Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

A long time ago, I started a little project to do a simple thing: Automatically rotate Jpeg images based on the EXIF orientation tag that some cameras embed. I also wanted an easy way to adjust the Date & Time of my photos based on a timezone offset. The scenario being: you get on a plane to go somewhere, take a bunch of pictures but forget to change the Date & Time on your camera. Well this fixes that. Then I started to mess around with EXIF information and decided that I wanted to build a Class that essentially wrapped all the EXIF 2.2 tags into a nice object.
Well I think I am ready for a preview release. I created a GDN workspace for the project a while back but I’ve been too busy to finish everything up. In the next few days (maybe this weekend) I’ll make available a preview of JPEG Hammer and PhotoLibrary. I’d love to get some feedback from people on what PhotoLibrary is missing or what could be different. This is the first time I’ve ever designed a class to be re-usable by other folks (I plan on using it in dasBlog for my pending PhotoAlbum feature which is taking me forever to complete).
You can see a list of all Properties, Members of the Photo Class.
