"Disc" vs "Disk"

Roger@RogerCarlsonPhotography.com — 2007-12-30T10:28:45-08:00

I've always wondered. Now I'm happy. What's the difference between a "disc" and a "disk"?

iPhone works with camera removed

Roger@RogerCarlsonPhotography.com — 2007-07-16T12:37:01-04:00

I did end up ordering the ipod tools from iFixit.com and they did the job well, but the sharp edges of the case completely ate them by the time the job was done. ...By then I had the case levered open so much that the other long side was locked on tight and I had to bend it to get an edge of it open enough. ...so bottom line, I'd recommend metal tools to the hacker that doesn't mind damage, but recommend several sets of the ipod tools as disposable items to the perfectionist that wants the job done perfectly... but maybe a metal tool as well in case frustration sets in.

More Gallery updates, 2007 up to date

Roger@RogerCarlsonPhotography.com — 2007-07-05T15:18:59-07:00

I've got all the taxonomy keywords set up for any significant subject, and I really like the way it works. It should be a lot of fun once I get more posted, but it means re-doing a lot of old work. Not that it was going that quickly, anyway, but I do like the results.

Hey, I got two short trip reports written and got the photos up! I really like the way gallery 2.2 makes dynamic keyword albums, my workflow is finally worth the trouble. I've added complete taxonomy for many major subjects, it should be interesting to see how that turns out when the library gets bigger.
