So it looks like there are only three reasonably priced RAW conversion programs for the Mac: Bibble Pro 4.3 (~130$), Capture One LE 3.7.1 ($99), and Nikon Capture 4.3 ($99). I tried all three, and Capture One LE seems to have the best output. It’s large advantage in my case is that it is very […]
It looks like smugmug is also starting to use some heavy javascript. I see that hitting ‘next’ or ‘previous’ now does a simple html munge instead of reloading the entire page.

I don’t really get how they manage to keep the costs under control. Anyhow it’s way cheaper both in time and cost than maintaining my own server to store photos (I might even […]
So a while ago, I bought a Linksys WRT54GS, so that I could stop using internet conenction sharing on my desktop to do share access among my machines. Recently, it’s started to act up.. the powerbook loses association with the router and I have to toggle the wireless settings on the router to get it […]
