I have SSH access to the my server but found your information useful as the cPanel initiation of a rails app didn't generate the necessary dispatch.fcgi files. I was stuck banging my head against the wall for about five hours before finding your post. I then generated the files and viola! I sent them a bug report and would like to thank you for the time you took to write this article. cheers! Doug thanks for this post.

I have spent a number of years working on an image that I took in 1989 when the bErloin Wall came down. I took 70 contiguous 35mm film frames of some grafftti on the wall as I sidestepped along the wall. I have assembled the images into a 330,000 pixel by an average of 3500 pixel horizontal panorama. Uncompressed tif the image is around 4.5 GB in size. I had some horizon creep up anb down but stayed a constant distance from the wall. The color balance trends a bit as I did it back in Photoshop 1 and worked from left to right andf matched as I went. DO you know what softwatre could handle such a task as I would like to redo the image letting the computer handle the stitching and compare the results to see which is best. Thanks, Douglas Nicolaisen Hi,

I see you have the same camera as me (G7) and use Hugin. I cannot figure out what focal length and focal length multiplier to use. Which do you use when you have zoomed all the way out? I tried 7.4 mm and x4.7 but doesn't yield good panoramas at all. Hi Jaysen. I see you have the same camera as me (G7) and use Hugin.

Specifically it doesn’t display favicons on mac (firefox doesn’t do toolbar favicons on mac by default) and doesn’t offer the ability to hide toolbar labels (which take up space). Luckily Firefox is highly customizable so I’ve managed to put together a simple Firefox extension which overrides these design decisions. Behold: my Delicious Bookmarks Toolbar extension.

I had meant to start with "most lay-people" instead of "most people". I've fixed that now @simon
