Notes from 5th Jul 2005
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

Again few days past and I haven't really time to write here much. I need to fix this. There is a lot of going on and I just do not write note of it. For most of you I guess it will be not much of interest.

I have connect my Minolta DImage 5400 scanner to my notebook and surprise surprise, is about 3x faster now and no timeouts or stopping. Works great. I believe I leave it like this, but it seems that more and more functionality I am moving out of my desktop, now 2x933MHz Pentium III. Few years ago I though that having double processor CPU machine will be very powerful and exciting to use, but as years go I see only reliability problems. Software is not ready for these 2 CPU machines. Maybe Linux as server will work more reliably on it, but Win2k or WinXP client software has a lot of problems with different hardware and that makes all machine quite a unreliable.
I am using it now only for managing my photographs, editing and printing them.

So as my scanner is working so nice now I scanned all Fuji Across again and will compare and print now. I let all adjustment done by vuescan so it is fully automatic for the best balance. I see already that differences are interesting.

I have also solved the problem with generating incorrect RSS feed, where modification date was taken into account instead of creation time. I may soon have another addition and that is title for each journal note, but let's wait a second for that :-)
