Armadillocon 2011 Pictures Redux

Friday, November 16th, 2012

Poking around some old posts, I noticed that some pictures from more than a year ago weren’t showing up. Turns out it’s because Facebook likes to completely change the name for pictures every now and then.

My process for putting up con pictures is:

  1. Take pictures.
  2. Upload to Mac.
  3. Do a quick edit in iPhoto.
  4. Bulk upload to Facebook.
  5. Copy URLs for JPEG’s from Facebook and reference them from the blog post.

This method is quick, easy, and hosts pics on Facebook’s dime. The downside is the Facebook rejiggering, and having to go back every now and then and redo the links.

Anyway, I’ve gone in and changed all the URLs for my Armadillocon 2011 pictures:

  • Friday
  • Saturday
  • Sunday

    • I’m sure there are some other blog posts with pics that need updating, and I’ll get to those in My Copious Free Time.

    A New Google Irritation

    Thursday, November 10th, 2011

    1. Search for something in Google.
    2. At the top of the search results page, click on “News.”
    3. Instead of showing the news results on your search term, as it did every single day up until now, it blanks the search field and just show you a regular search page, rather than carrying over the term you just searched for.

    Why, Google? Why you gotta play me like that?

    (Note that I refrain from listing irritating Facebook changes, since those seem to occur every single day…)
