We really wanted this tree in the photo. The problems: 1) illuminating the tree enough, 2) not over exposing Clinton, 3) hand holding the flash and trigger. Cranked the power up to full power. Wes aimed it at the tree. Clinton is essentially just getting the leftover light.

I imported all my LiveJournal posts here. Other than posting pictures to there from Flickr, I don’t really use LJ anymore. I rarely even read my friends’ blogs there. Too bad. I still have the teeshirt.
Most of my LJ posts are protected. For this site, I’d rather have them set to private. So the section of Wordpress (Tools > Import > LiveJournal) saying this seemed relevant:
If you have any entries on LiveJournal which are marked as private, they will be password-protected when they are imported so that only people who know the password can see them.
If you don’t enter a password, ALL ENTRIES from your LiveJournal will be imported as public posts in WordPress.
Password protected seemed better than not, so I set a 30 character long password, and the form accepted all 30. When the password didn’t work, I logged in as the administrator user and looked at Publish > Visibility >
In my opinion, web forms in general should prevent the user from entering more characters than the application or database will take. Passwords are very exact, so forms for creating them definitely should not allow extraneous characters.
Didn’t realize it was still on when I put it in my pocket for 2 hours.

Followed Andy Fore’s instructions on adding WP 2.9 to the whitelist.
The only problem I have so far discovered is Tag the Net doesn’t appear to work. The error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class services_json in /home/path/wplog/wp-includes/class-json.php on line 115
Looks like Wordpress distributed a new class-json.php. Back in Simple Tags 1.6.5, this specific error was supposedly fixed. My guess is something about Wordpress 2.9 re-broke it.
This was posted a while ago to Flickr, but I was reminded it has been a while since I posted anything here…

Sunpak MZ440AF-CA on a light stand with a hot shoe connected to a PocketWizard II fired into a 60 inch umbrella with the reflector cover on it. Triggered by another PocketWizard II on my camera. Need to look at turning down the power or firing through the umbrella.
At the request of my boss, I added this disclaimer. Positive things I say here about Blackboard are okay. Negative things require distancing my employer from me so the defamation lawsuit comes to me not them.
This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer.
