Sometimes it is sure nice to be able to find a stock photo for a graphic you are looking for. The downside is that they usually cost money. I found a pretty good stock photo site today that is free. Most of the photos require no credit (although some do) to use them. It is called stock.xchng and is located at: http://www.sxc.hu/
From my experience in dealing with online photos Smugmug is the best solution out there. They don’t have the limitations that many other sites have, they are consistently fast, and they have awesome support. Overall I think it is well worth the money. If you get a higher tier account they even let you embed smugmug within your own site and change the css to make it look however you want. This is pretty cool. They also have a neat web services API so that many common tasks can be scripted or done through an external app. For example, I upload my photos through a desktop app because I think it is much easier and more flexible.

Ever gotten a meal from a restaurant and not wanted half your meal? Thats what I did tonight. I ordered a meal and one of the parts of the meal was not good at all in my opinion. So I didn’t eat any of it and ate all of the other part. This is what it looked like after.
I decided to move the server back to apache from lighttpd. This was mainly due to having more RAM on the server now. The other reason is that everything relies on apache. You don’t really realize this until you move away from it. All the open source packages though just expect that you have apache functionality for things like auth. Without these features it requires hacking for almost everything you want to install. I didn’t really want to hack these apps anymore just to get them to run. So this is why I moved back to apache. So far it has been a really easy move due to the vhost module I was able to install with. Everything just seems to work and the performane is still good too.
I love my Blackberry phone. It has been one of the greatest things I have ever had. I’m currently having my first problem with it though where I’m just not getting my e-mail. It just decided to stop two days ago for some reason. I finally e-mailed verizon today so we’ll see how long it takes them to get it working again.
The funny thing is that I didn’t change anything at all. It was working one day, and then just stopped. I know that is always the description of problems, but this time its really true. How that occurs I don’t know. It is tough to troubleshoot though since blackberry hides almost all the complexity of the setup from the user and they don’t really provide any useful tools to troubleshoot when you are having problems. So I guess I’ll see how fast Verizon can fix a problem.
I would like to add the following resources to the testlink.org site:
developer blogs – b2evolution?
Documentation repository
FAQ
dotproject for developer scheduling etc.
easier to manage front page for news etc. – drupal?
I’m not fully sure what tools I want to use for each of these things and I’m not sure if what I’m thinking on the ones I do have an idea for is the right choice.
