Working with photos

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to post pictures. Web Photos Pro seems pretty cool because it organizes all the albums, but it's shareware only until Sept 30th, and it also automatically creates thumbnails and resizes images in a sub directory. I guess I could start using iPhoto for everything - but you can't make any kind of heirarchy in iPhoto - and most of my photos are in folders within folders. Ahh aggrevation. BlogWorkz seems to be pretty cool though. It has a nagware thing that pops up every 3 minutes, but if I use it a whole lot I may just end up supporting it. I know, paying for software - completely forgeign to me.

Now that I'm back home I've done more work. I finished our new brochure to be e-mailed and given to design studios to help promote Dodeci as a web solution company, fixed the front index page for Dodeci, and also finished a new intro movie for the site as well. I was productive today. I also went down and served at BOL. We aren't serving seconds anymore so we were done by 8pm!

Yesterday I got my new bike with the help in the realm of finances from mom and dad. It's a Fuji brand bike - one of those combo cruiser/mountain bikes. I sooped it up with some panniers and a rack and trunk and computer and all kinds of stuff. I figure if I'm going to be hauling groceries, books, movies, and whatever else I need, and it's taking the place of a car, it needs to have some storage available. I probably need to find a way to easily take on and off the bags (panniers) so I don't worry so much about getting them stolen. It took me a good 3 hours to get everything situated and paid for, and I think I may have to go back tomorrow - the grip shifters aren't working very well and I need to adjust the saddle a bit.

Around 1pm today I took a ride down through University Heights then up El Cajon and ate at the lebanese restaurant - mmmm falafel, good stuff. After BOL I headed over to the new-sileia house. Not sure what to call that house yet - it's not the Basileia House, but it's not NOT the Basileia House. hmm....

Tomorrow we have a meeting with Bernard from Sphere Concepts. I guess he's wanting to do the marketing and propositions to big companies for websites then have Dodeci actually make the sites. Who knows - he just has to realize we aren't his company. This is the company that Fabrice and David Gregg used to work for. And I guess Fabrice still kind of does. He never wants to fully cut cords or let people in on 100 percent of what's going on. another hmm...

Friday or Saturday I'll be heading up to J and Winter's for a Labor Day Extravaganza.

Anything else?

Oh, and Burak is now in San Diego. Living in the college area.
