Past two weeks, I spend great time working on slideshow for my older daughter (from baby to recent photos; about 275 of them) – about half of those photos I had to scan all of them and another half are already digital pictures since 1999 – I had Casio digital camera back then.

It is not first time I have done it – I did it recent for my father-in-law slideshow and as well as Christmas. It is a lot of fun. I mentioned it twice on my blog earlier. Take a look: Click here and click here.

Lucky, I have cool EPSON RX700 (multi-functions printer) and it allows me to scan multiple photos. It even automatically crop and split into each file – it make my job much easier. Then we rename them all into new folder and numbers in order; I don’t want to mess with original files. I transferred all of them into my favorite Ultra Nero 6.0 software.

Also, I went ahead and added few mp3 files (song) but I don’t know what she likes. I asked another daughter to help me getting those songs. Lucky she is big ipod/itunes fan.

I put 10 seconds per picture and 2 seconds per “special effects” (random) in between. It ended up total about 45 minutes long on DVD disc. Also, I added 10 minutes video from Graduation Day in it. It works out beautifully.

Everyone at graduation party have good times.

Alan mentioned Firefox myths which catch my attention. For some reason, I saw this website but never check it till now.

Basically, they nailed it.

Not too long ago, I talked with one of guy from Browsehappy.com – I told him they are being biased. It is full of misleading. He got bitch at me for saying that. Whatever.

Now, I feel better that it doesn’t matter which browser you use, just use latest version and you will be fine. Really.
