Microsoft’s HD Photo standard is now officially tapped to become JPEG’s successor by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, but it’ll be known as JPEG XR. XR stands for extended range, given the wider color palette and finer gradations it can show. Other benefits include in-camera imaging processing support and, supposedly, better compression. Besides losing its Windows-y name (in a former life, it was Windows Media Photo) it’s dropping proprietary control by Microsoft to become as neutral as JPEG is now. Though support’s already built-in to Windows Vista, it’ll take a year to get standardized, at which point large-scale adoption will probably start picking up steam. [Cnet via Electronista]

Mmm so I have a messenger bag fetish I think. I <3 them. Yeah people joke about them being man purses and what not, but I don’t care. I like being able to have all my stuff with me. And on that note, I’m posting this:
I need it. Buy it now.

Well I’ve got a meeting with Beau and Miah about the Knowledgebase this Friday. I’m hoping for good things. I’m not incredibly thrilled about it being based on Sharepoint, but if it works, and it won’t cost extra cash then I guess it’s going to be the best option.
My last experience with Sharepoint consisted of setting it up, creating some test pages, leaving work for the day and the next day the entire server had crashed. So yeah, not much faith in it. I guess there’s the possibility that I may have done something wrong on the setup, but nothing was logged 
The next few days are going to be busy what with Mother’s Day this weekend, Floyd’s 50th, cookouts and such.
That’s about it for now, I’m off to write some code.
