\"Daytona<\/a>
\nShots from the 2012 Daytona Classic<\/a>, held September 22 in (where else) Daytona, FL, are up on the site.<\/p>\n

The shots from the 2012 Southeastern<\/a> have just started going up as well.<\/p>\n

Yes, I’m even more behind that usual, if you can imagine such a thing.<\/p>\n

I’m starting to get very frustrated by my image presentation software. It seems way bloated for the simple job it needs to do, and ever since I moved the site to a new server to get a static IP, the weenier (that’s a technical term) server has made even a simple upload of images into a major and time-consuming chore. <\/p>\n

I’ve been coping by breaking tasks up into small, nested batches so one thing can run in the background while I’m working on something else, but it’s still a pain in the sphincter. <\/p>\n

I’m looking at an alternative that seems much faster and lighter but still seems to have all the functionality I need. In my copious free time (hack gag) I have to see if I can port the Eos theme over to it; I really like having the different software packacges presenting a comparitively seamless look-and-feel (says the guy who hasn’t even finished converting his static pages to the Eos theme).<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, the show. Just another smooth Tony Curtis gig– he makes it look so easy, though I understand the evening show had its share of fun due to unavoidable external issues, but even those were handled (good work Arno!)<\/p>\n

This photography is not<\/strong> my finest work; in particular I’m disappointed in the bad job I did setting the white balance early on– it’s just so hard to tell when it’s off until you can really see it on a full-sized monitor. <\/p>\n

Some of the shots came our wonderfully, but *all* of the shots could have been better. The Southeastern shots came out much<\/strong> more consistently, and I’ll try to do the same at the Gainesville show this weekend. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
