Well, MT has gone to version 3.0 and changed their licencing terms and conditions as well as making the product more expensive. The backlash has already started but no doubt people will migrate away from MT, and when they do, Free Software like b2++ and WP will be waiting for them!

The Real Capital! (Sort of!)

Woo! Look at those wages!
So, where the hell can I go to be payed as much as the people surveyed in this report? What do I have to do? Sell my soul? (aka – use Windows ;))
Nick Berg
Here’s a harrowing and horrible description of the video of Nick Berg’s murder. I think once you’ve read it you won’t want to watch the movie. I certainly don’t. (via John)
Later… blogrunner has lots more to say.. (via referer links)
Later Still… Wikipedia Page about the man.
The Missing Digital Photography Hacks [May. 11, 2004]
Here’s a couple of interesting digital camera hacks. The first one, an explanation of how the camera histogram works, is something I kept meaning to learn about for a while now!
What you want to be leery of is when the graph information bunches up on one side or another. A graph heavy to the left usually indicates underexposure with the image appearing dark (move exposure compensation to +1). If everything is scooted over to the right, that often indicates overexposure with blown highlights and washed out shadows and midtones (move exposure compensation to -1).
Later… There’s another 10 hacks on the book sample page!
Classes of Digital Cameras – Digital SLR Vs Point-and-Shoot
Mark Goldstein described this article as informative and opionated
and it certainly fits both those categories! Take it with a pinch of salt.
I can’t wait until The STF stumbles across it!
Umbrellas
I just love the silhouette used as the main photograph in this essay shot in Spain. Shooting in the rain isn’t something I normally do. I don’t want my camera getting wet!
Maybe if I had someone to hold my umbrella.. any takers? 🙂
Interlaced images in GIMP
Walter’s been busy messing with the GIMP and scheme! His script is a handy way to interlace an image. Must have a look later!

Sorting Your Images
Via the GIMP User Mailing List.. I’d give K Image Database a go but I’m too lazy to go beyond naming directory names! *shrug* Looks nice though!
