Over at Adobe Labs there was an announcement yesterday detailing the immediate release of the new RC2.1 (release candidate) for Lightroom to the community. They feel it is stable enough but it could use some more testing by the community.

This update fixes some issues I was having with Lightroom (I didn’t blog about them because they were well known).

• Memory leaks in the Library and Develop modules decreased Lightroom performance.
• Folder synchronizing could experience significant performance decreases.

Read more about this release over at the Adobe Labs page.

For those of you who don’t know it yet: yesterday was talk like a Pirate day. Arrrrrr!!!

You better “Find yer inner pirate” over at http://talklikeapirate.com/. However, remember this mates, I’m the Cap’n of this blog. ARRRRRR!!!!

You are The Cap’n!

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man – or woman – you couldn’t eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You’re mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that’s his problem, now isn’t? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones’ locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed – a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

I received some mail and comments today that my downloads were giving a dreadful 404 Not Found error. This has led to a wild goose hunt for several hours trying to determine the source of the problem. Finally I was able to track things down. For some mysterious reason a .htaccess file has been removed, leading to some unexpected results. After restoring the very basic version of the file the downloads started working again.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

I’ve updated two Pixelpost addons today. The first addon I updated is the Clickable Tags Addon. Thanks to Jay Williams (visit his photoblog) the code has been cleaned up a bit and the Javascript has been updated.

The second update concerns the Entrypage addon. The update includes the possibility to set additional URL parameters. This might come in handy if you would like to redirect your visitors to a paged archive.

Enjoy!
