Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They flee by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them,
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!

Geotagging images in Aperture 3 with Places

Posted by polarapfel on Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:48

Using Aperture’s Places to geotag my images has been a much desired feature on my Aperture feature wish-list when I still used the old version. It turns out that using Places is not as straight forward as I expected it to be. Manually dragging pictures to the map works perfectly fine, but when adding GPS tracks and automating the process of placing the images, it’s hard to get an accurate result.

A short test drive of Valve's Steam on Mac OS X

Valve has released its games distribution platform Steam for Mac OS X recently. I downloaded it two days ago and gave it a short test drive on my MacBook Pro. Basically, most of what I expected from the platform worked. Some things, like payment and support are more than just shaky - in a negative sense. Also, at least on my Mac Steam crashes more often than what is tolerable.
