Re: Picasa vs Flickr

Varsity Photos.net — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:37:26 -0000

Flickr & Picasa are good and I use both, however, SimpleViewer allows you to post your Google ads without hassle or fear of having your account deleted (flickr). Plus at the end of a Picasa slideshow, the big arrow in the viewer takes your viewers away from your site and to your Picasa Webalbum - and there's no code to prevent this:

Can I use this to tunnel through the Chinese Firewall? If so do I need to set up another server outside China?

In your LRU example, there's no timestamp used in the implementation... so, why do you say that we need a timestamp?

Re: Eclipse Ganymede + Subclipse = Unable to load default SVN client???

vwpbl — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:31:46 -0000

This did not directly help me, but it pointed me in the right direction. The RTFM suggestion specifically. I had upgraded to was upgrading to 1.6.10 of subclipse and things were not working. Eclipse was giving me this error message. So I checked the subclipse website as noted above and found I had the correct svn version on my computer. TortoiseSVN was not having any issues. Further checking on the subclipse website resulted in me finding this ( http://subclipse.tigris.org/up... ) advising not to perform 'updates'. so I uninstalled the subclipse plugin and reinstalled and all is well.

Disqus has ability to import existing comments as well as export comments. I didn't lose any comments when I moved to Disqus..Disqus is really good stuff methinks!

Disqus now brings us the ability to comment using your Twitter account. You don’t have to give up your actual Twitter credentials since Disqus takes advantage of Twitter’s support..

Sophia Greenwood — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:12:58 -0000

Disqus is a great tool for those who want a robust commenting tool but aren’t using Content Management Systems with good internal tools built in (so folks who have flat HTML sites, homegrown CMS products, etc.).

Re: Cleaning up iPhoto

Andy — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:32:08 -0000

Here's the bash script I'm using to sync my iPhoto files to my wife's Windows machine. Replace the user:password with a valid one for the Windows machine. Also replace the user names (my user's name is Andy and my wife's, Megan) with your own. Change the Windows computer name as appropriate. My geeky leanings toward Lord of the Rings results in my wife's computer being named "Gimli". My next modification will be to rsync over the videos to the Window's "Videos" folder that iPhoto pulls of my camera as well.

Thanks again for the post!

Hi
I think I'm going to try Aperture and forget iPhoto. There seems to be a whole wave of problems with iPhoto that I can't find answers to. As far as the fixes are concerned they all seem to be overly complicated.
