We're having a busy week here at silverorange. Today we pushed live a beta version of our new photo gallery software, Pinhole (latest build will be released shortly). As an early adopter/guinea pig I've switched my personal gallery over. We've gone from a completely closed source category based system to a completely open source tag based system. Feel free to try it out for yourself. Naturally it's built on top of swat.

It's going to be a little rough around the edges for the next little while as we polish it. Photo comments will come along soon as will some other nice features. You'll notice that the "tags" in my gallery really aren't great. This is a side-effect of switching from a category based system to a tag based system. I'll be working back through the thousands of photos in the next few months to clean this up.

Let us know what you think and please feel free to try it out or get involved with the development!

We launched another e-commerce site this afternoon. Uppermost Awards is a top-notch UK based awards company specializing in engraving. If you happen to need some trophies or awards please head on over.

Today the local CBC website posted a news story about a loaf of bread that has been fresh for eight months... I'm not sure as to whether I'm happy that we don't have enough bad news to fill up the day or sad that this makes the news here... Either way the world should know about this amazing loaf of bread! Digg this!

The word just hit the information-super-highway: silverorange is looking for a new designer (again).

This time we are looking for someone who lives in PEI (and would work in Charlottetown) or someone who would be willing to move to Charlottetown.

This position will become a full-time salaried position after our usual cautious probationary period.

If you have an eye for design, love the web, and want to work in Charlottetown this might be a good fit for you.

As seen on the streets of Chicago. I hope the person who owns the car gets a nice box of chocolates.

silverorange is hiring once again. This time around we're looking for someone who has an interest in managing the systems behind the web systems we build. You'll be in charge of running, installing, and managing our servers, managing our network (both server side and workstation side), and doing many things hardware related. You'll also get a free cell phone! (so the servers can message you at 2am about a problem).

If you're interested please check out the full job description and send us an email. Don't call.

So your Wii-mote gyroscopes stopped working? Nintendo told us to give it a good spanking. Turns out it worked. We had to spank ours quite hard. My hand actually hurts from the spanking.

Instructions: Hold the Wii-mote with buttons down on your palm. Spank with the palm of your opposite hand. Spank firmly.

Peter Rukavina had an interesting encounter with Tim Banks, celebrity Charlottetown property developer & owner of the APM Group, this weekend. Peter has posted a full account of the incident on his weblog.

Apparently the blog post at the center of this altercation was Peter posting a photo of Tim's Porsche SUV parked in a no parking zone during a public city meeting.
