The amazing reportage of Jessica Dimmock called The Ninth Floor has been ‘remixed’ into a multimedia project by medistorm. Jessica Dimmock portrays the lives of squatters in an apartment in New York. An amazing piece of work.

I redecorated (more like removed a lot of decoration) my website, looks good now imho.. Really clean and nice. Should somewhat validate with W3C (did not really check yet).

The Adobe Lightroom team seems keep up their productivity and have released a new cool version,

• Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
• Canon PowerShot G9
• Nikon D3
• Nikon D300
• Olympus E-3
• Olympus SP-560 UZ
• Panasonic DMC-L10

Lightroom 1.3 includes corrections for the following issues:

• Writing XMP metadata automatically has been corrected for performance issues
• Printing with the native resolution option enabled no longer sets the wrong dimension for portrait oriented images
• Prior to Camera Raw 4.3 there was the possibility that artifacts in edge transitions could be introduced through the Bayer demosaic and luminance noise reductions algorithms. This has been corrected.
• The Canon sRAW format and the Fuji compressed RAF formats are now supported.
• Lightroom 1.3 includes the following enhancements:
• The import dialog now offers the option to render 1:1 previews as part of the import process
• The export dialog layout has been enhanced
• A Lightroom Preview Export

Speed improvements for Windows and OS X versions have been reported. The official Adobe servers are kinda having a hard time so I provide my mirrors here:
