Woe to the fucking wicked.

Why would you optimize for the phone and not the damn tablet? Grr

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

they want you to buy their tablets, not iOS ones.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I finally got around to looking at the new Flickr, and holy god I had to get out of there.

So now that Flickr is a hot mess, where are people storing/sharing photos? I have one set of grandparents who aren't on Facebook, so I need something pretty basic that will let me email links to photo sets. Dropbox? Picassa?

Huh, has Picasa been completely absorbed into G+? In which case that's not great for grandparent sharing either.

You can share via link using G+ and anyone with the link can view the photos.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Photobucket is still an option.

Hey. New board.

We use Shutterfly. It's a little confusing because they have basically two interfaces - the one for ordering prints is separate from the one for sharing images digitally. But the shutterfly "share sites" are pretty good for what you need. Basically, you can upload a bajillion pictures (which they allow because they're hoping to convince you to order prints/photobooks/etc, which I actually do recommend - the photobooks, particularly, are nicer than they seem. The one we made ourselves with our wedding pictures is actually nicer to look at than the official album our photographer gave us)

You can see our site here for interest: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was annoying when the drive on my work laptop went a few weeks back, but I've been pretty assiduous about backing up, so there was just the tedium of having the apps reinstalled and thinking about passwords I hadn't had to deal with in a while.

Now the new(ish) hard drive in my desktop is going--some files can't be accessed, and I've backed up what I can get. Since I'm reshuffling NASes I figure I can repurpose one of those drives, maybe.

But I bought a new cage and two new hard drives yesterday, and one of them is reporting errors before I even put data on it.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME OR MY APARTMENT??? Jesus, this is exasperating.

Hey people who know stuff about cars - my door opener thingy has died. Do I need to find a Subaru dealer to replace it, or can I just order one off the interweb? Are they difficult to program? Can I just replace the batteries in the one I have now?
