Bergfrid and Pedro’s Blogs

Having found myself with some extra time to spend on developing useless, but fun projects at home, I came across this little plugin for FireFox named PicLens. It is truly the most amazing way to display images on the web that I’ve seen so far, so I instantly implemented a WebService to speak with my FotoWeb server and return Media RSS. I wonder why I have not done this before..

Anyway, I did not want to expose any of my internal FotoWeb details, such as credentials, archives, etc to the outside world, so I wrote a web application that communicates with my webservice, and “finalized” the RSS stream there. In a matter of little over 2 hours, I now have a zero-to-hero  solution where the feed for my brand new PicLens gallery is supplied by a web application that in turn gets it’s juice from a web service that speaks with my FotoWeb.

My virtual chest just grew 3 new thick hairs!

Starting out with a new will for photography, now that May month is here and is almost done filling me up with much needed vitamine D, I have began to look at photography again, currently looking at how the use of flash in various ways can improve the way I shoot.

It should follow, naturally, that I have purchased yet another studio light (500w this time) as well as a cheap, chinese remote trigger that actually works! Viva Kaffebrus in Sweden for making amateur studio photography possible!
New Job!
After much talking about what to do and what not to do, I decided to end my work at FotoWare and instead go back into consulting, where I feel that I belong. This means that from August, I will be working as an employee of Mesan as a consultant specializing on the Microsoft platform. I do believe it will be a good swap, but time will tell, I remain sceptical.

What do you do when your first day of the holiday is here, but your car is still at the workshop, preventing you from taking off to a place where you can relax and charge your batteries?

First, you get really annoyed, of course. You call the workshop, and tell them what they don’t want to hear. Then, you retreat home, and grab a good movie, such as The Brave One, starring my all time favorite actress, Jodie Foster. The morale of the movie is bad, but hey, it’s Jodie!

The very next day, you change the look of your web page and update its statistics engine, of course, leaving you happy again, and life again, smiles!
