Two years ago John took us to Home Depot. We bought supplies to create the PLWall, and had lunch at the Good Time Emporium: hot-dogs, fluorescent lemonades and sweet-n-sour gummy worms.
Tonight we added a farewell visit to the Good Time Emporium in the PLW countdown to-do list.
My PLW days are coming to an end.
Well that was fast, like three weeks at most for the next thousand pictures. All because I changed the way I sorted the tags from alphabetical order to popularity, and my friend Manzur wanted to put his trademark nickname gandul on top of the list. It became a tagging race for him, and I somehow felt that I should join. The resulting sequence of uploads was mostly dominated by Manzur, and picture number 4000 has his signature on it. You cant really tell what is going on in it, except that there is a concert and a stage, and thanks to the tags you can figure out that some of those big pixels might actually be Shakira, the colombian bombshell with a golden butt.
For now though, I am still winning.
My first Rails application. It only took me like a year to make one. It is a simple anonymous picture aggregator that features a tag system to organize the content in a picture-word network. Its architecture is as lightweight as possible to let the user look at pictures (or collect them) in the most direct possible way.
Several friends and I have been testing it from around a month and I have decided to put it out thanks to Brent’s wise advice, even though it is still incomplete. You can play with it here:
I am working on adding pagination for the picture grid in the frontpage, and a reasonable way of sorting-browsing-searching through the tags.
I took this picture a couple of weeks ago. The open window is very close to my desk. One day the police came and told us to close it because the former president of Iran was visiting the Media Lab, and now all windows are always closed because outside is getting really cold.
