Well, I just upgraded to Movable Type 3.2, but I’m kinda feeling like switching to WordPress now. Back when I just switched to MT, it seemed like MT was a bit more advanced than WP. Now it seems like WP has gone CRAZY and has matured quite a bit. Hmmm…

Here’s Oriana, she’s all grown up on us and turned into a faerie. =*( Hehe… more pics on my Flickr! (Click the image)

.

I’ve gone Pro! I’ll be using Flickr from now on instead of Gallery… wheeeeee…
Oh yeah, that’s Viraj.

So I thought I wasn’t going to get to make a new layout this year “in time,” but it turns out I was wrong. =) Some inspiration and a good day’s work and well… here you have it.

I think I’ve gotten sucked into Flickr, I will probably go Pro soon…

So after messing with Flickr for a bit, I’ve got an issue (with Picasa as well). What I want, ideally, is to have the smaller version of the images I upload to always be 500px. Works pretty well for pictures that are not rotated (landscape), but for portrait type pictures, Flickr and Picasa are “smart” and will rotate automatically, however when they resize to “500px” they resize the width, which is actually the height since it’s rotated. I want the width to be resized to 500px, taking into account the rotation.

Any ideas on a solution to this issue? I’m thinking I could perhaps run a batch on the files and detect if they’re rotated or not, actually rotate the image and then wipe out the EXIF (or whatever) that says the image was rotated… but… I dunno…

Edit: Ugh, from the looks of it, it seems like Flickr will resize the largest dimension to 500px (no matter if it’s widght/height). Suck.
