Flickr is going to have video soon (they already announced this some months ago) . WOOOW!

Ipernity is having this feature ALREADY .. HA! ever since umm... always maybe?

the old dog is becoming lame i sense...

Can any of you Mac-users suggest a cataloging software?

I couldn't find any free one, but installed and tested the trial versions of these three

• Catalog 20$
• Media Catalog 25$
• CDFinder 29,- EUR

I like CDFinder best, cause of its features.
Guess i will buy this one to get rid of my DVD/CD chaos, or at least know how and where to find something in my hundreds of backup DVDs.

Do you know any other tools? I liked WhereIsIt? for Windows but there seems to be no OSX Version.

edit: blogged about testing in german

#334: Forget about the gray

On August 13th, 2006 i joined the "365days project" over at flickr. It was about making a self-portrait every day for a whole year. Yesterday i finished this project- successfully. I didn't miss a single day.

Wow, what a year that was. Ups and downs, i learned so many things about myself and others, about photography, friendship, different countries, emotions, people, life. I joined the project back then because I thought it would be a good way to support my therapy, finding myself, gain some more self-confidence, love of self. And it worked, a little at least, and not always for sure, but it worked. I have grown a lot, i guess i have not yet found myself but i am on a good way. I don't hate myself as much as i did when i started, my downs are really not that bad anymore and i have gained strength, even though the pressure and influences from the outside haven't changed much. I can accept myself a lot more now.

#050: my source of smiles

Never before have i spent so much time dealing with myself and my inside. Never before have i opened to the world, published really really intimate and personal thoughts and emotions. And never again have i seen so much interest. About 90 of my SPs have made it to explore if i remember right. This one was place 3. Never witnessed so much understanding by people i have never seen before. People that seemed to really care, share their own thoughts and communicate via the ways we had. This dialogue and answers, the comments, notes, mails was most important for me all along the way. When i realized that my pictures seemed to help others that are depressive, other bi-polar people it was a very strange feeling but it was also such a motivation and inspiration, cause i need to help people, and feel good when i can help. All this was just possible with the help of your visits, comments, sharing. Pulling me up, laughing with me and even crying. Guess i would have stopped posting after some days if this wouldn't have happend.

It's such a great experience, like a trip to another world, and now i have my sight-seeing pictures in my album. Great memories to build upon. I have made good friends all over the world. Some have sent me presents, HUGE presents, i still don't know how to thank and give back.

mr. shtoopid

Well, even if it has given me loads of energy, it was still a hard job to do. It's not only Point and Shoot, upload and tag. It's a whole progress, some pictures took me up to 8 hours to do, usually without any concept before but creating one while inthe process of shooting, editing, tagging and describing. And since it is so much work, and i need to slow down because i already have too much work and not enough spare time, i will not go on with the SPs on a daily basis. I will continue with the reconstruction of self and share my silly Mr.Shtoopid shots. But i planned on publishing those only when i find the time and feelings to do so. Not sure if there will be any good pictures, cause i need some pressure to be real good - LOL - but i know i MUST go on along with the therapy to find my self. I am not there yet. Please understand, that i will not (not now) join the next group over there ( it's already open for year two ) and i guess i won't join here if there will be groups in a few weeks (unofficial ;-)) ...

• Read more about this here and in every pictures tags and description, comments and titles.
• More reasons and background
• See almost all 365 pictures ( unsorted and incomplete at the moment, filled soon! )

I will pick out some of my own favorites within the next days and put ALL of the others into the album, i didn't manage to copy all of them today but still wanted to publish this post... :)

Thank you! :D

Hugs.

 

 

I just realized that when you upload a zip-file as a normal file (right where you upload images), and not using the "Zip-Archive" uploading method it remains a zip-file. pretty cool for backing up things and sharing not only pictures, videos and soundfiles.

So, this is great, cause why should i use box.net or 4shared anymore now? I feel better around here.

I only hope that the guys will maximize the 1GB monthly limit someday, cause i have a lot more to backup than 1GB when it comes to files not only pictures. ... maybe add upload per email as well. ( sooo many wishes ;-))

And when they will include (passwordprotected or secret-link) sharing of files/pictures/data/albums with NON-members or a specific member (not all friends, or all family), this place is top notch in my eyes concerning sharing and collaboration. I'm still looking for a good place to easily share things with clients and co-workers, partners that i cannot ask to become members of some online service.

 

and released soon, check this: ipernity.com/blog/team/20717

i just love these guys. *clap clap*

something for everybody:

for dotdean: rss feeds for tags, upload via email

for ina : color search (PINK!!!)

for nadine: rotation if videos :)

for me & the rest : groups and replace images

:D
