Jonbu the baker

The Tokyo Tower will serve as a good marking stick to the end of my photo stream from the October 2007 Tokyo stop-over.

My original idea was to process every photo before uploading them. It turns out that I made changes to maybe 3% of them. I think more of them would benefit from some tweaking, but the habit / hobby of playing with photos is a time consuming (and eye straining) one. Besides I’m happy with how the camera dealt with most of them. Maybe I’ll go back and play with some of them in the future.

And Yay for over-powerful photo programs.

I have a problem on my Mac. It’s minor, but it’s there.

Look! The dock has disappeared, leaving only the reflection, and the fanned out icons are not visible.

The problem doesn’t bug me much because I don’t use the Fan much, but that’s partially because it didn’t work long enough for me to try it.

So far as I know there’s no sure solution to this. A restart usually make it go away for a while. The best I could find is the Apple Discussion Thread here, or here (someone in there suggests a corrupt file in the Downloads folder might cause this). I’ve also read that technical support would suggest you resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Maybe I’ll try that.

I like how the glassy dock looks tho.

[UPDATE]
On Feb.11 2008 Apple released the Leopard 10.5.2 Software Update, and right after that, they released a Leopard Graphics Update. They’re always vague about what the software updates fix, but hopefully they fixed this one while they were at it. I’ll have to see if this problem still shows up after installing these updates.

Environment Canada (I worked for them before!) Just issued a heavy Snowfall warning followed by a heavy Rainfall warning for Vancouver! Gonna be a messy Sunday.

If they were off about that rain prediction, we’ll just get a lot more snow instead, which buries everyone in.
