Ice, Ice Baby

7:22am ART Sunday 19 February 2006

According to the announcements, we are rolling into some fiords today as scheduled. There will be corn cream soup in addition to the normal breakfast fare up in Yacht Club this morning.

Today

9:38pm ART Sunday 19 February 2006

Today has been pretty chill, both temperaturally and schedually. We have been sailing through fiords all day, and people have braved the cold to take pics and scope rainbows and waterfalls of glacier melt.

We received our 007 assignments; we are playing two concurrent games of assassin: one with just GET Teachers, and one open to the entire ship. For the GET Teacher game, I am supposed to kill Isabel in the spa with a daily schedule. I assume by "spa," it means "hot tub." Even so, I've never seen her in the spa, it's far too cold for *anyone* to be in the spa, AND the spa is closed.

Maruan thinks it's good enough if she is just touching the steps. I don't expect to be able to kill her, esp. considering I almost never talk to her.

My other one will be easier: Matt in Windjammer with a daily schedule.

Are they both daily schedules? Hmm. Maybe I'm supposed to kill Isabel with a spoon.

Saki stood me up today at 2pm. I've seen her in passing since then, but she didn't say anything. I haven't seen her closely enough to be sure she's seen me or to call her on it. Dudn't really matter, though; off the list is off the list.

Carla asked if I can get pics off her camera today, so we scheduled a time, she came over and ended up falling asleep on Carl's bed in like 2 minutes, so I just continued working on my iPhoto updater code until time for GET Meeting, which ended up being cancelled.

We did the camera thing then, but my computer was being stupid and was taking FAR too long to get its shit straight and just grab the pics. Like "this sucks" slow. Ripped the USB out and did it on Maruan's computer in about 4 minutes.

But the good thing is I finished my iPhoto cleanup code.

iPhoto for humans

9:50pm ART Sunday 19 February 2006

This code is designed to "fix" the .html files created by iPhoto version 4.

(It's only been tested with version 4.0.3)

I don't like that the image filenames are all numeric and not really legible by humans: 0.jpg, 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.

Basically, it renames the image files to match the titles of the files. It only works if all the titles are unique.

Added nicety 1: it renames the main page to index.html so the webserver can't be tricked into giving a directory listing.

Added nicety 2: it renames all the index files from .html to .shtml and writes a line for .shtml processing purposes. Not many people are likely to want this step. (If you don't want it, take it out.)

I'll call this version 0.1. It's messy, but it works.

zzzz yoyo

2:03am ART Monday 20 February 2006

Tonight is the night Maruan, Dan and I played Texas Hold'em poker (Dan and I had never played before.) Picasso joined us; he also had never played. Maruan won, then Picasso won. We were using chips as money, and all were the same value.

Afterward, I tried to kill Matt in Windjammer, but he wouldn't go in. Then I sat with Erika for a bit, and then helped a girl named Akane with a diablo (yoyo thing) that Kim CH is so good at. I spent over an hour, and it was frustrating at first, but she really did well by the end. She was correcting mistakes on her own, and I was pretty damn happy.

I'm falling asleep here.
