4/24    I finally got to scan some of the old photos for archive purpose.
        The problem is these scanned photos carry no EXIF data.  I want
        to add 'Date Picture Taken' information en masse.  I tried several
        tools that claim to do EXIF batch update but none could batch
        insert 'Date Picture Taken' information.  Does anyone have any
        suggestion for a batch EXIF editor? Thx.
        \_ jhead
           \_ Thanks.  I will try it out tonight.  The editor I have tried
              all lacked the ability to mass add new header information.
              Some could mass edit, but not mass add.  I hope jhead does
              what I want.
            \_ Just tried jhead, like other editors, it can update date
               fields but not add them.  Thanks anyway.
               \_ d'oh. do you have photoshop?  I've seen some exif tags
                  in jpgs saved by photoshop.
        \_ On a side note, while we're on photos, is there a way to remove
           a shadow (smudge on a lens) common to a large number of different
           jpgs?  -John
           \_ I doubt there's a really satisfactory way, but you might be
              able to do something with an adjustment layer in Photoshop.

11/7    Next-gen console predictions anyone?  I'll start:
        PS3s sells out instantly, eBay for around $8-900, remain out of stock
        through christmas then just as supply is kicking in, they run out
        of people willing to spend $600 on a console.  Wii will sell out
        initially, but resupply will just barely keep up with demand.
        \_ You do realize that there are almost exactly as many ps3s

11/02   What is the best way to implement this?  I have a queue where jobs
        are submitted for processing, and multiple worker threads
        asynchronously pull the front job from the queue to process it.
        I also have N (N=3)
        priority classes.  Normally I would just implement this as N FIFO
        queues and that would be fine.  But wait, there's more!  Some jobs

8/29    Any recommendations for windoze software for backing up files to an
        external hard drive? I'd prefer that the backup isn't one huge .bkf
        file a directory? Is this possible with the ntbackup.exe that comes
        with windows XP.. Also I'd like the software to be a GUI that normal
        non-technical people could run. THanks.
        \_ Not for windows but if you're running any flavor of Unix, just

3/10    I wrote a little perl, that had a little curl
        right in the middle of it's call stack.
        And when it crashed, it crashed very very fast,
        but when it was slow, it was working

2/17    What's the best wireless keyboard to get? Looking for something
        that's compact and quiet. I bought the Gyration keyboard/mouse
        combo and it's a total piece of shit. The first package I bought
        was completely broken. The second package had a working mouse
        but the keyboard wouldn't respond. Upon researching I found
        out there's a whole bad batch they shipped out and many people
