Adam Fields (work stuff) RSS

This is my blog about work stuff. See this post for discussion of what this blog is about and what I do. I am sometimes (rarely these days) available for consulting work, and always happy to discuss it even if I'm currently very busy. Email me or find me on @fields at twitter or app.net if you need something.

My main focus at the moment is acting as Chief Technologist of Morningside Analytics. We make beautiful maps of the internet, and do segmentation and authority analysis of blogs and social media.

I believe I’ve fixed the MASSIVE slowdown I experienced when moving from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3. There aren’t too many settings to tweak, but I was finding that everything was lagging - opening a new folder would sometimes take minutes, and some operations would just hang completely. But then I realized that there was a setting I’d started using to automatically apply the default develop presets, and I began to suspect that this was causing Lightroom to do a lot of resource-intensive background processing. I configured my preferred defaults as a develop preset so I could get back to them, and reverted the default develop settings to the factory preset. Everything got much faster immediately! We’ll see if it holds. Still, I wish there was a way to force Lightroom to take more RAM.
