237 mornings

[jfb]

As you guys know, I got into the habit of taking photographs from the freeway during my travels this past year. When I started a new job in February, I knew I was going to get restless being stuck in one place for the duration of the nine-week contract. But I did have a freeway to drive on.

So now:



I have photographs, one for every morning I commuted on California State Route 237. They're not as beautiful as New Mexico at twilight or as ominous as the Bakersfield oil fields or as weird as the Texas panhandle, but, well, they're where I live, and I'm okay with that.

Say... nice thumbnails.

My photos on the road never turn out well.

The thumbnails are courtesy of Singleshot (http://www.singleshot.org/).

Most of my road photos don't turn out well, but I take a lot of them, so I get a few good ones. And I'm (obviously) willing to post some of the bad ones too.

Figure out how to install Python and Singleshot vs. build/refine my own application.

Decisions, decisions.

Python's easy to install and the installation instructions for Singleshot are actually quite good. Also, knowing the developers can help clear up any problems.

Yeah, I've just never gotten the hang of installing Unix stuff. It's been over a year now, and I still haven't gotten MySQL properly configured. I do what's in the instructions, but it doesn't like that. Alas.
