O2 The Memory Project

Your chance to get inside a piece of photo/video art ! If you are in Edinburgh this weekend (26-27 Apr 08) "pop into" this piece of art ! If not then view the O2 The Memory Project 24 hour x 360 degrees Adobe Flash animation on the web !

It's a very arty/flashy/trendy Adobe Flash presentation and it is not very obvious how to navigate through it !

Here are some tips:
 

• click on a city
• then
  
• move your mouse UP and DOWN to go forwards and back in time
• or
• move your mouse LEFT or RIGHT to rotate through 360 degrees

Create a dynamic flickriver badge (thats uses the Yahoo flickr API) to put on your profile, group, blog or website

or just use flickriver as a viewer for your favorite flickr profiles !

OpenRAW want "camera manufacturers to publicly document their RAW image formats — past, present, and future. The goal of OpenRAW is to encourage image preservation and give creative choice of how images are processed to the creators of the images. To this end, we advocate open documentation of information about the how the raw data is stored and the camera settings selected by the photographer."

http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw

There IS an ANSI C program that attempts to decode any raw image from any digital camera on any computer running any operating system.That program is called dcraw (pronounced "dee-see-raw"), and it's become a standard tool within and without the Open Source world. It's small (about 8000 lines), portable (standard C libraries only), free (both "gratis" and "libre"), and when used skillfully, produces better quality output than the tools provided by the camera vendor.

You know you're a flickrholic when

• you feel guilty about posting photos without tagging them
• you feel guilty about posting photos adding them to relevant groups

fortunately there are a couple of remedies you could try

• allow anyone to add tags to your photos
• hope that group admins invite your photos to their groups
  

If you are not sure what your settings are you can check them at

In case you missed last week media explosion Google have just released Google Street Views simlar to MS maps.live.com

http://news.com.com/Google+Maps+takes+it+to+the+streets/2100-1038_3-6187254.html?tag=ne.gall.related

"That's a relatively benign incident, but it illustrates how easy it is for the technology to threaten an individual's privacy, Bankston said at the Where 2.0 conference here, where Google on Tuesday announced its new street-level map view. Google's feature allows users viewing San Francisco to zoom in close enough to read street signs and even see inside front windows."

Are you confused about secure digital SD memory cards speeds ? As far as I can tell

Type : Speed : X

You can buy SD cards from ByteStor, Crucial, Kingston, Lexar but make sure you check the speed first if you need a particular speed such as 10MB (as my digital camera does) !
