As this is my 100th day on ipernity, I just want to write something, anything. First thing that comes into my mind to write about is a retrospection of what I've written so far. Maybe mixed with a few review elements and some random new thoughts. I apologize in advance for this unstructured post, but sometimes I have to just babble. Random thought 1: I've just discovered "My Network"-->"Latest docs & post"-->"Everyone"-->"Photos". It's a stream of your contacts' docs in size 240. (flickr provi…

Yesterday. Yesterday I changed Preferences --> Originals & Exif --> Members or anonymous visitors from "Nothing special" to "Sharing code (+big size)". In other words: I made the "big size thumbnail" available to everyone. One effect is that the "View all sizes" link in every photo page is now enabled for everyone, so everyone can enlarge to (and download) the 1024 size. One other effect is that the Slideshow with Cooliris now shows 1024-sized instead of only 560-sized images. Why did I do…

I haven't blogged for 14 days (day#21 was last), and I don't think I'll become a regular blogger, but today I have more flickr ipernity comparison stuff on my mind to put somewhere. First: I changed the network activity report from "every day" to "every week" for several reasons: There is no instant notification. It takes up to 24 hours to get the notification about activities on your stream. (On flickr it's about 1-30 minutes) After that long time, it's not urgent enough anymore to deserve a…

I had my third non-anonymous visitor yesterday. Where do they come from? I have no contacts. Nobody has me as a contact. I have the privacy settings on invisible in the ipernity directory. I'm in no group. I never commented. I have visit notification off. Do they come through the tags? I have only 27 public pics so far, and I don't tag much. Bilingual, though. Whatever. Visitors are welcome! I myself didn't surf around much in ipernity yet. But it seems interesting, because in ipernity the…

flickr allows pro members to upload videos of up to 90s length and up to 150 MB in size, but other members can't download the original (and you can't provide them a static link, either). On ipernity anything can be uploaded even to free accounts (including videos) and the originals can be downloaded from the page if either you or the visitor (or both) are pro. You can provide a static link, too. Here's one to download my test video: u1.ipernity.com/9/40/54/3374054.8c37a69f.mov (you have to copy…

I wrote my very first comment on Facebook today. A one of my contacts there was "thanking the US population for the great birthday present" and I commented "The day would be perfect if California's Prop 8 hadn't passed". I became aware of the Prop 8 issue through a blog of a MySpace contact that I usually don't read. I did today, because an SMS from the author woke me up on 5:15 am this morning saying "Yay! Its a great night to be Merkin!". I stayed up and watched McCain's and Obama's speeches.…

Yesterday I uploaded the bat ladybird , because I wanted to use the larva as my member picture. Today I uploaded pillows and me , because I wanted to place a member tag. I also noticed a few more things in comparison to flickr: There are separate archives for blog entries and docs (photos and files). There is, however, a combined tag list. Tag views have numbers in their URLs, so they can't be guessed (on flickr they can). flickr's cool calendar view hasn't been cloned. You can't a…

I created myself an ipernity account today, because I wanted to broaden my horizon. I've used flickr for years, and I wanted to study this flickr clone. At first sight I can see some advantages: a free account has 200 MB upload limit (flickr has 100 MB) a free account has the last 1000 items visible (flickr has 200 items) a free account can have many sets (flickr limits to 3) a free account allows you to download your own originals (flickr doesn't) on ipernity you can download originals…
