I snapped this picture with my iPhone 3Gs. It wasn't quite good enough to submit to gizmodo like my friend over at lightsandshapes.com though. I was actually surprised at the quality of this shot taken with my phone, I just wish there was a way to adjust the shutter speed with the iPhone!! maybe with the iPhone 5...

I took this shot with my iPhone 3GS on the 4th. This was right before the sun went down and the fireworks started. I'm still surprised everytime I take a picture with my phone that the quality is as high a it is.

Check out my friend over at Lights and Shapes! He just got a Nikon D90 camera and is gonna be posting a lot of pictures with it.

The Reign of Kindo is releasing their new album, "This is what happens", early august of this year. Check out samples on Amazon of their upcoming album! It sounds awesome so far. I probably won't be in Buffalo for the release show so i'm going to just have to preorder my album and hope that it gets here in time for the show. Check them out!!!

I found a problem with Ampache when retrieving the track numbers for m4a files. I found a quick hack here that can fix this problem, and allow Ampache to get the actual track number for each song, rather than saying that every song has a track number of 0. http://ampache.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1348.

For those who just want the code, you have to edit {ampachewebdir}/lib/class/vainfo.php. Open this file, and find the get_info() function, and paste this at the bottom above the line 'unset($this->_raw);'.

if($this->tags['quicktime']['track']==0) {
    $this->tags['quicktime']['track']=exec('faad -i '.escapeshellarg($this->filename).' 2>&1 |grep track: |cut "-d " -f2',$retval);
}

The pictures section of my website is FINALLY up. For a couple months it has been down, pending a server upgrade. Now that the server has been upgraded you can check it out at http://www.daveeddy.com/zenphoto!
