In accordance with my other and earlier web presences, I entitled this website “efix:photography”, featuring a nickname that was given to me years ago. I still cherish it, but as this site is no longer just about me, but mostly about what developments in the photographic world I deem interesting and worthwhile reporting on, I decided to subtitle this website, to make its purpose more clear. The new title is

efix:photography – News. Thoughts. Pictures.

And the subtitle is

News from the photographic world. Thoughts on photographic topics. Pictures from my world.

At this occasion I would like to thank all of you who frequently, infrequently or just by chance visit this site, and hope to be able to continue bringing you news, thoughts and pictures also in the future.

REMINDER: By clicking on any link directing you to B&H Photo, and consequently purchasing any product from B&H Photo, you can help me continue with this website, as I get a small percentage for every purchase you make after following a link to B&H from my site. The amount isn’t much, but will help me compensate for the expenses I have with running this site.

WARNING! The latest version 2.1 of Lightbox Plus, the popular WordPress image viewing plugin, does not work satisfactorily with WordPress 3.0!

After just updating from v1.6.something to v2.1, I could neither access my website nor the WordPress admin area. I always got an error message relating to a certain PHP file in the plugin’s installation folder. So I manually migrated back to v2.0 (which has no reported failures according to the plugin’s website), now everything runs as it should again.

Here’s the plugin’s website: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-plus/

After the domain deusex3.com had been online for several years now, showing only a video that didn’t seem to have to do anything with the earlier games, there finally seems to be some process going on. The website now features an all-new trailer which shows how the final game might actually look like, as well as several links, one of which leads to the Eidos Montréal Twitter feed.

The website’s title says “Deux Ex: Coming Soon”. I wonder how soon “soon” is, as everyone’s been waiting for the game for years – even longer than we’ve been waiting for Splinter Cell: Conviction (which will finally be available on April 16, but only for Xbox …)

Also, the trailer looks magnificent – so magnificent in fact that I doubt I will be able to play the final game on my old Athlon XP + Radeon HD 3650 – same as with Splinter Cell: Conviction, I might add (if it’s ever going to be releasen in a PC version, anyway …)

FYI: Deus Ex 3 is the third incarnation of my all-time favourite video game, Deus Ex, developed back in 2000 by Eidos and Ion Storm. The original game combined role-playing, adventure and first-person action with a marvelous sci-fi world-conspiracy story – really one of the best games ever. I’m still playing it.
