Andrew's blog

Okay, I've finally uploaded some photos of Brooke. I've decided to try out PicasaWeb, so the photos are here.

Debbie (Susanne's sister) also has a gallery with some photos of Brooke available.

Annoyances with F-Spot exporting to PicasaWeb are that it doesn't upload the tags or the comments. Oh, also it doesn't synchronise, it re-exports all the photos each time.

Update 1: Actually it does upload the comments, but I didn't notice because the export exports a new copy. So I had to copies of each photo. One with comments, one without.
Update 2: And, look, only 6 weeks after Brooke was born, not a year!
Update 3: Fix the first link to PicasaWeb.

The guys at SixXS have added a new tool to their treasure trove of IPv6 tools. A BitTorrent tracker available only via IPv6.

Go and check out the catalog for some installation CDs and whatever else they throw up there.

On the topic of birth announcements, at Catalyst we have an internal IRC channel for general chit-chat and communication within teams. We now have a habit of setting the topic of the main channel to announce new staff members. On the 14th of April the topic was set to:

New staff: François, on L7, New person: Brooke Rose Ruthven, 9:10am, 14/4/2007, 6lb8oz (congratulations Andrew & Susanne)

Thank you karora for setting the topic!

At some stage Brooke might move into the "New staff" classification, who knows?
