just when i think i have it just the way i want it, it does something new…
for some reason, it is posting everything with a timestamp that is 7 hours late, so, if it says an event happened at 7pm, it actually happened at noon… and, since it wraps everything up at around midnight and posts the digest for the day, some events from one day aren’t showing up until the next… very annoying…
on the digest for the 20th, i fixed the times manually, but entries from that night still showed up in the digest for the 21st… rather than cut and paste and then fix the times manually on the 21st, i am just making this post to let people know it is all screwed up… this post will be a sticky and stay at the top of the list – when the issue is fixed, i will let it drop from the top…

UPDATE – sept 28th

the problem is still there and i have had no reply from the author, so, i just now went back and manually fixed all the daily posts from the last week (the titles have had “[fixed]” added to them)… i am hoping that something will change – perhaps when the new version comes out or i don’t know what… until then, i will complain loudly 😛

UPDATE – october 6th

for some reason, the post for oct3 came out perfect, even covering the cross over past midnight… why would it suddenly do it flawlessly right in the middle of posts it did wrong??? i am very confused…
anyway, there is still no word from the guy who wrote it – he hasn’t posted at his message board where questions are asked since sept27… so, i have been going back every few days and hand-editing the posts… and complaining 😛

balloon season is here and this is an old favorite of mine with some new modifications to snap it up a bit… here is the original from oct 1, 2005…

this was taken at albuquerque international balloon fiesta with my first real digital camera (lotsa stuff is broke at that link, btw)… i have no idea how it came out so good – it was totally a lucky shot, pointed, clicked, and it was just there… i have always had an affection for it and there was very little to do when i touched it up for this re-post… i enhanced the colors a little and sharpened the whole thing a bit, cropped a bit off the bottom, brightened it a hair, but, that’s it… i am considering doing a fancier edit, but, this will do for now…

anyway, tomorrow is the local, pathetic little balloon thing and we are about three weeks away, i guess from the REAL balloon fiesta in abq and, rest assured, i will be taking my dslr and my little canon p&s with plenty of cards…
