Adobe Lightroom Plugin – Part I

Posted by | Posted in Photography | Posted on 09-04-2012

I love Adobe Lightroom.

I love WordPress.

I hate mindless-zombie data entry.

Hence, I am embarking on a mission to link WordPress to Lightroom. Or is that Lightroom to WordPress?

Irregardless.

I came across this, which is interesting enough. Two problems.

1) It’s not free (as in speech).

2) It’s not free (as in beer).

Hence the embarkationism.

I’m taking a look at Adobe’s Lightroom SDK. Functionality is coded in Lua, and there’s a bazillion Adobe-written tutorials on how to achieve said functionality.

What could possibly go wrong?

Stay tuned…

New Site Theme

Posted by | Posted in News | Posted on 06-04-2012

I’m trying out a new site theme, entitled “Ultra Wood”. It’s nice, I plan on editing it further, but the layout is (almost) exactly what I’ve been looking for. Hopefully the theme code isn’t too fugly.

UPDATE: So the new theme didn’t really work out as planned; Photoshop skills do not equate to web design skills. I’ve since removed the top-heavy UW theme and replaced it with a similarly laid-out plan which is far cleaner, and far lighter to download per-page.

Recording Fun

Posted by | Posted in Music, Recording | Posted on 18-06-2011

I have no idea why I recorded this… it’s dated March 23rd of this year. I am unsure what I was thinking at the time, but there’s a “lead guitar” track in the mixer, so I must have been planning to do something face meltingly awesome. (I never did; that track is empty.)

The drums suck, but the groove and harmonies are double plus good. Listen and enjoy.
