Star Trekking

This morning the internet was working (though it would sometimes time out requests, if you refreshed, then the page would normally load, compared to the slower than dial-up speeds we get when the internet isn't working normally). So I finished checking my photo website blog posts, then updated my facebook fan page and twitter for my photo website.

A Wordpress plugin I'd written wasn't working properly on the photo website, so I checked, and it had the local domain name of one of my websites in it, instead of the real domain name. So I changed that.

I then checked my two images that hadn't had the geo-data recorded in them. I couldn't remember if I'd updated them with the info or not. I found I had, but one of their records on the photo website hadn't been updated, so I updated that.

I then started updating some panoramas of Gyeongbokgung palace by copying across the exif to them, and adding other metadata and descriptions. Whenever I made an update to the metadata of a psb file, it would take quite a while to save, so I also read Moose Peterson and John Kimblers' blogs' while I was waiting. I carried on doing this in the afternoon, and also vacuumed my bedroom.

In the evening I watched an episode of Star Trek TOS with Mauser and L, then after that L put on one of the extras on the DVD, which was a 1½ hour documentary about Star Trek and a Christie's auction of various Star Trek memorabilia. The memorabilia sold for stupid amounts, the most expensive one (I think it was an enterprise model) went for half a million dollars! Quite a few other lots went for over $100,000. I think it goes to show that Star Trek fans are
  1. Maniacs
  2. Rich / In well paid jobs
. It was also funny to see the maniacal fans who go to conventions.

The weather today was mostly overcast, with the sun managing to break through a few times.
