Second
The photos are up from my second day in San Francisco, including the WaSP mini-conference/party. There are a few funny ones but the ones from today are really great, I just need to finish a few up.

First Photos
Photos from my first day in SF are up, there were some others but with any luck they’ll never see the light of day.

In San Francisco
And the weather is gorgeous! Rode the BART from the airport, and it was the most comfortable public transporation I’ve ever been on. The Muni was about the same as any other subway/train thing I’ve been on, except every third person had white iPod earphones on and a Powerbook in their lap. I’m sitting in Crepes on Cole and it’s a very nice place, the food smells great and the music is good. Very cozy. Can’t wait for Tantek to get here so we can eat. What amazes me right now is the number of people just walking around. Lots of babies, lots of dogs. Lots of people holding dogs like babies. It would be easy to sit here and people watch all day. What’s funny is in the back of my mind I half expect every face that walks by to belong to a web celebrity, like at SxSW.

Randomness
By the way, you may have noticed that the random photo is back to being random again. Every ten minutes one picture will be chosen from the almost nine thousand to grace the header. If you see an interesting one, please click on it and leave a comment.
Corbis
These Corbis galleries have some beautifully done photos. Worth poking around for portrait ideas, at the very least.
Color Shift
Neat color shift widget, includes a Photo Matt color scheme. Fun to play with.
2 Years Old
I noticed that PhotoMatt.net turned 2 years old the other day. Maybe when I get a spare moment I can finish up the draft post I started last year when the site turned one.
Staticize Reloaded
The caching plugin I pointed to the other day was very well-executed but it didn’t meet my needs for several reasons, mainly that it cached every bit of output, which wouldn’t be appropiate for things like my random photo. (Or my non-rotating photo formerly known as the random photo in the header. It’s on break right now.) My site is a pretty neat system of PHP includes, and I want to preserve that because it makes my life easy and doesn’t slow anything down any perceptable amount.
So I took the Staticize plugin and added support for dynamic non-cached sections, cleaned up the code a bit, fixed a weird problem where it would just show a blank page if it couldn’t write the file, fixed the problem with edit links and the comment form, and made it fit with the WordPress code a little smoother. Full instructions are included with the plugin, but to install just make sure your wp-content folder is writable (you may have already done that when setting up WP) and activate the plugin, and it will start working immediately.
I have a couple more improvements in mind for it already, but it’s fully functional and I’m running it right now.
Out of Order
Because of the size of the photolog, I had to break it up and move everything over by hand. However now it is badly out of order. The thought of manually reordering 282 albums is terrifying. I need a way out. I’m watching this thread closely.
photojunkie
Rannie is in the middle of his Blogger Week pictures and today I make an appearance. Thanks Rannie. 🙂
Staticize Plugin
Staticize Plugin for WordPress. Drop in your plugins directory, create a directory for it to put stuff, and activate. Instant on-demand caching. I’m going to try this out here as soon as I finish the server move. (The photolog may be broken for a few hours.)
