With twitter being down today, and all that extra time that will provide me, I will post new photographs every hour until Twitter comes back up. May be 1 to 5 pics….dunno.

I have an incredible backlog of pictures that need processing and sharing…so what better time?

Follow my photos at Flickr

Wow, this ought to be interesting. Having something like web statistics for who is viewing photos, and from where on Flickr. Pretty Cool. You have to activate the feature, and it is only for PRO accounts.

Flickr Add Stats to Pro Accounts

I know a lot of you are Flickr users - so you might be interested to see that they’ve added a new feature today - Flickr Stats which gives you a nice overview of how many people have been viewing your images.

I wish away my summers for what is probably my favorite time of the year. I love the change in the weather, the holidays, and the colors that it brings.

Hey Guys! We’ve made our way from San Francisco all the way down to Ontario, California, but we didn’t leave before having a ball there. On Tuesday, September 25th, we met up with Martin Mckeay and Tom Pose at the 21st amendment. Martin we had met previously at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, and Tom was a pleasure to meet for the first time.

A little while later that night Thomas Hawk and some other photographers that hang out over at Zooomr met up with us to go out on a photowalk. That was a lot o fun! We walked and shot pictures for quite a while. I got to see a side of San Francisco that I hadn’t seen before which is great, and what I think photography is all about. Seeing things from a different perspective. You can view my pictures here, and the groups photos here.

Anyway, Tonight is the live show! (Wish us luck) at the Marriott in Ontario, California! See you there, hopefully.

This is quite cool. I am jonesing for a D300 now, thanks to Kevin Devin for making me think about it. Here is a piece from C|NET showing off the “guts” of the new Nikon D3 and D300. Interesting to see the skeleton in particular.

Nikon’s D3 and D300 SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras, announced Wednesday, are complicated and expensive beasts, so few people outside a repair center or Canon’s competitive intelligence unit are going to be cracking them open.

Zooomr, the photo sharing website, has expanded the Discover feature of the site. Discover shows you what pictures are uploaded with in certain time periods from everyone, your friends, or your contacts in order of Awesomeness*. Previously it was limited to 20 images…Now you can view up to 100 in Discover by click in on the column headers. Very impressive, and easy to see what is going on! Check it out!

* Awesomness is an algorithm looking at 28 different criteria of a photo to determine the most interesting photos.

Went doing a little photowalking at lunch in downtown Charlotte. The heat today was making me question that decision….I had fun non-the-less.

Here it is after 13 days, lots of frustration, help from generous companies like Sun, Zoho, and Dell, support from the community and friends of theirs, and sleepless nights …It is here!

I like so many others have been following this effort to what was at first just a site upgrade, that turned into a FULL infrastructure overhaul has been fun, and at times frustrating (in the sense lots of us couldn’t help), to watch. Maybe Kris and Thomas can finally get some rest….after all the bugs are squashed.

Go and make yourself an account and share some photos!

 
Well yesterday was in some ways a disater…and others not so much.

Zooomr had gotten a much need help up from Zoho, with the donation of some server room space, and from Sun Micro for the loaner server, a x4500 Thumper. Well, in an effort to get the new server online, another problem became apparent. The server needed 220v and the server rooom is wired for 110v. Well, that would be a problem.

Kristopher and Tim from Sun who personally delivered the server hung with it for most of the Day on Friday and the previous night. After some exhaustion, and I believe a lack of some focus, things seem to fall apart. Kris was understandably tired and punchy left the data center and went to the Technorati offices, Thomas Hawk was elsewhere, and users (who have been following everything on uStream for the whole 12 days so far) were getting a little frustrated for lack of information.

…and with that lack of information and frustration lead the community to create a wiki with some bullet items and information of what is going on. Additionally, Kevin Devin and I were talking on the side about what we could do, an idea popped in our heads. Why are they creating a wiki on wikidot and not on Zoho. So after I mentioned it in the chat room, and before I could do it myself, everyone loved that idea and shortly moved it over to here. (I have to mention that I like the Zoho Wiki very much)

Well, last night Robert Scoble stepped in and drove Kris back to the data center and it looks like him just showing up gave Kris a much needed shot in the arm. After a night of work, once again, it looks as though things are ready to rock and to quote Robert, “flick will be switched” on Saturday.
