 As previously announced on this site, Adobe released earlier this week, Lightroom 1.3 as well as Camera Raw 4.3.
At the same time Adobe Labs offers a public prerelease of its Software Development Kit (SDK) Lightroom 1.3 export. This kit allow developers to enable communication with Lightroom 1.3 and 3rd party tools, web sites and devices. More plugins will certainly available soon on Lightroom Exchange site.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3 Export SDK comes with two very useful plugins:
- FTP Export
- Flickr Upload.
Once dowloaded and uncompressed, plugin modules have to be installed on your computer on locations where Lightroom can find and load them.
-
Windows XP: ..\Documents and Users\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
-
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules
-
Windows Vista:..\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
I just quickly tried the Flickr upload module and found it easy to use and indeed very convenient as it avoids to export files on a local folder and then upload them using Flickr Uploader page or tools.
Something tells me that these plugins will become very popular

 The night will be short but Nomadcom.net is know running on the latest version of WordPress.
The installation was straight forward and one of the new WP feature which automatically check if an update of installed plugins is available is definitively quite an improvement.
I got slight problems when during activation of Automattic's Widget plugin (not needed anymore… RTFMF !) and, as usual, with the Tags' cloud.
There are however some minor issues with incompatible plugins but updates should be available shortly.
WordPress version 2.3.1 is available here

 Few years ago, it was Internet over Telephone network but the situation is shifting and we have now, with Internet broadband access, Telephone over the Internet.
With the so called "unify messaging system" all type of communication can reach your email inbox while travelling but in some situation, sending a fax (yes it still exists) while on the move may not be so easy than it seems and even very costly (money and time).
This week, German company PamConsult launched a beta version of PamFax, a Skype Extra (add-ons), which makes possible faxing a document from any Internet broadband connected computer (with Skype software installed and activated).
The process is rather simple :
- Select the document to be sent
- Enter recipient(s) fax number
- Optionally, select a cover page
- Select notification methods : Skype Chat, SMS (0.26 USD) an/or email.
- Pay the fax using Sky Credits
- Optionally, preview it
PamFax comes with its own website where you can configure your default settings, consult logs and check current sending rates
There are 7 different, per page, rates which are currently the following:
Technical requirments:
- Windows 2000 SP4, XP or Vista (32 or 64 bit)
- Internet Explorer 6 or better
- Latest Skype (min. Skype 3.0)
- Installed Skype Plugin Manager
During the beta phase, PamFax is only available to Skype users outside Canada and USA
Every user gets 1 test fax in zone 1 (0.23 USD) for free.

 At 2:56 UTC on July 21st 1969, six hours after landing (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" (audio link) . He was shortly joined by “Buzz” Aldrin saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Magnificent desolation". Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.
The two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module “Columbia,” in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon"

 Since few days now, iMinR is tracking what's going on this website.
This new service of “measurement of personalized audience” as its creator, Stéphane Guérin, indicates it on his Internet site. The iMinR statistics service makes possible to discover more about visitors of a site in general and, as from now on, this one in particular.
Among statistics provided on the free account version of iMinR we can find :
- Visitors (IP address)
- Visits (per hour, per day,)
- Pages viewed (url, title)Pages vues (url & titre)
- Geographical information (Country, Region, City)
- Web Origin (domain and url)
- Search Engine
- Query String
- Keywords
- Incoming and Outgoing points
- Global duration of the visit
- Time duration per page
- Click stream
- Frequent paths
- Client configuration(browser, operating system, resolution, language, etc..)
About the installation, well it's definitively too easy. You either have to add the provided line of code in your footer's page (also available for secured pages) or, if you are using WordPress, to install, activate and configure the iMinr plugin and that's it.
No update, no maintenance and training required. iMinR is adapted to sites using AJAX and the 100% javascript invisible (free account users are requested to add iMinR logo on their web site) marker works with any HTML pages (PHP, ASP, etc..).
Real time reports can be personalized according your needs and are accessible either on a web page; using a javascript function or simply from the iMinR web site.
Today the beta 2 version has been released but so far the interface is exclusively available in French. I have not asked, but the English version should follow no ?
To know more about, check the demonstration page.

 ContentRobot has released earlier last week a WordPress plugin (requires WP 2.2.1) that would allow iPhone visitors to optimally view WordPress blogs. The iWPhone plugin comes with its own theme which will automatically reformats blog’s content for optimized viewing on Apple’s iPhone.
Feature List
- Formats your blog content for optimized viewing on the iPhone.
- Automatically detects the iPhone’s Safari browser and only displays the custom theme to iPhone visitors, other visitors get your standard theme.
- Simple iPhone-like theme with common interface elements that compliments the iPhone’s internal applications.
- Images larger then 300 pixels wide are automatically scaled down to fit the iPhone optimized width.
If you don't own an iPhone, you can review the reformated site using a small application called iPhoney but so far you need to have Mac OS X 10.4.7 (or later) and Safari installed on it as Windows version of iPhoney is not available yet.
Note: As I don't have a MAC nor an iPhone, feedback from iPhone owners about presentation my site would be highly appreciated

 I found an interesting review made by ExtremeTech about some of currently available multi-services Instant Messenger (IM) clients supporting at least all 3 majors IM services (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ). While the option for Mac users is limited to Adium, it exists few Web 2.0 based solutions such meebo and eBuddy and a bunch of classic software for Windows-based computer. Etremetech's prefered choice is the long existing Trillian Pro version (25 USD) but they also speak about PC-World prefered SightSpeed (also for MacOS) and the Swiss Army knife-like Raketu (I plan to test both of them in the coming days).
The list will grow up again with soon release of Orgoo, which aims to integrate email, IM, chat, SMS, and video messaging into one interface.
To sum up the six services in this review roundup, here's a table comparing their features:

 While "everybody" is expecting Apple and its future iPhone (expected in USA by the end of June 07), HTC announced on the 5th of June, after few teasing days, its own touch screen smartphone.
The HTC TouchFlo, a touch screen running on Windows Mobile 6 Professional which according HTC will revolutionize the way you use the touch screen by allowing finger scrolling and panning.
Unlike the Apple iPhone, HTC TouchFlo is already available in UK (Expansys at 520 €) and will be on asian and european shelves later this month. US market will be provided later this year.

 I found yesterday an ad about another product made to shield your face (or at least the face of these "beautiful people")… this make me laugh as I'm not sure how they will convinced large amount of users to apply them.
- The first spray is the"expertise 3P" made by Clarins which protects skin from the ageing effects of Artificial Electromagnetic Waves (sic!). The Magnetic Defense Complex (Rhodiola Rosea + Thermus Thermophillus) – Reinforces skin's resistance to the harmful effects of Artificial Electromagnetic Waves.
Apparently it's a large frequency spectrum product as they do not precise the frequency range which is concerned but it works according Clarins on artificial radio waves…but will certainly not refrain your cellphone to warm your brain cells…as the lotion seems to be done for facial usage only.
- The second spray intends to guarantee your privacy while facing photographer. Blur anti-photography spray and its highly reflective nanoparticles reflect the flashbulbs of peeping and stalking photographers. They blind camera sensors and whiten part of the image.
The description speaks for itself, but I wonder if both can be used together as our friends "The Stars" may become totally addicted to both lotions.
 If not, they may use an older product, widely available and invented more that Century ago which surely protect from both paparazzi and electromagnetic waves. The Aluminium foil
