This weeks photoblog shots

Here are the shots I liked this week on the photoblogs I read, only a handful really, for some or other reason I had some trouble finding ones that really impressed me.
Revenge of The Cranes
moma moments II
Hoop
Coney Island VII
Wet Patio
Tower Bridge at sunset
Quite a few sunset pics this week, but I have to say Revenge of The Cranes is by far my favorite.
So while on the subject of sunsets, here is one I took in Venice, this is obviously photoshopped, I applied a Diffuse Glow to it which is one of the few editing methods that significantly change an imagine that I use, I especially like it on sunsets.

Spotlight hardcoded exclusions

I’ve been trying to play with the new Certificate Assistant that comes with Tiger to set up a CA but had some trouble tracking it down in the System Preferences. So I figured I’d search for it using spotlight but could not find it.
Turns out it is on the drive in /System/Library/CoreServices/Certificate Assistant.app so why did it not show up in Spotlight? Annoyingly I found out that there is a hard coded list of directories that Spotlight will exclude, this include all of /private which contains among others /etc and a whole long list of other stuff that Unix people might actually enjoy being able to find.
If you’d like to override these defaults then read this discussion board entry for all the details.
Spotlight is becoming more a pain than it’s worth, I have considered just turning it off since it seems daily I discover a new way that it is somehow crippled in the name of sparing the poor clueless masses from seeing something they aren’t supposed to see etc.
