Eventually.
Meanwhile,

There’s a link to the left marked “singapore.” Don’t bother with it yet. I’m working on Yet Another Photo Gallery Setup, and when it’s done, I’ll let you know.

I have trouble arguing with these comments on Hu Jintao’s visit. She fails to mention that we’re being fleeced on giant panda loan fees, but she makes excellent points about the currency trade and civil rights in the PRC.

Though I cannot help but snark, “Why should the Chinese be afforded these rights and not the Iraqis?”

Meet Halley. She’s the bird that my team, WhiteStar Aircraft Design, LLC, has spent the past semester designing. Proposal is due Wednesday, so I thought I’d go ahead and do some unveiling.

I got my Wacom Graphire3 4×5 pen tablet in the mail yesterday. While I admit the artistic quality of my work above is perhaps lacking, it’s better than I could do with a mouse.

P.S.: Did I ever point out this bit of Photoshoppery I did a while back? Think I forgot to post about it.

More Georgia Aquarium pictures taken this past Saturday.

UPDATE: Certain pictures now feature even better color correction!  Photoshop LAB Color is proving to have been a very worthwhile investment.

Just took the GRE. Some notes:

1. Now THAT was humiliating!
2. The GRE POWERPREP software does not reliably predict scores. It overpredicted mine by about 100 points on each section.
3. Luckily my score doesn’t matter too much.
4. Why do I seem to do better than I should on verbal compared to quantitative on these standardized tests?

I get my official scores in about two weeks, including the as-yet unscored analytical writing section.

P.S.: Merry Christmas (late) and Happy New Year (early)!

I’m breaking the photo gallery again. Just accept it. Either it will work better for Firefox users when I’m done, or it will be no worse.

UPDATE: Aw, hell with it. Switched back.

So I’ve downloaded the first developer preview edition of Flock, a web browser that (it turns out) is based on Firefox.  It aims to integrate web services such as del.icio.us, Flickr, and blogging services such as WordPress into the browsing experience. For instance, I’m composing this post (primarily, to see if it works) in the integrated blog post composer.

It definitely needs work still. There is quite a bit I cannot do in it (i.e., categorize this post). But it hasn’t crashed yet, and I give it credit for that. It’s also based on the 1.0.x branch of Firefox, which I stopped using several weeks ago in favor of 1.5 Beta 1 and nightly builds thereafter; the new Firefox builds at least feel much faster due to the “fast back and forward” (bfcache) feature. And I don’t have gestures anymore, since extension compatibility with Flock is mostly nonexistent right now. First impressions are fairly good, though. I’m not a huge fan of the custom skin, but I’ll let it slide for the moment.

UPDATE: Faux pas #1: I want WordPress to format my posts, not Flock. The WordPress autoformatting is fine and lets me manually type in HTML if I want to. It’s also much smarter about avoiding <br /> tags and spruious non-breaking spaces. Post reformatted & categorized.

(Explicit Technorati tag: Flock)

Okay, I’ve finally got the photo gallery back up to its old, error-free standard. I’m also pleased to announce that photos from Europe and photos for the 2005 Petit Le Mans have now all been posted.

Since everything works now, I hope to be working my way through the Europe photos and giving them the appropriate titles and descriptions.
