RedBubble Find: Urban Flower by srinivas

I guess the main reason I really like this shot is that it reminds me so much of my photograph Communication.

RedBubble Art Manager for Windows v1.7.0.0 Released

I've just uploaded a new version of my RedBubble art manager application (this is v1.7.0.0). You can get it from here.

This release makes a change to the work promotion dialog that lets you specify where you want the promotion code to link to. Before it would only link to the normal view page for a work. Now, as an option, you can link directly to the purchase page for the work:

The difference is as follows. If you click on the following image you'll get the normal view page:

whereas with the promotion code set to link to the buy page, you'll get this:

Before anyone asks: no, sorry, I can't have it so that you can specify exactly which product is linked to when going to the buy page.

RedBubble Find: Sidewalk Love by Michael Douglass

Your immediate thought might be that the space should be in front of the woman, not behind. But look closer at the window...

CoolIris with RedBubble's Featured Works

Having started playing with CoolIris yesterday and having had some success, and with the thread that started this all off in the first place in mind, I thought it might be fun to mock up how things might look if RedBubble provided a feed that CoolIris could use.

So, I fired up GNU emacs and knocked out a quick and dirty variation on getrbart that created a "Media RSS" feed for the first 10 pages of the featured pages. The result looks like this:

If you have Cooliris installed in your browser you can see what the result looks like by visiting this page and kicking off CoolIris.

Thanks go to Bobbie for helping to test it.

CoolIris with www.davep.org

Having previously added CoolIris support to my RedBubble wrapper site I decided to go ahead and add it to my main photography site. Because of the way things work over there it took a little more effort but, now, I've got it working:

For those interested in the technical details: I obviously didn't want to create one honking great RSS feed of every photograph on my site, that'd be far too much data moving around all in one go. Thankfully the advanced developer documentation (note: no direct link to the documentation in question — fancy JS tricks are fun for some things but for documentation? Meh!) points out that a feed file can have next and previous links so I could create a feed for each individual album and they could all point to the previous or next albums.

The nice thing about this is when you're viewing an album and you hit the CoolIris button in your toolbar you're taken to the part of the wall that's displaying those images. Then, as you move about, the wall grows in the direction you're moving in, following those previous and next links.

I'm now toying with the idea of adding a MediaRSS feed generator tool to RBArtMan. Extra (X)HTML hacking would be needed to make it all work on people's own sites but it would mean that most of the grunt work would be done for them. I'm not making any promises, it's all down to available time.

RedBubble Find: Cayo Blanco by Colin Tobin

Just the scenery alone works for me with this one — the changing layers of colour. But with the person in there too...

Got my Lisp t-shirt

The postie turned up today with a package from RedBubble. It was my Lisp t-shirt that I ordered a couple or so weeks back:

Here's a photo, with CLtL doing the modelling:
