Garoo

No visual changes this time, but a structural one: as I was reading a French decoration magazine the other day, I realized it’d be quite convenient scanning images I like and keeping them somewhere, in a big folder holding inspiration for design, decoration, graphics and stuff.

That’s the kind of thing you’d do on Flickr, because it’s damn well designed for this, but you know me, I need to do things by myself — and, actually, I don’t really feel like having my forthcoming collection be kept hostage by faraway servers I have never met.

So I programmed my own thing, a scraplog with images and the usual tag system (available in an RSS feed that isn’t included yet in the general feed, and might or not be later — you’ll notice if it happens). So far there’s only the old snaplog’s contents, as it’s not useless now, but you’ll soon find TV captures, magazine scans and stuff. Basically, you know, images.

Comments aren’t available yet, but they’ll get there (you’ll see when it happens, too, so I won’t announce it again, not that you care anyway). And I still have to import the snaplog’s other contents into the general blog, for all the things that didn’t fit into the scraplog. Plus, I’m warning you now so you’re not surprised when you see things moving around in your aggregator, I have to fix the gallery feeds so there’s one entry per gallery, rather than per image. There it is, everything can now be commented (unless there are bugs around) and if you have subscribed to my feeds you must have seen lots of movement; that was expected, and everything should be stable enough now.

Oh, and while I’m at it: if the site disappears in the night, don’t worry, it should be back tomorrow.
