2008/12/15 New Geotagging
π 2008-12-15 01:01 in Public
I've spent the last few days adding geotagging to my pictures after fixing/improving my pictprocess script and updated the geotagging with GPX Visualizer and gpsPhoto page.
I've also updated all my older blog entries in the hiking section to have pictures you can click on and see where they were taken, especially the John Muir Trail from Bishop to Whitney and other outdoors pictures like from San Francisco to Saulsalito or the Fremont Older and wine trail biking loop we often do
2008/12/03 Duplicate Posts On Google Reader
π 2008-12-03 01:01 in Public
For those who of you who are seeing duplicate posts in google reader or other atom/rss reader, sorry: when I rename posts in rig3, the old post disappears and a new one is created, as expected, but some blog readers don't seem to remove posts that are gone.
It's kind of annoying and I haven't found a fix for that yet, my main blog does not have this problem, and proper readers shouldn't.
2008/12/03 Onkyo TX-SR705 Receiver
π 2008-12-03 01:01 in Public
Interesting story: I bought a new receiver to replace my old Yamaha that just died, and used the new Audyssey auto speaker setup, the receiver kept telling me I had an error with my front left speaker. Yet, sound was coming out of it just fine, and an ohmeter confirmed it had an resistance of 4 ohms.

After some debugging, I opened the said speaker, and found that the magnet attached to the tweeter (by nothing else than magnetism), had detached itself from the tweeter and grafted itself onto the magnet of the lower speaker, messing with the sound somewhat.
I just put the magnet back where it belonged, and the sound setup completed.

I'm just impressed that Audyssey was able to detect the subtle sound difference due to that magnet in the wrong place, and that it reported it back to me :)

2008/12/01 What Overachievement Means at Fedex
π 2008-12-01 01:01 in Public
I ordered a new receiver, which isn't technically meant to arrive until tomorrow as per the delivery SLA. However, as a nice surprise, it was actually here 3 days ago already (friday) and was on the truck for delivery, but "No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day".
I can already see the driver with his package on the truck saying "umph, this one looks heavy. It's early anyway so I'll probably worry about delivering it next week"

Not the end of the world, although I'd have been happy to play with the receiver last weekend.
