Adobe created a new fileformat to support a range RAW-formats of digital camera in one fileformat. It’s called DNG, and it is based on the Digital Negative Specification. There is a RAW to DNG converter available, and the new format will be recognized by PhotoShop CS. Good stuff.
Hello gang! I’m back from my holiday in Morocco. It is a pleasant country to visit, with very friendly people and a beautiful scenery. I still have to delete the technically failed pictures, but if I count these in, I took about 3000 pictures in 23 days… Next time I will bring an image-tank, because a laptop is large and heavy.
The S2 Pro survived the sand-storm in the desert, but only because it was stowed away in my camera bag that I protected with my own body (that felt a little sour after the sand that scraped my bare arms). A not-to-forget experience.
If you visit Morocco, be sure to bring a power-connecter-changer to fit North-Africa AND Southern-Europe, since a part of Morocco has French walloutlets. I was in the fortunate position to be able to lend the latter one from a fellow travaller a couple of times.

Thanks for listening.
Yesterday I installed PHPSurveyor, a MySQL+PHP based piece of software that enables you to create online questionnairies.
It took me some time to get the software working, but that was basically because the configationfile is not too obvious with its remarks/documentation what to supply as rootdir and as rooturl. The documentation says it should basically be the same, but I found that this is not correct. There is also a reference to the rootdir-variable that should have been rooturl. Having sorted that out, things went very smooth.
With PHPSurveyor, you can create online interviews, and as in all good interview-software, questions can be of different types, they can be conditional (branching) and there’s a bunch of pages to view the results and statistics. The interface is very neat and straightforward.
I will create a survey soon, to act as a proof-of-concept for my perhaps future employee. They want to conduct surveys with potential clients on paper (finding suspects/prospects and sending them the survey via postal mail), but I think having a survey online could lead to “automatic” suspect/prospect generation. One never knows who stops by…
