Food Pic of the the Day

All right. Lots of us love to cook. And lots of us like to take pics of our food (even though you're too hip to admit it).

Post 'em if you got 'em. I'll start.

Dinner tonight: the humble hamburger, 225 grams of lovingly hand-crafted goodness (with a couple of really cool tips from Heston Blumenthal):

Leica Summicron-R 35 mm F/2.0

So, I've got a lead on a 1976 version in excellent condition for a great price, but I'm holding back because everything I've read says that the R-EOS adapter mount wouldn't allow for AF on a Canon body (dSLR).

Is this still the case? I may end up getting it anyway just because, but it'd be better for street shooting if I could not have to bother with MF.

Product photography

Hey-ho, photographer types: do you have a name for this style of product shot? Or, at least, a more-or-less uniform way to describe it? I need to put a mood board together, and I want to find the best keywords to use in my search.

Ta ever so.

Munich letterpress

Any locals know of a letterpress print shop in town? I don't fancy having to send my job up to Berlin, or elsewhere.

Cheers!

PHP/Bootstrap active state

So, I'm experimenting with Bootstrap hooked into a PHP site. )I'm not a developer, so keep that in mind.)

The way this site works is that it insert a URL in the nav, which sits in a separate file. In the file itself, it's just the one line of code:

<li class=""><a href="index.php?module={CLASS}" onFocus="if(this.blur)this.blur()">{NAME}</a></li>

Where {CLASS} is the name of the module. The PHP then inserts this line of code into the header.php file as many times as necessary to make up the main navigation.

Problem is, I can't seem to make Bootstrap's active state work for each nav item.

Suggestions?

Open-source project mgmt

Anyone have a good recommendation for open-source/freeware project management apps?

I'm looking for:
- Something that I can install on my own server <-- this is an absolute must
- Separates client data from general user data (in other words, doesn't lump staff in together with clients)
- Can generate cost estimates and invoices
- Gantt charts
- Good file management

In other words a free analogue to Copper Project. Sort of like PHP Collab only, well ... newer, and more relevant to design/advertising.

Kobundo Trick Print

Anyone have experience with this?

http://www.slashgear.com/blackli…

One of my team found out about it the other, and we're crafting an idea for an entertainment client of ours, but I'm wondering if the final product is actually decent quality enough to try and sell to a client.

WebGL questine

So I've got a large-format banner job to do, promoting a microsite on which there's a transparent glass-like plane.

My idea is to have this glass plane fly across the screen on a transparent div with the live site visible behind it ... however, I'd like that live site to look distorted as the glass passes over it.

Possible using WebGL or not?

Anyone else look at the job advert they put up today? This is what got my attention:

'Candidates without twitter accounts need not apply.'

Who the fuck do they think they are? As if it wasn't getting increasingly difficult to guard one's privacy, they're now discriminating against those who try, and don't have a Twitter account.

This really gets my back up.

3GS/iOS5 questine

Right, so I'd like to upgrade my (JBed/unlocked) 3GS to iOS5. Just checked the firmware, and it's baseband 04.26.08 ... will upgrading to iOS5 also change the baseband, or will it stay as-is? I need to SIM unlock this thing, so if upgrading will prevent that, I'll give it a miss.

Thanks, chaps.
