I've just installed the latest beta of Firefox because my friend daniel said it rocked on the mac and that he was thinking about not using Safari anymore.
The firts launch is amazingly fast, the windows just pop up, that is very impressive. I like that a lot. It also seems that Firefox is way more responsive on my G5 iMac than the previous 2.0 series. I like the new cocoa dropdown list and the look and feel - looks a lot like Camino :-). I tend to access a few sites with certificates+ssl authentification, and one of the server I go to daily as an expired cert. In 2.0 a alert would pop up and I would just hit enter to access the site. In 3.0b it'a a complete different story, the page does not load and Firefox quives you kind of a 404 page on which you can decide to make an execption or not. I think those "security" changes are very good because they really force the user to acknowledge that there is a security issue.
Things I don't like is firts the fact that non of the extensions I use daily (spell checking ), del.icio.us and a few others are not compatible with the Beta releases. Making the whole experience of testing the beta release a less enjoyable experience. I don't like the new url bar history - it's too big makes it difficult for me to use the down arrow to select the site i want to use. And the biggest bad point is I was unable to access the new Yahoo! mail, I either need to use another browser to access it or to return to the old interface of yahoo mail.

Dieu ? La Préhistoire de la raison.
Glazou.
The Library of congress uploaded around around 3k photos on flickr. The idea behind that is to help the library catalogue it's picture. The deal seems quite simple and not that time consuming , it's about adding tag to the pictures. I like the idea which is described in details here. So I've spend some times adding a few tags to the pictures present in the photostream.
Certains sourires sont enchanteurs, enchantent et enivre. Merci de m'en donner autant.
Que je n'avais pas fait un tour chez le dentiste. Ce soir lors d'un pot j'ai cassé ma couronne. Demain première chose je prend rendez-vous chez le dentiste.
I'll be attending fosdem this year. I'll try not to stay in the mozilla room for the complete week-end.
I like to tag my picture when I post them on flickr and I particularly love to geotag them - I think it's nice to be able to locate an area seen on a picture so you can visit it yourself at some point.
My workflow is pretty straight for now as I shoot in RAW, and import the raw files into Lightroom to develop them. I then upload them on flickr and use either the provided map, or tools like maps.yuan.cc (which permits using google maps instead of the one provided by yahoo.). This has three flaws , the first one is that I only geotag pictures that I upload on flickr, the information is only kept on flickr , so the day they die or the day I decide to move away from them my information is lost (well no - i can doanload a kml file and use it with google earth, but it would be a pain to regain that information).
What I would like is to geotag all my pictures, so either I find a GPS that directly plug-ins the camera and tags the pictures when I shoot (and I don't know of any solution to achieve this), the other one is to carry a GPS with me and then based on time stamps tag the RAW files by altering the EXIF data. The data matching seems to be easy to do.
My solve issue is finding the appropriate GPS hardware that will let me tracks my move. I am completely clueless on what my needs are - what I tend to do is go out for the day (maximum 10 hours) and shoot. Anyone willing to give me a recommendation on what piece of hardware I should buy ?
Seems completely broken. I can't browse my phone from my machine. I was able once after a reboot. I believe the issue is when the MacBookPro goes to sleep something is not done correctly os-wise and when the machine is awaken blued or the bluetooth chip is in a strange state. I've tried cleaning up prefs on both side pairing again and again and the only time I've succeeded pairing was after a complete reboot. I know it's not the phone because I can sync, browse the phone from both my machines at work - they both run panther though.
