Glad someone appreciates my work

The new online directory is a work of art. The person or persons responsible for designing such an intuitive and useful website deserves our appreciation. The feature I liked the best was the pictures of the people I search for, since I am very bad at connecting names with people. Thanks for the good work.

My new outfit and pre fire

The fire was gigantic. We left our phones at the camp. I kind wish I brought it but I had fun dancing without it.

The flames shot so high into the sky.

teens carjack woman on Delaware

Watching TV in the waiting room, it seems unbelieveable but 3 teens carjacked a woman at Delaware and Nottingham terrace. Apparently they have been arrested and are also accused of attacking a rollerblader at Delaware park. This is why I run whenever I am alone. On the other hand if someone tries to carjack me I'd probably run them over.

Wish me luck, although if I had to die, anesthetic is the way to go.

Android Mobile App 1.05

The mobile app now allows you to take a picture with the camera directly. Previously you could select the select pics button and go to the camera from the gallery but that seemed to only work on froyo. I tested it on my nexus one and it works. Hopefully, it will work on the moto phones too, although, there are a lot of bug reports about their camera functionality - so who knows. Next step maybe, record audio directly to your blog.

On a related front, it now should handle the rotation issue with moto images. What was happening was this. In order to send the pics to estrip from the mobile app, I first resize them on the phone as it would take forever to send 5-8MP images. The problem is that my nexus one truly rotates images when rotated, while the moto droid line seems to just set the EXIF_ORIENTATION bit to the rotation desired. I get why they do this, the problem is that the android resize functions strips out the EXIF data. So I was stuck with the problem of having no EXIF data to work with when it got to the server. Mind you I still think the whole store in EXIF data is a little sketchy as not all software supports it. Just try and look at one of those images in firefox for example, they are incorrectly rotated.

So to solve it I read the EXIF data before the resize and send the orientation information along with the packet to the server. I tested with some images from a droid and it worked good. Hopefully it will work for (e:heidi)'s droid X. (e:chris) told me facebook had the same issue. Really it seams to be a bug in androids bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream); method.

You can get the update from the android marketplace.

The fedora 14 wallpaper contest winning concept

I am going to start out and admit I am a total jerk for complaining now and at the same time not not realizing that this was going on before and participating by either designing or voting.

I especially hate that I did not vote because the wining design is such crap and it only won with 9 votes. Not like ahead by 9 votes but won with 9 votes. Seriously, like almost no one voted. The fact that it was made with blender, a open source 3d program should be a plus for an open OS, but I think the fact that it is so freakin basic, intro to 3D 101, that it will not only look bad for fedora, but bad for blender as well.

With only 9 votes, anyone and their 10 friends could have won.

Here is the link to the fedora wiki page about it with some of the other designs.

They are calling for designers to help turn it into the final wallpaper for the distribution but I think it is hopeless. I tried playing around with it and I can't find a way to work it in and not have it look like crap. Hopefully, some more brilliant designer can. Then again only a handful submitted and almost no one voted in the first place, ugh. I wish they could just have a revote.

This was the final design for the default for Fedora 13. Its hard to tell at this size but there were lots of stars.

I guess to be honest Linux is all about doing your own thing, so I am sure most people will switch wallpapers. Here is to hoping that someone can take that concept and make something salvageable out of it.

I like the fedora 13 one enough that I even use it on my nexus one.
