Notes:

I've been hacking around Linux for ages, mostly at the kibbitzing kernel code level. I did once write userfs, and keep coming back to non-storage filesystems; most recently, autofs.

Most of my time lately has been hacking Linux for embedded PPC systems. I should package that up RSN...

Well, I finally got around to playing with my Advogato settings and have a play around. It's all very cute.

Over the weekend I realized that I've just taken far too many photos to deal with in any sensible way, so I threw them all in a mySQL database and hacked together the beginnings of a photo management interface in php (and yes, I looked at what was already around, and none of it looked right). So I'll hack on that for a while and see if it looks promising as a new project.

Oh, what am I looking for in photo management?

  • Deal with many thousands of photos
  • The file which comes out of the camera is the negative: it should always be preserved totally unmodified
  • I found my camera (and most digital cameras these days) produce lots of metadata in EXIF format; I want to make use of it.
  • Remember which way is up. Why don't photo management systems remember the aspect ratio without munging the image?
  • More generally, I want to store the original image + a series of transformations, rather than just storing a hacked up bitmap. It would be doubly nice if I can convince Gimp to remember things that way too.
  • Sure, remember descriptions, titles, keywords, etc, but also remember links between photos. With enough links, it's a much better way of browsing than simply stepping through one by one.
I hacked up a simple browse-by-date page as a PHP learning exercise, and it turned into a visual diary. An interesting result.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
