Branding XMP Sidecar Files with J

During my long and not-so-storied IT career I covertly dispatched “irritants” with the J programming language. An irritant is an annoying software problem that does not merit a full-blown project-style approach. The last thing you want when dealing with irritants is to drag in IT bureaucrats. You know of whom I speak: the niggling little … Continue reading Branding XMP Sidecar Files with J →

Setting SmugMug Print Size Keywords with Jupyter and Python

For the last few weeks, my normal hobbies have been preempted by my obsessive refactoring of an old SmugMug keyword setting program. Many years ago I wrote a small application that helped me maintain meaningful SmugMug keywords. I used this application for years until inevitable software changes broke it. Replacing it with something better has … Continue reading Setting SmugMug Print Size Keywords with Jupyter and Python →

Downloading SmugMug Captions with Python and Jupyter

This blog post started out as an experimental rendering of a Jupyter notebook. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to convert a notebook to a WordPress.com blog post. Even though Jupyter exports notebooks in HTML and Markdown they do not display well "out of the box." No doubt one could craft CSS … Continue reading Downloading SmugMug Captions with Python and Jupyter →

The Instagram Metadata Massacre

Instagram Fingers I've been playing around with the iPhone app Instagram.  I decided to give this freebie a try after a gaggle of soulless self promoting Apple marketing zombies declared it "imaging app of the year."  Instagram, like Hipstamatic,  (which incidentally stopped working after the last update), crops iPhone images to squares, applies hokey filters and then offers … Continue reading The Instagram Metadata Massacre →

More on that SmugShot Metadata Mess

A few days after posting a J script that fixes EXIF timestamps in SmugShot images SmugMug changed the filename assigned to downloaded SmugShot images. Originally the layout was: SmugMugID_smugshot_SmugShotID.jpg This layout was inconsistent with the way SmugMug normally handles files. Default SmugMug behavior is to leave filenames unchanged.  This contrasts with other photo sites, (you … Continue reading More on that SmugShot Metadata Mess →

SmugShot Metadata Mess

SmugShot iPhone App Logo While languishing in a series of hospitals and rehab centers recovering from a bad fall I have been amusing myself by taking iPhone pictures and posting them to SmugMug with SmugShot. SmugShot is a nifty little iPhone app that uploads iPhone pictures and videos directly to your SmugMug galleries. SmugShot is … Continue reading SmugShot Metadata Mess →

Google Earth Image Touring

In a scientific poll of one, (I sampled myself),  Google Earth was voted the greatest free program on Earth. The brilliant developers at Google have managed to turn the most unlikely subject, geography,  into a video game.  And what a game it is!  Google Earth doesn’t troll around in an adolescent make believe world.  Google … Continue reading Google Earth Image Touring →
