PSA: For those of you fleeing Instagram.

2012.12.20

If you’re fleeing Instagram, but trying to figure out how the heck to get your photos out, and what to do with them once you’ve got them, you might want to check out freethephotos.

(Please note that I am in no way connected to this service. I’ve never used it. I have no idea about any security issues involved. I don’t even know if it works. I read about it on the one thing well blog (which is a great blog that software junkies should check out), and thought I’d pass it on.)

We see a great need.

While having breakfast with sitz this morning, we ended up talking about the sailing stones of the Racetrack Playa. I mentioned that I’ve always felt a strong urge to go out there and paint the stones to look like snails.

This is a good idea, no? Once I’m able to travel again, I may need to find funding for this venture.

OS X UNIX Geeks: Discuss: MacPorts vs Homebrew vs Fink

2012.12.20

So, I have shiny new toy to play with, but it’s lacking some of the UNIX bits that make me feel really at home in the terminal. Previously, I’ve always defaulted to Fink when I’ve wanted package management on OS X. However, this time around, I thought I’d ask what the rest of you are doing. Do you, too, use Fink? Or are you more of a MacPorts sort of person? Do any of you out there use Homebrew? What made you choose the system you’re using? Why didn’t you go with one of the others?

Help me, Interweb! The fate of… well, nothing really important, except maybe my curiosity… is at stake. But I have lots of curiosity!
