My promised picture. You can't see the continuous head bobbing that all the characters do.

A New Duck makes a splash at my local pond. He had all the attention. The drakes envied his dark sleek feathers.

Shiira Browser - Fast and Pretty

Shiira Browser 2.0b2 for OS X
Originally uploaded by KCanard.

Shiira 1.2.2 (Panther or later) is the stable build, but 2.0b2 (in the pic) is - in my reckoning - faster still, but alas buggy still. Nevertheless I am using this at present. I had tried Shiira before, but wasn't as blown away by it - don't know if it was more a change in the app or a change in me that makes me feel WOW. I can't wait to see the stable release of 2.0.

This is my first post from Flickr. I like this Flickr blog feature.

Shuffle Saver (Flickr Screensaver)

One of my favourite Flickr related Things is the Flickr screensaver Shufflesaver.

Shufflesaver allows you to view a slideshow of Flickr photos from a person (or narrow down to that person's favourite photos), or you can look for photos specifying up to three tags. You can view photos from everyone's latest photos, or from everyone's interesting photos. You can also select photos from your iPhoto collection if Flickr doesn't appeal. There are various slide tramsitions to choose from and you can set the duration for slides to stay up.

There are also options that allow you to save the current slide to a folder on your hard drive, or iPhoto, or to open the photo's page in you web browser (this doesn't disturb the screensaver, it happens in the background).
A feature I would like is the ability to get photos from pools, or from one or more of a users sets - or perhaps from various sets of various users - then it all gets a bit complex, but at leat the ability to get photos from a pool - so I could see photos from the Fruit and Veg pool, for example.

Getting Into Flickr

I have at last decided to make use of my dormant Flickr account.
Here is my page - http://www.flickr.com/photos/kcanard/.

I'm finding Flickr very interesting.
Flickrbits lists many different Flickr Apps and development tools, extensions Web Apps etc. - some that I have been looking at are
Colour Picker (Colr Pickr). It's a web App colour wheel - pick a colour and you are shown Flickr pictures which consist mainly of that colour.
Flickr Leech Is very nice indeed shows a whole page of thumbnails of various Flickr htings, Interestingness (I do wonder how Flickr interestingness is calculated, gotta find out) by person, by group name, tag etc. Sometimes a page full of like 500 thumbnails. wowee zowee.

I also like looking at the food on Flickr - lots of Japanese, Singaporean and just food, food, food out there.
There's a ton of other stuff I shall be checking out.

p.s The Camera Finder is great way of checking out what kind of pics a certain camera can take and to see what kind of pics people have been taking with the model of camera you have. They have usage and popularity graphs as well.
