Change is good but too much change can mess up your backup
I've got this complicated backup routine with my photos that gives me confidence that I have 2-4 copies of each photo. There's the one on the camera (at first), the primary one on the server that files are copied to but never overwritten. Then there is an auto copy to another drive of the entire folder, which does overwrite. Then there is a manual move (not a copy) to a third drive than contains a tiered copy to a block segmented folder which is then diffed with (...)
Questionable interface logic
I've been using ON1 for a few years for processing RAW files. Do I like it? Is this a review? Hmmm.... maybe I'll do this in time. I have sent EMails to them in the past, and they were ignored. For now I'll just say I use it as it's OK, I'm kinda used to it, and it allows you to buy it rather than renting. But moving on....
A recent issue that really bugged me is how it handles the loading of pre-edited photos. I ran into this issue when I loaded the program up to do some editing and (...)
Build a better contact
Ahhh, contact pages. I'll have to make a giant rant about this one day, but for now a small rant will suffice. I've generally tried to have one. Direct EMails are just a spam pit, even today with better spam protection. But many contact pages/forms are not much better and often they get hacked in some way. SinnerComputing still has one and it's generally not mis-used, but at the same time I think people don (...)
Need a bigger day
So yeah, as expected no programming progress was made. Sux really. I did loads of software testing, and made some solid decisions on the future of SiegSpace.com, but even the news is still not fully transferred and I still haven't finished sorting though the photos I've taken. (I'm close; Intrepid Museum, and two locations around Fredericksburg. So maybe three or four batches? Although Intrepid could take a while....) But, (...)
Months of Photo Indecision
I tend to post photos in grouped blocks as it has many advantages. It aids finding photos, makes it harder to keep posting the same subject and obviously it seems more organised. But sometimes you end up with left overs that don't fit in and as a result have a loose group associated to them instead. This happened recently and I ended up with photos from July to September.... and as it happens over that time I was changing the way I process photos. In reality I'm not 100% (...)
Point five
Was talking to someone about a movie and was confused to hear "too many point five shots". I asked and they described what they meant and I said "like a fish eye" and soon after I understood. 'cos of the "0.5" button on phones. Ahhhhh.....
Looking into this the term has been around for at least two years. Sigh.
5000 photos might be too much
My other major obsession is photography. It's why this site is a photo site with news and text features. But anyway I've fallen behind in some site stuff as I went to a Roller Derby and took 5000 photos. Which takes a long time to go through. I learnt a lot due to this so there's no real regrets, but yeah. One of the prices of using features like pre capture. But that's done and I'll be back on the case.
