Pictomio….Image Viewer with class
I don’t do this often, but this program actually proves that with a little bit of extra UI work, windows programs can look as good (if not better) than their OSX counter parts.

1stopoflight.com is here….
Well I finally broke down and did it. My new Photography site can be found hosted on tumblr at 1stopoflight.com. I’m using a modified museum theme by Paul Giacherio.The nice thing about having the site on tumblr is that I can host the physical photos on yahoo’s flickr.com and just link them into 1stopoflight.com‘s pages.…

Transcode and stream DV to mpeg4 via firewire using VLC and Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
Well kids are you ready for todays lesson in transcoding DV video. So first you need a decent machine. I’m using a P4 2.4Ghz oldie that has Firewire on-board and am chewing up 50% CPU for NTSC encoding. Then you need to get Ubuntu 8.04 installed. Once that’s done use the following command to install…
