(Friday, Sept. 8, 2006)<\/p>\n
Drastic change in the weather today — cloudy, windy, and cold all day. Cold enough that my landlady called to explain how to turn on the heat in my room. A good day to stay indoors, edit photos, and try to catch up on my blogging … which I did for much of the day. Well, I didn’t get too far with the blogging. After editing a ton of photos (I post only a fraction on my blog), I selected “export pictures” — an important step in the editing and posting processes.<\/p>\n
Nothing happened. So I tried it again.<\/p>\n
And nothing happened. So I tried it one more time.<\/p>\n
And a couple of hours later (literally), the export finished. Turns out, since I hit “export” 3 times, the photo editing program was trying to export the 100+ photos 3 times concurrently, which takes a long <\/em>time. Apparently, my laptop and\/or the program was a bit slow today, and I just didn’t wait long enough for the first export to start.<\/p>\n Some people think I’m impatient, but I don’t have time to address that right now.<\/p>\n Around 4:30 this afternoon, I got cabin fever and went for a walk, doing a couple of miles along the Berkeley Aquatic Park<\/strong><\/a> trail. As usual, I saw some cool buildings and flora along the way:<\/p>\n [thumb:797:c:l=p]<\/p>\n [thumb:801:c:l=p]<\/p>\n My proof shot is included in the Aquatic Park album:<\/p>\n [thumb:805:c:l=p]<\/p>\n I’ve seen this sign on a number of houses for sale in the area; I’m thinking of having this phrase tattooed on my forehead:<\/p>\n [thumb:808:c:l=p]<\/p>\n Bummer, no bike shots for The Boyfriend today.<\/p>\n
