Converting a Digital Color Photo into Black and White
A tutorial that manages to be simple yet advanced on a subject that is surprisingly complicated. Personally I tend to let Lightroom do the dirty work these days but, and it's a big but, it's important to understand what's happening here. <i>via <a href="http://www.mattmurtaghphotography.com/?p=30">Matt Murtagh</a></i>

Smarter Image Hotlinking Prevention
A friend called today saying her somewhat sexy photos were being used on other sites causing her bandwidth to go through the roof (5 gig so far this month!). Within 10 minutes I'd implemented this system and, while a little crude, it works. Nice one. (Needs a host running php and Apache but, to be honest, if yours doesn't do that you should consider moving.)

Finally got my copy of the new-ish League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book. While a thrilling read on its own this wonderfully anal guide adds depth and plenty of it.
