Video: A Short Trip

by Jonathan 21 January 2011 Photography

I’ve been playing with some video stuff lately, working to learn more about Final Cut Pro and my shiny new Panasonic HMC40 video camera. As one might expect, I’m also ironing-out a new workflow for video work. While a lot of the steps are the same as they are for photo work, the video workflow [...]

Gear Review: X-Rite i1Display 2

by Jonathan 7 November 2010 Photography

(auto-posted entry–while you are reading this, I’m probably cleaning-up from pump operator training at the fire department) br/ br/About two months ago, I went to do a monitor calibration on my laptop. I never had a device to do this, so I always used the Apple built-in manual calibration utility. It usually works pretty well. [...]

Crossposter fixed–content should be coming back now!

by Jonathan 11 October 2010 Technology

OK, so I finally fixed the crossposter. If that line doesn’t make any sense, here’s a quick explanation: I have two blogs. One of them (this one–jennyandjonathangetmarried.com) is the repository for posts about family, home, etc. It’s also Jenny’s place to post her stories and the like. The other blog (blog.dryrose.com) is the repository for [...]

Thumbnail image for Blog-like update!

Ahh, Tintern Abbey, UK, Fall 2009.  Sadly, it seems that we won’t be making it back to the UK or Netherlands this year.  The next time we get to go will likely be entirely for pleasure.  That has some advantages, of course–I won’t be occupied with work-related activities for any of our time there, for [...]

Technology upgrade time!

by Jonathan 28 June 2010 Photography

The time has come for a few upgrades around the house.  First on the list (and accomplished today!) was an update for Jenny’s iPhone.  A long while ago, her iPhone 3G suffered a smashed screen.  It was still operable, and we weren’t eligible for an upgrade at the time, so she continued to use it.

Backup Strategies

by Jonathan 3 June 2010 Technology

I’ve done an awful lot of disaster recovery (DR) planning and implementation (and thankfully very little execution!) over the years.

mdworker FolderManager err=-36 messages in logs under OS X Snow Leopard

by Jonathan 24 May 2010 Technology

I get a little anal about checking logs on my systems. Over the years, I have found lots of nascent problems while doing simple log scans on all sorts of systems. Doing a periodic scan also helps me to determine what looks normal on a system. When I go to help someone else with an [...]
