  1. That's incredible! What a huge undertaking though...I saw some of the detailed metadata you're adding. I bookmarked the page though, I can't wait to see what else you've got!

     

    How kind. Thank you. It certainly keeps me busy! For metadata application, I have been reading my grandfather's handwritten notes that accompanied his negatives and fat fingering it all into the IPTC data fields. I'm also trying to supplement his info with data I'm finding on the interwebs. It's a ton of work, but it certainly has been an enjoyable time and quite the education.

     

    Here is the actual homepage, if interested: http://scenesfromthepast.com

     

    Anyway, thanks for looking!

  2. That's pretty cool - I like looking at photos of towns.

     

    Thanks, A-man! I've been working on this for about three years now. I know it isn't the best organized yet, but if I could make it into a full time job I could whip it into shape a lot quicker. Basically, I've somewhere in the range of 50-60K images that I am currently applying metadata (keywords, controlled vocab, IPTC info, etc.). It took my gramps 50 years to amass this collection, so if it takes me a few years to get it all online, that's o.k.). Anyway, check back in because I'm uploading stuff all the time.

     

    Thanks for taking a look!

  3. Fortunately, my friend managed to get tickets, so I will be able to go.

     

    Still, it bothers me that I got locked out like that, b/c I feel like I did nothing wrong, but TM's clock was off or something. I just don't quite understand what TM is trying to accomplish with that refresh limit.

     

    Good for you! Will this be your first show?

     

    Evidently, it is characteristic of software used by a-hole scalpers. Plus, they were getting hammered by people refreshing. Like I said, I got that screen 5 times before I got my tix.

     

    Either way, enjoy the show!

  4. I started trying at exactly 10:00 (according to the US Navy official clock site), but kept getting the 'tickets not yet available' screen. Then, I got locked out for trying too hard. WTF? I hate Ticketmaster.

     

    I kept getting that screen, too. Ticket Bastard does blow, but sometimes you get lucky.

     

    Good luck, I bet you can find some if you keep trying.

  5. I thought it was a great show. Cool poster, too. Out of all the Wilco show posters I have, this one is probably the best due to the band's signatures. I'm thinking of framing this one.

     

    Plus, Spiders gets me every time. :wub

     

    I am going to be SO late for work tomorrow.

  6. Of all the days I choose to listen! I haven't listened regularly for months because Drew was away. I was pretty bummed when Mike started talking about the Free Press article this morning. I think Mike needs someone like Drew to play off of, so who knows how long they can last as is?

     

    Anyway,

  7. Also, it looks like you can find Phish's take on the White Album on 'Live Phish 13':

     

    Live Phish Vol. 13: 10/31/94, Glens Falls Civic Center, Glens Falls, New York [LIVE]

    http://www.phish.net/hpb/1994.html#10-31-94

     

    So, I wonder if my boot was wrong- it wasn't NYE- or did they perform the White Album more than once? I'll have to pick that up with my Amazon gift certs I scored on my bday.

     

     

    anyway,

  8. Happy birthday, man. Sorry I missed the party, but I must have known something was up, because I had Bibim Bap for the first time in a couple years on Saturday.

     

    Cheers

     

     

    I STILL haven't found a good Bibim Bap joint in the NoVa area. I'm going back to Ann Arbor for a wedding in a few weekends and I might have to stop by the place that sells two things on their lunch menu: Bibim Bap and cheesesteak hoagies. I've never tried their cheesesteaks, but the Bibim Bap is among the best I've ever had.

     

    Thanks, man.
