You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
After reading on a nice, Brazillian island, my apetite for going out travelling is growing again. Although I'd still prefer backpackers' accommodation. $100 a night that was suggested for this island is a bit stiff in my opinion. Hmm... where to next? 
Dave Coffin has made dcraw work for OS X by a couple of support mails. Grab the source code and compile with gcc -g draw.c -lm -DNO_JPEG -o dcraw or get the binaries from Francisco Montilla.
Jake at Photoblogs asks if we loose a way of telling a story by using single-shot photoblogs rather than multi-shot. So here's why I do single:
Is it just me, or is iPhoto getting seriously old. First off all, it doesn't support RAW yet, so the CR2 files from my Canon EOS 20D are easily getting seriously disorganized. Seconldy, speed... sorry Apple, I've seen iPhoto 4 with 7000 1 mb pictures with the odd 40mb picture in it, it's just not up to par on your iMac 1Ghz/1GB which should be more than good enough to handle this. How hard is it to cache those thumbnails? Waiting minutes every time you move the scrollbar just doesn't work. So I've stuck with iPhoto 2 which is equally slow. Features of iPhoto 4 I'd like of course, and I'm so looking forward to hearing news of what Apple has in plan for the next revision (will that be iPhoto 6, 8 or 16, btw? 
) as iPhoto 2 doesn't work well for more than a gb of photos at a time or so.
