Random Update

I uploaded a bunch of stuff to the gallery.
If you know a way to make Gallery2 grab image rotation header info and automatically rotate the images, please leave a comment and share your trickery.
I feel obligated to write something about how things aren’t crappy, considering the grave nature of my last post over a month ago. I dropped the independent study, and I think I’m doing reasonably well in most of my classes (trying to dig myself out of the hole I created in Systems Software).
I have been doing some thinking and talking to people about collaborating on an animation project, which if it pans out should be pretty cool. And in a similar vein, I’m thinking about starting an ‘official’ animation club at school.
But the most pressing matter at the moment (by which I mean important enough for me to have ignored for the entirety of this weekend) is making two identical icosahedra and painting them differently to show the relationship between color/value and perceived form.
And then Thomas and I are doing some crazy assembler stuff for Tuesday.
And the animation project gets off the ground.
Who am I writing this for?

Does your camera support EXIF image rotation data?

Turn on commenting on your gallery so I can berate your work!

Thomas just turned on the fan at work. I’m cold now.

Jason: I’m pretty sure the camera supports rotation info, as Preview automatically rotates things. But if I try to actually rotate the images in Preview, it doesn’t seem to affect the file how I expect it to. And a convenient recognition of headers on loading into Gallery would be nice, as I don’t really want to have to manually rotate things either before or after upload.
Comments are now on. It looks like there’s no way to receive an email when a new comment is posted, so considering how many images are in the gallery, it’s unlikely I’ll ever see anything you say. Unless I compulsively search for commented images. Which I am just psychotic and self-absorbed enough to do.
Jin: Your site is still down. I have lost all respect for you. As such, you will never hold any power over any as-yet-unformed animation clubs.
Dan: Thank you. That means a lot to me.
