else now
Help… I’m adicted to domain names February 29th, 2008
Okay, I think this is getting out of hand. I am addicted to domain names. It seems that whenever I have an idea, the first this I do its register the domain name. Its gotta stop, its gonna become an expensive habbit.
The last few domains I registered were;
- hosting386.com
- noyahoomerger.com
- noyahoomsftmerger.com
- ishotsheargar.com
- whoshotsheargar.com
- networkonce.net
- spamberry.com
- mailberry.com
And thats just the ones I’ve registed with myself, never mind the ones I registered with Adam or Michele. I don’t even remember those ones! Ohh god I have to stop.
And it just does not end there, I just thought after performing an update on Druid DNS, I would come up with a new name for it, so what did I do… yeah, I now own
- domain-junkie.com
- domain-junkie.net
Will it ever end?
The best (and quickest) $30 I have ever spent February 28th, 2008
I was having a quick conversation with Donnacha about a few things today and I mentioned something about Amazon S3. Which of course led to the inevitable discussion about the recent outage there. So we chatted and he sent me a few mails and a link to Barry’s blog on Wordpress.
What I was interested in was the AWS post, but as I read the comments/trackbacks I noticed a link to http://blog.animoto.com/. The name was cool so I said I would check it out, as I sometimes do still “surf round” from time to time.Alas I got a 404 for the post, but me being curious persisted and I substituted the blog for www and have never been so happy that I did. Animoto is a cooler than cool web service that allows the user to upload photos or point them at their flickr/facebook photos then they select or upload their own mp3 and hey presto a few min later you have a video montage of your photos.

Google Hacking .IE February 23rd, 2008
Considering this week the Irish government have been pushing is “Make IT Secure” (I wonder how much and how long that took to come up with), I decided to put out something on one of my interests, Google Hacking (g.H.). Google hacking is simply the construction of a search to find information that is available to the public that really should not be, or that provides information about software products running on sites that may pose a security threat to the integrity of the site. It is not limited to the use of the Google search engine as almost any major search engine can be used to find this content. It is legal to run such queries so long as you do not posses the intention to use that information in the furtherance of a crime, however it may be against the site owners terms of service to access such information. It is against all major search engine vendor terms of service to automate such searches. It is also quite stupid to leave this information available to the public.
