The Many Ways to Flash (or Not to Flash)

Just thought of adding some of the more fun flash codes to my ExIf tool, but have decided against it for now unless someone directly requests it. I am perfectly happy with the binary choice of 0 (Flash did not fire) or 1 (Flash fired). All of the other options are roughly as easy from […]

ExIf Bliss

After a little more fighting, I finally got things about as far as I think I can. I do not have any lens information in yet, but as far as I can tell there is no officially supported tag for it, only things like Nikon’s maker note fields for it. It sucks, but unfortunately I […]

ExIf Bytes

I am victorious over ExIf! The documentation for ExIf overcomplicates things. While ExIf uses a lot of different types (0x1 through 0xA), it is possible to interact with most common values utilizing only 2 of these, 0x2 and 0x5. 0x2 is the null terminated string, and 0x5 is the 2 pair of Long Ints, acting […]

Still an ExIf No Go

I am still trying to wrap my head around everything in ExIf. The Strings are no big deal, they just convert cleanly to byte arrays and go into the file, but I don’t even know where to begin making things the right format for everything else. If anyone can make any sense of this, please […]

Fighting ExIf

The Exchangable Image-file Format is a nice little thing that keeps up with information relating to how a picture was taken, where it was taken, who took it and what is in the picture (as vague as how far from the camera the subject, or even detailed information about the subject). The use of ExIf […]

Writing Software

It seems like lately I have been creating a lot of software applications, but not really getting any of them where I want them in terms of functionality. All of my apps are very specific in what they do and aren’t really of much use to anyone else. Several of these applications are in the […]

More GITI Problems

If you are sick of hearing about me talk about GITI and her problems, upgrades, etc, feel free to skip this entry (unless you are Chris, in which case, boyfriend, your help is required). I am having problems with GITI, but not on the level of things technologically working or not working, it’s more a […]

Procedures and Precedence

It seems like too often I have to question GITI in some way. Sometimes it is in the form of the amount of time I have to spend directly modifying the database, other times it is in the lack of a coherent user experience. The most recent situation of this was this morning when several […]

APA Reference Manager

Today I have been avoiding getting started on a research project (not due until March 22nd). In place of working on the paper, I have instead decided to give myself a way to put my references into APA standardized form (revision 6). As usual, if you have lots of boredom, check it out: https://sourceforge.net/projects/aparefman/

GITI As An Application… Again

I am once again attempting to build GITI as an application, this time with more seriousness than my previous attempts. The problem I am running into is that I am discouraged from developing it in C# because there is already a fully build PHP version that works pretty well. The PHP version is HUGE compared […]
