This was annoying me for some time. Particularly because:
- I couldn’t work out how to do it.
- I regularly make mistakes in adding keywords to a bulk set of images
- I only recently migrated to Aperture from iPhoto and all those imported images are tagged with “iPhoto Original”
- When I upload images to flickr I don’t want the weird tags on the images (ref to point 3!)
Anyway, because basically I’m dumb at that stuff, I found this little gem. It’s a great tip that essentially goes like this:
- Select the images that you want to blast those nasty bulk mistake keywords from
- Complain to yourself mentally that you wouldn’t need to be doing this if you hadn’t made the mistake in the first place
- Make sure the keyword controls are visible (Window -> Show control bar, Window -> Show keyword controls)
- Type the keyword you want removed in the keyword box, and (Wait for it)
- Press Shift-Enter. Now this is very important. Shift-Enter.
My life is bliss.

I wish I wasn’t so crap at CSS so I could spiffy up scrambledminds. I wish I wasn’t so lazy as to not learn.

So Wordpress 2.5 has been released. It seems pretty slick and the new management interface is much nicer and more functional before. Check out the details here.
I’ve also managed to start putting my photos over on Flickr. It’s all going well and I’m getting them on scrambledminds.com by using the Slickr Gallery and Shutter Reloaded (a Lightbox variant) plugins. Quite a few people think that Slickr/lightbox is slow but I think it’s worth it for single or small sets of photos. For larger sets I just hard link to the slideshow url on Flickr.

I wish I could eat more of it. Maybe some of these recipes will help you satisfy that hunger, scratch that itch. Just ask where the recipe is for Beer Can Chicken.

So, apart from the odd post, you can see it’s been pretty quiet on scrambledminds for some time. Boringly so. Thanks to those that think that even when there are posts that it isn’t boring as batshit (Julie). So it’s time to get my act into gear and get some more gear up here. And I will, when I’m finished revamping the site. This involves me learning how to make it look snazzy so it may take some time!

So I’ve taken the plunge after a number of years contemplating it… I’ve bought a Mac. I thought that I’d bite the bullet and get into some computer technology where I can generate content rather than piss-fart around tring to get software or hardware working. Well, that’s the desire anyway. I ended up getting one of the new iMacs and it’s a treat so far. I’ve had a few little hiccups in just attempting something while being classically conditioned for the Microsoft Windows world but it’s actually fading pretty quickly. Anyway, these are pretty (quite) pretty machines.

I got this link on email recently. It’s a cool flash animation timed to Radiohead’s Creep.
Check it out!
