Josh Crane Photo Blog Gets A New Look

July 20th, 2008. Published under Technology. No Comments.

My blog, as you might have noticed, has not been updated in a while. No, I wasnt in a coma :P, I was looking for a good theme and working on my pictures. I also had some trouble with updating WordPress to 2.6, but thankfully it was resolved. I hope you enjoy the website’s new look and feel as much as I do. If you have any comments of suggestions, please, email me.

Photo Library Browsing

June 5th, 2008. Published under Computers, Technology. No Comments.

As you may not have known, JoshCranePhoto.com’s image gallery will be based on the latest and greatest image viewing architecture - PicLens.

     

 

 

What It Is

PicLens is a plugin-

…A computer program that interacts with a host application (a web browser or an email client, for example) to provide a certain, usually very specific, function “on demand”.

All you do is go to the PicLens home page, install the plugin, restart your browser, and your done! Note that not all computers can handle the intense 3D graphics. Most computers made by Apple in the last 5 years can, Dell: 2, etc, etc. Stay Tuned!

Lunch Break

Where’s your favorite place to go out to eat? I don’t know about you, but mine is Panera Bread by far. Whenever I go there, I get a Turkey Sandwich, with a Cheddar-Broccoli soup in bread. It tastes great, is very healthy, and filling!

Where do you like to go out to eat lunch? Do you eat lunch at home? Do you eat it at work? Comment and let me know!

Best Web Hosts

May 16th, 2008. Published under Computers, Technology. 7 Comments.

Want your own website? Well, you need a web host. You can host it yourself — but then you use precious Hard Drive space. And Hard Drives are usually not cheap. The better, cheaper alternative is to pay someone to use their disk space. But then, there’s so many! Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what one is best for you.

Basic WebSite Hosting ~ StartLogic PersonalLogic. It’s pretty cheap and the support is GREAT!

More Advanced Hosting ~ StartLogic ProLogic / DreamHost. No, I’m not a StartLogic Fanboy, but they have never failed me. DreamHost is supposedly really great.

Best Web Hosting In The World ~ MediaTemple (mt)’s (dpv) Nitro. They cost A LOT, but they are the best host in the world. 15,000 RPM SAS Drives, Quad Core Woodcrest Xeon 2.33 Ghz, and 4 GB Fully Buffered DDR-2 RAM.

I know you all [I Hope ^.^] have been waiting to see my pictures. When school is out, I’ll continue working on a page with all my photo’s on it. It should take me some time, but not too long. I have to watermark them all!!! Stay Tuned!

End of School is Near!

May 12th, 2008. Published under Cameras/Photography, Technology. No Comments.

School is almost out everyone! What are you going to do over summer break? Play outside? Watch TV? Work on next year’s science fair? I’m going to be me - a photographer. The only bad thing is my HD is only 120GB.

This will be fun!

Why Macs Suck

May 10th, 2008. Published under Computers, Technology. 4 Comments.

Top 10 reasons why Macs suck. Enjoy!

10. You can’t use ancient 5-1/4″ floppy disks.

9. You can’t go shopping with your buddies for a Sound Blaster board because Macs don’t need one.

8. Your 200 MHz 604e Mac does integer calculation equivalent to a 362 MHz Pentium Pro, but you can only brag about 200 MHz.

7. Networking a Mac is not an impressive accomplishment.

6. Macs don’t come in black, and we all know black cabinets make computers faster and louder.

*EDIT: The Macbook comes in black, but in the future may very well soon be made of Aluminum.*

5. You have to add a system extension to make Mac menus stay down like Windows. We like pokey menus because it’s too hard to hold that heavy mouse button down while we read.

4. And the Mac mouse is too slow. We want our cursor to fly wildly off the screen when we twitch our wrist because hyper cursors make our slow PCs look faster.

3. You just plug Macs in and they work. Where’s the fun in that?

2. When you add stuff, you just plug them in and they work, too. Again, no fun.

1. Your clients and teachers know about Numbers 2 and 3, so they expect Mac users to deliver results, not excuses!
