Sunrise

Sunrise, this morning. Only Linux utilities were used in getting this image from my camera and ready for my website: gphoto (a bit funky, probably became of my camera dock, but it works), gThumb, and Gimp.

Carved bull

I was charmed by this carved bull at the “Royal Ontario Museum”:http://www.rom.on.ca/explore/current.php.

Fotolog

Fotolog has made some changes:

bq. From now on, once a free account posts a photo, they will have 10 minutes to review it, delete and re-upload it if they made a mistake. After that, it will “freeze” – and if they delete it they will NOT recover their upload slot – they will have to wait until the next day for their next upload.

p. Evidently people had been gaming the system to upload more photos than allowed for the free members who are limited to one per day. I have wondered how long this neat service would survive before it fell to the tragedy of the commons, and thought that perhaps they had reached their limit the past few days when I could rarely get a connection.
