should have pictures of the _spines_ of books. Then they’d be easier to find on my randomly-sorted bookshelves.

@pjakobs Horrible way of doing it though. Why not just some drag and drop method, or a “merge” command when you’ve got both selected? Grr.

@Phooto Oooh, good point! I was saying to Kavey that I often take the right photo and then find out what the challenge was afterwards :) Ta!

Oh, how the heck do I merge two keywords in Lightroom?

@zamon @DrHairbear Yes, looking nice out there today. Also, just broke 100,000 views on Flickr, so should probably take a photo to celebrate

Ugh. Have had sleep, but feel a bit rough. Still, have week off now. Should get out there and enjoy it.

@davidpatrick You must have pretty bad luck; think it missed fewer than 20 of my 700-ish books on my first bulk upload…

Booddy-boom-boom-ba-buudy-buddy-boom… Baddi-buddi-booom. Yup, I’m about to watch The Equalizer.

@Phooto Duly entered. Must start taking part in the forums more regularly, so ta for the prod.

Heck, I didn’t even know videos could get into Explore. Cool.

@foxc No, it’s just built into Safari. Think Firefox has a “recently closed tabs” menu that does something similar, though.

Yet again, I am grateful to the UI genius who added a “re-open the window you just stupidly closed without meaning to” button to my browser.

@sean_robbins In my experience, it may be quicker to rotate the building by 90 degrees than to close a set of recalcitrant venetian blinds.

@talkie_tim Excuse my empty tweeting. Bloody Adobe Air applications that don’t ever behave quite like native ones.

@Whatleydude Will have to ask her to have another go. Not sure she’ll agree, she had visions of giving a human transcriber a heart attack :)

Have just figured out why I sometimes have problems straightening photos. Probably helps if you desk is actually level!

via Twitter Web Client

@pjakobs Yes, but still v. annoying if you don’t want to do it without losing your current picture set/selection, like I just had to. Meh.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to pjakobs

@Phooto Yah, but I was straightening with the grid, then looking later and thinking it was wonky, because my monitor was on a tilt! D’oh!

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Phooto

@pjakobs Yes, not saying I can’t do it. Saying that as a UI designer it offends my sensibilities for an otherwise well-designed program!

via Twitter Web Client in reply to pjakobs

@pjakobs Huh? Incremental block selection of what? Works for me with photos. Or are we still talking about keywords?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to pjakobs

Why don’t Twitter new follower emails have a “block” link? The spammers are so obvious I don’t need to go to their pages.

@martingoode Too late for me. Might have bought one if they’d got their act together, but went for the Zi6 instead…

@litmanlive What’s that as a percentage? Am neither average, nor a family, so can’t put that into context…

Blowtorching a creme brulee. If you’re going to have a day off, do it in style, that’s what I say.

@Whatleydude is SpinVox perturbed by obscenities? See, @ahnlak’s wife left me very rude message at the weekend to see how it would cope…

@Lillput Luckily they don’t take much butchering :)

@hayles It worries me when I hear people say that about a company I might be moving to. Can’t be as bad as Vodafone, surely?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to hayles

@Whatleydude It never arrived. That’s why I’ve been wondering how they’re dealt with! We had visions of someone collapsing in a call centre!

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Whatleydude

@hayles Gah. And that’s one of the reasons I’m thinking of switching to them, too :(
