Exif data is now shown along with images
by Nico Tranquilli on Apr.21, 2009, under Side Projects
This is a quick post just to let you know a thing related to my SuckRSS software. From now on, the “HTML generation” module will retrieve EXIF data and automatically add information on some of the camera settings (exposure, aperture, metering mode, gps position and altitude, etc) for ‘educational’ purposes.
I’ve reprocessed some of the past postings.

RSS Feed URL Update (walking away from FeedBurner)
by Nico Tranquilli on Apr.16, 2009, under Side Projects
I’m no longer using FeedBurner. I activated a 30 day redirection but unfortunately
some feed readers (including Google Reader) forget about permanent HTTP redirects and don’t update the subscription URL.
Please make sure you’re pointing to the correct RSS URL:

The old one will stop working soon. - Thanks!.
