Git diffs with Meld

Nathan Hoad's How to: Meld for Git diffs almost worked for me. Two minor things got in the way.  First you have to have a change in the selected file or git diff does noting.  There is no error message, just nothing happens. It took me a minute to figure out. Sure seems obvious, but  I tripped over it.  Second, you have to set the execute permission on the python file. The error message made this obvious, still worth noting.

And the work begins

Dancing the Night Away
One of the over 1700 photos I have to go through from the wedding. People think digital photography is instant, and it can be. Most of the time it involves selecting then developing a photo out of dozens of possibilities. As work through the photos I'll be posting a number of them to Laurier and Andrea's Wedding set on flickr. I'll give Laurier and Andrea a DVD with a wider selection of photos.

Wish I could say I planned the above shot, but it was a happy accident :)

Burst Mode is Your Friend

Library Jump Shot
As I was walking around Parliament Hill this afternoon there was one woman trying to take a jump shot of her friend. After a few attempts, I asked her if she had gotten the shot. She said no. I explained about burst mode that shoots multiple shots in rapid succession. The only way to time a jump shot is not to time it. Alas we couldn't find a burst mode on her point n shoot. So I offered to take the shot and would give them my card so they could email me. They we quite excited by this offer. So I did the above shot and one with more of the Library.
