New Pictures

[flwyd]

I've posted more pictures my gallery.

There are some new photos in the Misc. November Album plus new albums for Thanksgiving, graduation, Winter Solarbration (plus Jewish temple architecture and some spooky ghosts), and solstice sunrise with stephanova.

Incidentally, Apple's iPhoto has absolutely horrid cache management. I've got about 3.5 GB of pictures on my computer. I think iPhoto caches thumbnails for all of them plus lots of other stuff. When I download new pictures from my camera, iPhoto uses 900-1500 MB of virtual memory. The idea behind thumbnail caching is to speed up viewing. But when the thumbnail cache gets paged to disk, no significant speedup is achieved and it slows everything else down. I should burn all my pictures (on CD) after the new year.

Since iPhoto is so frickin' slow, some of the pictures didn't get rotated yet (even though I tried). I'll do that when I'm on a higher speed connection.

Gallery (the code that runs my photo albums) is linked to shutterfly such that users can print photos directly (though most of the ones up there aren't full resolution). I've got my own photo printer and there haven't been any pics I've been particularly anxious to analogize yet.

We make purple mashed potatoes by buying blue potatoes, boiling them, and mashing them. Quite simple and quite beautiful.
