Went to Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth to meet with some Maine photographers around sunrise. The sun was well up by the time I got there. I took a few shots of Portland Head Lighthouse, but I spent most of my time shooting more unusual things.
Here is one shot of the lighthouse that came out OK. Notice all the photographers bunched up in the shot. (”Get out the way!”)

Wow, it’s amazing how your desk can just accumulate nonsense. Entropy sets in when you aren’t constantly battling in favor of order. I’m losing big time.

A professor friend found himself in a bind and asked me to do some technical illustrations for his research paper. It was a fun change of pace from my usual programming lifestyle.

Today, I had my first annoying and somewhat scary experience with Facebook. I’ve been playing the wildly popular Mafia Wars by Zynga on Facebook. The concept is to do various criminal jobs and rob and attack other people in the game so that you may accumulate items and advance to higher levels where you can do more of the same.
When you attack or rob someone, you can cause them to fight back, ask their mafia to attack you, or put you on a hit list where anyone can attack you for a reward. It’s all part of the fun of the game.
Someone in the game crossed over the boundary into my real life; at least my “real” Facebook life. The person sent me a menacing message on Facebook about my behavior in the game.

Shane Culp mentioned Chris Anderson’s book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” during a Boston Game Loop discussion on Indie Business Strategies. Chris Anderson’s book promises to discuss things like Freemium strategies, piracy and the like. This is all very interesting to the indie game developer.
Free: The Future of a Radical Price
I found
Free: The Future of a Radical Price
online at Amazon.com.
But, it is also available on Audible. There are two versions: a free, unabridged (7 hr +/-) version and an abridged, straight-to-the-point version (3:20 hrs +/-).
It’s also available online in Scribd format.

I’m working on a Mac with OS X 10.5.7 and a fresh XAMPP 1.0.1 install. XAMPP gives your OS X a complete Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP installation to work with. With it, you can develop on your Mac with a complete web server. (Sure, Mac comes with most of this stuff built in, but XAMPP is really nice and allows you to have your Mac web services turned off for security.)
XAMPP also comes with phpMyAdmin for managing your MySQL server through a web page. I find phpMyAdmin to be awesome for most of what I do with a database. Sometimes I need to revert to command-line for large datafiles and stuff, but I’d say 99.9% of the time I can use phpMyAdmin for what I’m doing. I ran into a problem with phpMyAdmin trying to view a database table that was imported from an Excel export. For some reason, the phpMyAdmin page is just plain white – making me think there was some web/parsing/display problem involved. I needed a different way to view the DB. For this kind of thing I hate the command line. (The line wrapping…blech!)
