New shoes

I’ve bought new shoes today. My mother would be way too glad to hear this.

New shoes

You see, I’m not that kean about new clothes, or footwear for that matter. And I hate shopping. That is why I tend to choose something very comfy and practical and wear it until it tears into pieces. Even than, if it can still hold on me, I’ll wear it.

My old shoes kept holding for quite a while. My mother was pushing me into a new purchase as far as two years ago. Needless to say that she spent every free second during her last visit convincing me to visit the shoe shop. She didn’t manage to get me in though. When she realized that she was failing, she tried to scare me with the promise that she will send me something from Moscow without consulting me and withoug me trying those shoes on first. And that she’d insist on me wearing them. Oh, well. That didn’t scare me at all. She actually went into the shop trying to find something suitable and realized that it wasn’t that easy. Anyway, no she doesn’t have to.

Goodbye, old shoes, you served me well.

Old shoes

I’ll wear you only once again – for the upcoming KSP. :)

Crawling attempt

Crawling attempt

Every time we put Maxim on his belly, he uses his hands to hold his head and upper torso up. He can stay like this for a few minutes. He also attempts to crawl, moving his legs, trying to find something to push away from. When he gets tired, his head starts bouncing from side to side. He tries to catch it, which exsausts him even faster. And than, he just falls on his side (check the last picture in the album for the display of that). As far as the books suggest, he is developing slightly ahead of time. But that’s nothing to worry about, our pediatrician says.

Yet another reorganization of photos

After some more thinking and consideration, I decided to reorganize my photos yet again. Having several hierachies based on date under one tree (/photos/2005/04/… and /photos/Projects/POTD/2005/04/…) is way too confusing. It makes finding things too hard. Also, having photoblog without RSS feed an annotations (except for EXIF comments) doesn’t seem right. And because I am such a control and centralization freak, I decided to do it too.

Anyway, I will restructure my POTD folders in the following way: folder named /photos/Projects/POTD/2005/04/15/ will now be named /phots/2005/2005-04-15_POTD/). In other words, POTD folders will be mixed together with the normal albums.

But you won’t have to look for them too hard no further. I will be posting selected images to this blog. The image will be thumbnailed to 400 pixels or whatever fits my current theme. I will also be posting the link to the album where the image can be seen in bigger and/or original size along with other images from the same day. All POTD images will be categorized as, well, POTD. Additional categories will be assigned as appropriate. No EXIF data will be posted. Those curios enough can get images from the album and scan those for EXIF. Maybe I will change this later if I find a better solution.

I have started to move things around, so you might have minor problems for a couple of days or so. After that, locating and navigating images will be a bliss.

Update: While fixing POTD, I decided to reorganize the normal albums aswell. I have created a separate category for them too. I’ve went back and fixed all POTDs and normal albums from the beginning of 2005. I’ll do the rest shortly.
