Not sure why I would buy this one…
Cool city, cool people.

With a view.
Today I decided to do a quick experiment. I’m on board the business class on a train bound for Göteborg. And as usual I have my trusted Huawei MiFi to give me internet access. With the recent fuzz around Firesheep I decided to do a quick test.
I renamed the SSID on my MiFi to “Free WiFi” and turned off the encryption. Launched Firesheep and waited. After less than fifteen minutes I had a Facebook account that I could log on to. On the status page from the MiFi I could see that I had three computers connected.
After a while I had another Facebook account I could log on to. But I just wanted my point proven. So I decided to stop and change the SSID again. This time I called my network “I will hack you with firesheep”. For some strange kind of reason nobody logged on to that one…
Update:
My headline is not correct. The best WLAN name ever is the last one in this list: Hilarious wifi network names
Brush a red layer on what you want to remove.
When you are satisfied hit “go”. Wait. And:
On this image it kept giving me a message about the fact that the area was too large. So I gave up.

Not completely satisfied, so I select more and get a decent result:

Problem with too large selection. I decided to do it in several steps.
And got this result:
My conclusion after this quick test is that Touch Retouch is easier to use, is faster and gives better results than Photo Fixer.
But Photo Fixer is the new kid on the block and will probably mature as it gets updated etc. So keep an eye on both of them.
Update:
See the comments. One of my requested features is a sort of popup that shows what’s going on under your finger. The people behind TouchRetouch tells me that this is coming in version 2.0 later in November.
…in addition to lots of other improvements:
• 1:1 image viewer;
• Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, Twitter sharing;
• Clone Stamp tool;
• Finger move hint;
• Localized help;
• Application settings;
• Improved algorithm for large pictures;
• Landscape mode;
• EXIF data support.
Looking forward to that. And it’s very nice to see that both developers have contacted me because of this quick review. I’ll keep an eye on both these apps.
And you don’t need much.
This is what i got…
…during my 25 minute walk to work.
All with my iPhone.
And if you’re at the southern hemisphere, get out there and document springtime!
They loved them, but didn’t understand that stupid keychain thing. And removed it so they could play with the figures.
Leaving me with all these:
To make a long story short: I had a small bag of keys from an old Grass Valley image switcher lying in my drawer. And got an idea. Dremel-time:
And ta-daaa:
Of course the keys regarding chroma keying are extra cool as keychains:
…and if you don’t have such keys you can use keys from another keyboard or something else entirely:
So there you are. Trendy and environmentally friendly use of old junk.
