gphoto2 + F-Spot = win
Whilst I’m waiting for my MacBook to work its way from Shanghai to my house, depending of course on when Iceland stops its geological sneeze or the European aviation authorities decide that the danger has passed, I decided to see if I could find the best solution for tethered shooting under Linux.

A thank you
Jono William Aloycius O’Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager and general all-round grand bloke today announced the Ubuntu rebranding. I’ve known about this for a while, because the Canonical brand is being refreshed too and we as a company were shown the new designs and asked for comments a few weeks back. However, this is a chance [...]Archive

Crivvens! (A non-review of the Dell Mini 10v)
People who have been paying attention to my Identica feed of late will know that, in a fit of I-want-one-of-those, I bought a refurbished Dell Mini 10v.

What I did on my Holidays
I’ve been back from Barcelona for about a week now, but between getting used to the routine of working every day and overcoming some tropical disease or other that I picked up whilst I was over there (I keep telling people it was the Coughing Pig Death and there’s a moment where they actually believe [...]Archive
