@Jorence I was using Mozy, but they upped their prices. Lightroom photo folder currently 364GB, too :) And now an 18 megapixel camera *sigh*

via Echofon

@Jorence Mostly because, if my house burned down, that would be the only thing left.

via Echofon

@Jorence I keep my originals on three separate hard disks and upload the best “originals” to Flickr.

via Echofon

@Jorence Never bothered before. Flickr’s a kind of backup of my best stuff, so I just throw the originals up.

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays Hope you like ‘em. Have a cuppa for me :)

via Echofon

@technex There’s certainly a lot of munchies involved, too.

@KaveyF @floyduk If there’s a whip-round, count me in.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@Juggzy Mmmm. Proper good heat, too. I liked it very much.

via Echofon in reply to Juggzy

@Mouse_House Yes. But they’re also pretty damn spectacular when they’re at their best, so we probably shouldn’t shoot them all.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House *_connect_ cause and effect, I meant.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Yes. It’d be nice if we could cause and effect a bit more often when it comes to grumpiness. Odd, innit? Bah.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

It seems… optimistic. Let’s say optimistic.

via Echofon

@Mouse_House Excellent. Let’s be grumpy and unamused with the world. GRRR.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House I know that feeling. I’ve been tired and headachey all day because I went to bed too late. And *now*, I’m awake.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House I think I’d probably fall asleep in any evening meeting. I can fall asleep in 10am meetings after coffee and coke.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@ChinaShopBull Yes; I’ve just never had to think about it before. I don’t generally throw data away if there’s no pressing need.

via Echofon in reply to ChinaShopBull

@rbrwr Either I’m doing something wrong, or that’s not true. Seems to be 10MB based on my current experimentation.

via Echofon in reply to rbrwr

@ChinaShopBull But this strategy may change now my photos are hitting 10MB+ with the new camera. Previously average probably < 4MB.

via Echofon in reply to ChinaShopBull

@ChinaShopBull I treat Flickr as a semi-backup of my best photos, so generally upload original sizes.

via Echofon in reply to ChinaShopBull

Anyway. All up there now. Here are my snaps from the Bristol Flickr Group’s (Slightly Wet) Autumn Walk on Sunday :D flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…

via Echofon

Hrm. Odd. Flickr claims to have a limit of 20MB, but the three photos it didn’t like were all between 10 and 13MB. Something odd going on.

via Echofon

@MandinaM Pro all the way. I suspect my files might have been Really Quite Big.

via Echofon in reply to MandinaM

Well, that’s an unexpected drawback of the new camera. Three photos from that batch were too big for Flickr. What’s the limit, I wonder?

via Echofon

@chrisphin Yet again, I invent a shiny new idea only to find it’s so well-established it’s got a cute name already.

via Echofon in reply to chrisphin

@LouisTrapani It didn’t need to be any simpler, damn it!

via Echofon in reply to LouisTrapani

@LouisTrapani What do you think? Technical reasons, or they were sued by a movie studio? :/

via Echofon in reply to LouisTrapani

@chrisphin Further to our talk of geotagging and “don’t tag my home”, just seen a new feature in Flickr… lockerz.com/s/140495587

via Echofon in reply to chrisphin

@PeteWilliams Twenty for me. I believe the answer to your rhetorical question is “with grim inevitability.”

via Echofon in reply to PeteWilliams

Gah! New @instagram much faster to use, but the Gotham filter seems to be gone?

“Good SEO is a by-product of not being a dick on the internet.” This is very true. @mattgemmell on SEO: mattgemmell.com/2011/09/20/seo…

@Juggzy Given what I’ve just eaten, pretty sure you could sell it to me. lockerz.com/s/140475088

MisterWilliams Students! Announce your return by bellowing every fleeting idiotic thought & walking down the pavement like you’re the fucking Monkees.

@KaveyF “Thank you,” he said, towelling himself vigorously.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

“Home at last,” he said, damply.

ironicsans A big push from Apple to bring professional editors back into the FCPX fold: macw.us/pJMjhC Now with XML support, free trial version…

@HilaryCarden Thank you. Not wishing to leave things too much to chance, I have taken pills and drunk coffee :)

via Echofon in reply to HilaryCarden

umairh Call me a utopian, but If bankers banked, reporters reported, and representatives represented, things would probably be a little better.

via TweetDeck (retweeted on 1:04 PM, Sep 20th, 2011 via Echofon)

Tired, headachey, and at work. Bah.

via Echofon

@emmafurious @nigellegg That is one of the strangest things anyone’s ever said to me.

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

@BlackDogDays It was on Redcliffe Back, just down from Totos.

via Echofon

@m1ke_ellis Still, assuming incompetence rather than choice seems like the best way to apply social pressure here…

@jbirdiebird I read that as Don Keynote
