JC hit a goldmine with this site that converts any digital photograph to a japanese vintage photo.
Here’s an example taken from this original photo

So I decided to ditch Vista from my PC’s triple boot setup and put OS X in place of it.
Basically what I wanted was to use Aperture on my desktop because it was dog slow on my Macbook Pro.
Now that the installation was a success, it would be perfect for graphics editing in general (Apple always did graphics better… with the exception of graphics performance in gaming)
So now I’ve got 2 XPs (one for work, another for my Digital Audio Workstation), and OS X for heavy duty photo editing via Aperture and probably general use now that I’ve experienced just how fast it is. Read More

How to banish locked files on an HFS network share (OS X)
One problem I experienced with my Time Capsule (TC) is because it’s basically a NAS, you really don’t have true “superuser/root” access to it.
I experienced this problem when I was fiddling with a hack on putting an Aperture Vault on a network share. Aperture by default doesn’t allow you to create a vault in such a location; but you can always move it to one (and point Aperture to it) afterwards.
What you should NOT do however, is remove and delete that vault via Aperture because it will, quite literally, fuck up the file permissions. Even a sudo command cannot vanquish this evil that we have just unwittingly created.
Here’s a description I found on the net which was exactly what I experienced (and I paraphrased it):
… the folder locks, and unlocks whenever the goddamn thing feels like it
So its locked, I go into “get info”, and I deselect the lock checkbox, .5 seconds later, the thing locks it up by itself, and if I get it unlocked if I just click on the folder, it locks up, or the lock will appear, then disappear. I restarted the TC, no hope.
Basically, I have this folder on my TC, that is beyond delete-ability, and plays stupid folder games.
