Automatic panoramas with hugin and autopano
I’ve only been using hugin for an hour now, and I’m really impressed.
The mac binary doesn’t include the ability to automatically determine how images overlap, but it’s pretty easy to make that work, too.
First download the hugin binary. The Mac OS X port is here.
Then install the autopano binary.
First install MacPorts.
Then run:
sudo port selfupdate sudo port install autopano-sift-c
I had a problem with cmake hanging during install. If port stalls for you, ctrl-c, then sudo port clean cmake ; sudo port install cmake ; sudo port install autopano-sift-c again.
Then tell Hugin where the binary is. Go to Hugin > Preferences… and click the “Autopano” tab, and make it look like this:
Close the preferences window, and the next time you use the “Assistant” tab and load images, you’ll see that the alignment is done for you automatically.
Here’s an example taken from Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon:

How to delete an iPhone application
Click the home button, flick to the page that has the icon of the application or bookmark that you want to remove, and then tap and hold for a second. The application icons will start to wiggle, but they’ll also have a button that is an X inside a circle in the upper left corner. Tap the X to uninstall the application.
Tricks with Safari on the iPhone
If you click the time bar at the top of the screen, safari will quickly scroll to the top of the frame where the location field is, set the focus to the location field, and expose the search field as well.
Double-tapping in safari alternatively zooms into a block of text or zooms back to fit-width-to-page. Two-finger pinch-zoom works too, which can help in filling out forms (like google’s search box).
