Visited the Tardis
server room
this afternoon. I was hoping to be able to finally get an
account today, but, though I got Kev to sign the 'Sponsor'
bit on the form, the person I have to hand in the form to
wasn't there, so I guess I'll have to try again another day.
I wondered again about uploading the current (icky) version
of PhotoGroup somewhere, but decided I still might have time
this weekend to tidy up a couple of bugs first. Like the way
it crashes if it fails to load a picture....
PhotoGroup's a GNOME program for organising photographs
(or presumably other image files) - the idea is to make
index files which contain lists of images, which can have
captions associated with them, and which can be rotated
around (e.g. landscape -> portrait format) without having to
change the images on disk. You can drag images in from your
favourite file manager (or
use PhotoGroup itself to view a directory rather than a list
file), and drag images around to sort them,
or drag them out into an image viewer or whatever. There's
also a built-in
slideshow program for now at least, which is the thing for
which I
bothered getting TV-out working on my laptop the other day.
It's certainly useful to me, to
replace a program I wrote for myself years ago on RISC OS,
since I couldn't find anything else for Linux that did what
I wanted. I've used it to produce the more recent sets of
images at
