Flickr

I got my self a Flickr account. I was told it was easy and fast to upload, and for just $24 a year I could store unlimited amount of images. This sounded great, just what I need. I need backup of all my images, it is probably around 100GB.

It's far from perfect, it needs more features like:

• An upload agent that will retry upload when they fail.
• An upload agent that remember where it was if it crashes or the computer goes down.
• A system for removing, or better merging duplicate images. It should do a search if the image has the same image name and size it is probably the same image. It should show a list of all these for you to check and the merge tags, comments and set membership and finaly remove the duplicate. 
• Better access controll. You should be able to have a list of all images visible for family, or public. And it should be able to grant access to individual people. 

Downhill

When I was younger, half a lifetime ago, I used to go with my parents on Easter vacation. During these vacation we would always go downhill skiing. Next week I'll be going to Chamonix with my company to ski for five days. Naturaly I was a bit nervous about skiing for the first time in 15 years. So I went to the local resort to test my skills. To my delight it was like riding a bike....

I'm realy looking forward to the trip, I'm sure it will be awesome.
