Totally psyched. We’ve finally finished porting the rest of CNHB’s photos over to the hevelonian reboot and in the process have been exploring the enhanced options of our tagging system. Why does this matter? As of right now we’re rocking 1226 posts & 662 different tags, meaning if you’re interested in becoming the world’s foremost expert in a topic we specialize in (say, the Boston Marathon), you’d have to deal with an obscenely large number of posts on that topic, sorted by recency. So it can be helpful to use more complicated tagging calls to drill down to what you’re specifically interested in.

To get photos from one person, we’re use categories. Here are my mother’s, father’s, etc.

We can look at tags just within a person’s shots. For instance, CNHB’s shots of maija.

We can require two tags to present. For example, both SMHB and Maija.

How about two tags (like above) but from a specific person? Say, CNHB’s shots of SMHB in the rain?

Point being, this can quickly get pretty random (Maija in the snow at sunset in Allston?). Fun tymes.

Skyping the Rock Chalk

2008 Jayhawks at BC

I found myself without a way to watch the KU game tonight (particularly critical given it was against Texas). Typically I have to hope that a game like this is on one of the networks or suffer the arduous block long walk to The Sports Depot where the Kansas Alumni Association hangs out (with their alarmingly growing supply of babies). Or, best case scenario, head to Newton to see them play BC. Since ABC was showing Dance Wars: Bruno vs Carnie Wilson and the wind chill tonight is stupid cold I had given up on watching it (note, foreshadowing). Instead I had to get too clever by half and let the cruel mistress technology ’solve’ all my problems. Instead of grading papers I stuttered through 45 minutes of what had to have been the choppiest stream of basketball ever. Thanks Logitech+Dell+ESPN+Skype+Ebay+lack of respect for some law I’m guessing+friends with cable!

PS. The Jayhawks friggin lost at the buzzer with a miss by Mario Chalmers.

PPS. JP was at the game, undoubtably cheering for the wrong team. I can never talk to her again.

PPPS. My personalized Triscuit commercial (a low fat Kraft ‘Food’ ‘Product’!) turned out to be the highlight of the night. You’re welcome Nabisco!!

A good weekend

It’s been a good weekend. My dog’s been gone and I miss her, but other than that, everything’s gone well. Had people over last night, had fun with a three hour video Skype call to Japan. Free international video conferencing, these are fun times we live in.
