Here’s a preview of Mach II, a framework for PHP, “using standard OO techniques”. To look at later..

Copyright Application Tutorial
Must read this copyright application tutorial
You already own it. In most cases, unless you specifically signed away your rights, you – the photographer – own the copyright and the right to license and re-license the image in any way you choose. This is true even if you have not registered your copyright or put your copyright notice on the image. Where registration makes a real difference is when something has gone wrong and your rights are being infringed.
Interesting. You can register your photo with ASMP to help protect your copyright. I haven’t had any problem with copyright yet, and hopefully won’t in the future either!
And did you think you could publish and profit from your City photos?
In addition to property-release issues, you also need to think about copyright concerns vis-a-vis buildings if they were built after December 1, 1990. Before that, buildings did not have copyright protection and were thus, by definition, in the public domain. Shoot away.
I presume that applies in the US, is the law the same in the EU?

Best Photos of 2004
Via del.icio.us – Best Photos of 2004, I’m gobsmacked and almost speechless (Here’s me being speechless.)

I love most of the images on this page!
I wonder if I could pick out my own “best of year” photo collection and post them here. Some of the pic of the day photos would make it, as well as a few that are still lying dormant on my PC at home.
Two From OK/Cancel: Search and the Desktop
Search is Not All There – meta data, meta data, meta data. It’s too much for one person, but for a community? That depends on an altruistic community willing to enter meta data about a file.
What’s Hiding Behind Search-Based Navigation? – searching the web isn’t the same as a desktop search. On your desktop, you expect it to return the right answer first time, every time. On the web, well, read the article. It’s an interesting analysis of both.
SQLite – The Swiss army knife of data storage.
Here’s a lengthy article on SQLite! That’s something I really need to look at!
Bah.. link is dead. Grrr.
Noah's Camera Phone Gallery – From Chicago
I took a quick look through the gallery here and recognised a few locations. 🙂
He uses the Flash “SimpleViewer” as a gallery front end which looks nice, but takes ages to load. 🙁
Watery Light Show
Amazing how light works sometimes.
Stupid Client Quotes
There’s no getting around it. At some point in your career, your patience will be tested with a stupid client who is so clueless that you’ll question your sanity, career choice, and the future of mankind.
And Tonight..
I’m looking forward to seeing the first episode of Battlestar Galactica! It’s on Sky 1 at 8pm! Don’t miss it!
Update… Wow, I didn’t realise we were seeing the first episode before anyone else! Like Mark I found it to be a mixed bag. The mini series was certainly better but I still enjoyed it. I didn’t find it quite as gripping as the mini series however.
Of course the director can kill off a few characters! It happened in the original series when …. hehe. I won’t spoil it for my younger (< 23yro) readers!
Beautiful Ireland!
So much for the race against waste! It looks like more people are cottoning on to Bring Centres where you can recycle paper, cardboard, plastic and glass (but for 10 points, who knows where it goes once you dump it? And no, it’s not dublinwaste.ie!)
Pity they can’t even dump their rubbish properly. Where’s that survey says that Ireland is way down the list of clean countries? Go Irish People! Woo! We’re slobs!
