Saturday afternoon

IMG_9805

On Saturday Marcy and I went downtown to meet up with Kristin, Andrew and Lonnie. We had a great (albeit short) time together. We went to Maggie’s Cafe and Catering for a sumptuous brunch. Then we took the streetcar down to the Eaton Centre. It was really nice spending time with them; we haven’t seen Andrew and Kristin since last July on our way out east and we haven’t seen Lonnie since late May of last year I think. It’s been that long. We’re going to have to try and see him more often because living in the same city there’s really no excuse except being busy. We’ll be seeing Andrew and Kristin again this weekend at Amanda’s birthday party. Maybe sometime in March or April we’ll make our way to Montreal again. It’s been too long.

The picture above was taken while we were waiting at Union Station. I took a few more and created a Flickr set.

30 boxes

Yesterday I was able to sign up to be a beta tester for 30 boxes which is a new online calendaring site. I first read about it on Matt’s site and since then the buzz leading up to the public beta this past weekend has been deafening. Just look here and you’ll know what I mean. I tried it last night at home and found that it didn’t work quite as well with my installation of Firefox and I actually had to use IE to be able to enter new calendar items. Fortunately though when I got to work this morning I was able to use Firefox with the site without any difficulties. You can see my profile page here. I’m going to try and put the HTML/Javascript badge on the sidebar here to see how it looks. They have a lot of neat features planned like custom feeds based on tags/dates/whatever as well as an API for developers to leverage. They added iCal/ICS support over the weekend so that people can download their 30 boxes calendar into their desktop calendar applications (Outlook, Mozilla Calendar, whatever). Interoperability is key.

It’ll be interesting to see if this site becomes what Flickr has become for photos. There is a lot of competition for online calendars already.

2002 in pictures

I’ve been uploading all of my first sets of digital pictures to my Flickr account. Things like Whirly Ball, my trip to Las Vegas, where I lived and where I worked are all detailed in these photos. These were all taken with my first camera, a Canon PowerShot A40 that we still have today though I’ve moved to using my Canon G5. That camera took me to a lot of new places and helped me experience a lot of new things. It’s hard to believe that 3 years ago I was there. I think I’ve matured and become a better person since then. I’ve also become a better photographer.

Flickr Speedy

I’m getting some pretty amazing speed uploading some old photos to my Flickr account. Maybe it only seems faster since they’re with my older camera and thus the file sizes are much smaller.

Flickr

I think I’m going to start uploading more photors to my Flickr account. I’ve set up Gallery on this new site but I’m thinking that I might as well use my Flickr Pro account since I’m allowed to upload quite a bit to that site and my disk space on this server is more limited. So watch that site for new pictures!
