Vultures or Saviors?

I think I’m split on my opinion of people who buy things just to put them on ebay and make a hefty profit.

I mean, that’s what ebay is for, right? Is it all just “supply and demand” at work? Are they providing a valuable service? Should they be making as much as they do on some items?

I’ve been thinking about this due to the fact that it’s nearly Xmas, and an item I’d really like to get has been backordered in stores for months now, and seems only available via ebay if I’m willing to pay more than twice the original store price. Which I really can’t afford to do.

Damn vultures…

PhotoStack

I needed a simple gallery application for a client, and the PHP-based PhotoStack fit the bill.

Sure, the last time I looked at PhotoStack, I was concerned about the license, but it’s now GPL‘d.

I had to hack it just a bit to do what I needed, but it was fairly simple, involving minor changes to the photostack.class.php file, and then creating a custom theme. Kudos to Noel Jackson for making this nifty little open-source app available.

Snow, at last!

Dec 1st, 2006 - SNOW!

I hoped, and wished, and waited… and it looks like the snow is finally here…

Of course I still need some bindings…
