Photos that changed the world
Jun 16th
While looking to research the Spanish civil war for my History class I came across the Photos that changed the world site again. While I was only looking for the falling soldier there are just so many of these that I will have to spend a bit of time in class looking at some of the relevant ones to our topics this year. It is amazing how many of these photos are about war and conflict.
Panoman
Oct 12th
During Ulearn Sharon showed off the panoramic photo feature from her new cellphone. The app that allows this works on most symbian phones is Panoman which at $23 is a bit pricey but the results are very cool and surprisingly easy. You simply start the photo and then pan the camera as it stitches up to twelve images together. The version that I have used for this image is the free demo version which only allows two images and puts the logo in the corner but still pretty cool.
Sync Back

Rylee Feeding a Giraffe at Auckland Zoo
In the continuing backup saga. I went away to Auckland in the holidays and while half way to Katikati thought I had left the front door unlocked so to the delight of my family we headed half an hour back to where we came. To of course find the door locked but I digress, I also worried that if someone broke in and stole my computer they might grab the backup drive as well (I’ve seen the TV shows where they chuck everything in a duvet) and thus all our family photos would be gone. So this is a great reason to have an online photo account like Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket or in our case Me. For the backups I will continue to use a mixture of Timemachine and Superduper for backing up your pc I use Syncback from brightsparks which has both a pay and free version and while it isn’t a whole system clone it does a fast efficient job of the users folder.

No I haven’t had a promotion but the new online editor from photoshop is very easy to use and provided you have sufficient bandwidth could be good for students to use at home if they don’t have other alternatives. l guess most of the stuff I did to this picture I’d normally do in iPhoto or at worst Pixelmator (which I cannot rate highly enough for simplicity and price) but I must say it’s all a further progression to the cloud computing we see more and more of.
