    December 19, 2005

    I squashed a bug today in Annoture. When selecting another location for the Aperture Library, Annoture did not correctly set the preference. As a result, when you copy annotations from iView to Aperture, no matches could be found. Version 0.9.1 of Annoture has been posted onto my website. I have…

    Compare the Chargers’ broadcasters with those of the Colts during Michael Turner’s 83-yard touchdown run that ended the dreams of the Colts perfect season. It was nice to see the Bolts come back after that disappointing loss to Miami last week. We still need to win the next two games…

    A post on Rob Galbraith’s led me to discover where Aperture is storing its auto-complete items for Keywords and IPTC fields. Although Annoture copies keywords/people from iView media items to Aperture image versions, the keywords/contacts are not copied over to the autofill lists. Aperture keeps a list of keywords and…

    Celebrating the release of Annoture 0.9, Rae and I met up with Dardy at Los Charros Taqueria in Mountain View. Once again, I ordered my favorite dish there, a Super Wet Burrito with Carnitas and no cilantro! The carnitas was not as crispy as last week, but it was still…

    In honor of Paperture, I’ve changed the name of the program to Annoture. Earlier, I discovered Apple was handling exporting IPTC information in an old manner. This unfortunately took out a couple of hours to figure out, time which I could have spent working on other parts of the application.…
