Not long to go!

And what a fine one it is! Congrats
- Michael Fidler
it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.

What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
You upload a lot more than I do. I have about 40,000 pictures but only about 2000 uploaded. Mostly because I have not gotten around to processing more. =)

Wow and Congrats!!

Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

Ace, I hope not, I'd be so pissed. Actually I think alot of what gets me so upset about all the content/account deletion issues is that I really do worry that it actually will happen to me.

Palm Pre coming to Verizon in January? - PC World - http://www.pcworld.com/article...
Michael Hansel, Daniel Rowley, jbrotherlove and 6 other people liked this
We've already heard reports that the Palm Pre is coming to Verizon. Now it looks like we're getting close to an official launch date. A source "familiar with the situation" between Palm and Verizon says the Pre will be on Verizon's network as of January 2010, according to The Wall Street Journal.
- Leo Laporte
I think if you look at the history of Treo and Centro roll-out schedules, this would be pretty consistent. Palm has established relationships and channels with Sprint, Verizon... and AT&T for that matter... and I'd expect them to stick with that model rather than change things up ala iPhone/AT&T.

Sarah Palin: Letterman owes women an apology - Yahoo! News - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
John D Reasor, Mycaptain, Jeff P. Henderson and 28 other people liked this
"The Alaska governor appeared on NBC's "Today" show Friday, continuing a feud with the CBS "Late Show" funnyman over his joke earlier this week that Palin's daughter got "knocked up" by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York."
- anna sauce
from Bookmarklet
His other references to the controversy were more oblique. When guest Denzel Washington said he would get in trouble with Obama for making a joke about the president's big ears, Letterman clearly had something else on his mind. "You aren't in the kind of trouble I'm in," he said.
- anna sauce
Even when Sarah is right she's K-Klassy about it.
- anna sauce
LETTERMAN DON'T OWE HER A DAMN THING.
- Derrick
So is she going to go after Bristol's boyfriend for statutory rape? Hmmm.
- anna sauce
But I like her black suit here.
- anna sauce
How does her being upset with Letterman over the remark over her daughter turn into Letterman owing all women an apology? Dave and I are fine.
- Trish R
Right after she apologizes to the rest of us for having to put up with her act last year.
- Steven Perez
she owes the American people an apology for allowing the racist xenophobes to use her campaign as an ugly forum-- and never once did she reprimand them. she owes me an apology
- Terence
She owes me an apology. For what? For seeing her picture again on FriendFeed. :P
- AJ Batac
Trish, you're OK with David's comment? As he said himself- it was in poor taste.
- anna sauce
(I cannot believe I'm defending Sarah Palin)
- anna sauce
David Letterman is all about jokes in poor taste. That's pretty much his shtick. Why should he apologize for it?
- Alex Scoble
hasn't her 15 minutes already been used up?
- Harold - Happy 2010
Every time I think we're safe from Caribou Barbie, she comes back. Like a rash.
- Steven Perez
from IM
I think celebrity/political people's kids are off limits. Palin makes poor decisions, is a pitiful person, but leave her daughter out of it.
- anna sauce
I think Dave's comment was in poor taste and he apologized for it. He didn't intend for it to be directed towards the minor daughter. People can only ask that their kids be off limits if they don't trot them out in front of the camera for every press opportunity and use them for political gain. She whored her kids out first and used them during the entire campaign. Everyone knows Letterman tells offensive jokes. Sounds like he needs a better joke writing and research staff.
- Trish R
If you missed all this (as I did) here's Dave's recap/explanation - http://www.cbs.com/late_sh...
- Ken Sheppardson
Sarah Palin, please go back to ruining Alaska and your children and leave the rest of us alone. kthxbai!
- Joe Silence
I said this on another post for the same subject. Palin willingly brought her kids into it. She didn't try to keep her family life private at all and therefore everyone in her family is fair game as far as I'm concerned.
- Kenton
+1 RefD. They LOVE that this happened. Another way to get free press coverage.
- Trish R
+1 Kenton and RefD!
- Adam Turetzky
Yeah I think going on the Today show is over the top. Definitely sucking up to the limelight. Pitiful that it's at her daughter's defense.
- anna sauce
Ken S- wish they would transcribe stuff, can't watch video at this location!
- anna sauce
Anyway, it's Palin's fault for trumpeting "family values" during the campaign while she couldn't keep her own daughter from getting pregnant. It's like the Brady Bunch episode where some snooty lady was so anti-smoking but didn't even realize her own underage son was smoking. :P
- Cheryl Jones
As has been said before, anyone with common sense knows why Letterman made the joke.
- Cheryl Jones
Wonder how many commercials NBC ran of Conan and Jay Leno after their "interview" with Palin. Nothing like jamming up a competitor while pimping your own shows at the same time.
- Steven Perez
from IM
I guess my annoyance with Palin's "outrage" is that clearly the joke is about Palin and her lack of parenting skills, not her daughters. At least that's how I see it, and I think that's how Letterman meant it.
- Cheryl Jones
You know, if I ran into Palin's daughters at some kind of event (random as that would be) I would try to judge them independent of their mother. Give them a fresh chance, etc. Yes, Palin is a lameass to introduce her children to this, but that doesn't make people who take potshots at the kids any more justified.
- anna sauce
danigt. this is such old school crap. "tv personality (who is a comedian) has stepped over the line with me and everyone should be mad at that personality now." sheesh. the folks running her campaign (whoever they are) are so far off the mark that this is just silly. if Palin thinks she can get a net gain from this kind of stuff, she's mistaken. everything i've seen over the last year...

Then don't f*cking wink at me during a *vice presidential debate*, quit tossing your hair, and learn a damn policy position or two. That said, Letterman does not need to be throwing around the word "slutty," which is a charged sexist insult, lobbed since time...

P.S. The kids are off-limits, even if they're 18, and especially if they're teen mothers whose own mother can't get it together to afford the kid an ounce of privacy.
- Ayşe E.
Comedy/Letterman should be off-limits from time to time. If Palin starts flaunting some interpretation of happy family life, she can not stop somebody to swing it a tad further. Imagination should be free, even if it sometimes lands at places that could be misinterpreted by humorless folk.

AJ - She drew more 20,000 in her last speaking engagement (and that is in a NON political season), care to tell me someone else in GOP drawing more? I didn't think so! You might want to come out of your Lib media cocoon!
- Brian
And why don't you guys address what Letterman said? rather than spewing your Palin hatred, don't you get rather board with yourselves? Again, we all KNOW we would never hear the end of it if he had said the same about ANY, that's right, ANY Lib woman!
- Brian
So the truth has a funny way of revealing itself doesn't it? You all don't care about the rights of women or treating them with dignity, you are only concerned with rights of Lib women and treating Lib women with dignity, if the women happens to disagree with you then Have at her, she is fair game, degenerate her, attack her, trash her, abuse her, beat up on her in ANY way possible, don't debate her!
- Brian
I'm sorry, what "right" exactly was abridged here? Palin made her "family values" a centerpiece of her political career. That she is an object of ridicule is her own fault. So what if she draws large crowds for her speeches. She is a platitude spewing, unintelligent, animatronic version of a leader and a politician. If that's the best the Republican party can do, good luck ever seeing the inside of the White House again.
- Kevin Pedraja
Kevin - Do you want the woman to ADVOCATE NON FAMILY VALUES, I mean really, how stupid is that?
- Brian
@Brian: No, I'm not "board" with myself. I don't have a board. As for who draws more. Rush. Newt. Done. Oh and I didn't realize you knew me so well Brian! That you can tell how I would react if someone else was referred to in such a way. The fact is I don't label people Libs or Neocons - but don't trouble yourself with that nuanced type of thought.
- AJ Kohn
AJ - Newt might, Rush is not running for anything is he?
- Brian
AJ - NEOCON is code word for Jew so I am glad you stay away from that, there are a lot of Libs, should not be ashamed of that don't you think?
- Brian
AJ - Your so Nuanced, man I am impressed, such a thinker you are! :-) LOL
- Brian
@Brian: I don't much care if "you're" impressed. I've simply refuted that Palin is the biggest draw (Newt, Rush - and Cheney too) and have stated that I'm not one for labels which only serve to divide a nation that needs to work together.

- Brian
Brian, did you vote for George W Bush?
- Cristo
Brian, you're either deliberately missing the point or you live in a fantasy world. Palin portrayed herself as a paragon of family values and, gee, it turns out her own teenage daughter gets knocked up. Hypocrite much? She deserves the ridicule. And if she can't take a few soft jokes about it, she should get out of politics. I've heard much, much worse about Obama from the right wing lunatic fringe and its self-appointed high priests, like Rush Limbaugh.
- Kevin Pedraja
Kevin - "Palin portrayed herself as a paragon of family values" get out of here! that is BS and you know it!

Kevin - "Hypocrite" Because your daughter got knocked up, what? I mean really!

- Brian
Steven - Kind of hard when your debating 5 Libs at once don't you think! :-)
- Brian
Brian, I'm a Libertarian, and I vote for the candidate, not the party. You might want to look Libertarian up, because just because it starts with LIb, it doesn't mean Liberal.

Brian, let's not test it, because there is no upside for me arguing with you.

While there is some overlap, there are some differences between my Facebook, FriendFeed, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Twitter groups. Some people can only be found on one of the services, and if you want to reach them, you have to go where they are.

I got in contact with my family again after 6 years. Because of one of my nieces finding me on Facebook. It's also the only way to keep in touch with all the backpackers and budget travelers I've come in contact with over the last year.

I still prefer blogs - both reading/contributing to others and working on my own - but I have grown kinda fond of Twitter. And I use LinkedIn, but am very judicious about who I "friend" on that service since it's intended as a professional networking tool. FaceBook is kinda lost on me but my wife likes it...

I've had a facebook account for quite sometime, and I'm still not convinced I totally get it. But just this last week I've been able to reconnect with some friends that I'd lost contact with.

- craterdweller
As I get older, I find more tolerance and appreciation for superficial relationships. As long as they don't encroach upon my reclusive habits too much. My Facebook account gathered cobwebs for almost a year, until I found a new attitude precisely because enough others came on board to make it worth hanging out. It's the perfect venue to stay in touch with people I like in a shallow sort of way, requiring very little expenditure of energy for the amusement I get in return.

I agree totally with louis. While it's nice to have smaller more private areas on twitter and friendfeed (as stated by scoble in the comments section), it's also nice to have somewhere to catch up with my no techy friends. The mass acceptance of facebook along with my fairly selective number of friends means that i can keep up with a number of people who i would otherwise lose track of.

I'm just a ground-pouding grunt. But still: it offends me when Tweets lead to FF which leads to ... you know what I mean. It's a discontinuity. If you don't care *shrug* that explains why I'm sitting here drinking single malt. Oh, no, wait, uhh ...

Good video mind.
- mattpovey
good video, but i'm not sure it hits on the real strength of GoGrid, which is that they have an awesome web-based interface. you can put up a couple of web servers and a database server behind an F5 firewall, from scratch, in about 15 minutes. doing the same thing at Amazon EC2 will take a LOT longer your first time through, and has a much steeper learning curve. (Amazon only added a web-based interface just recently.)
- Karim
the GoGrid service isn't perfect (was still in beta when I tried it), but it was still pretty impressive. if you're going to show a clip of them blasting the hell out of a bunch of servers using machine guns, though, put that at the *beginning* of the video next time :-D

I'm very much a cloud computing advocate but there are questions that I ask and customers ask of me. Where are the datacenter's? There is a lot of concern here about storing data in servers inside of US borders. Saying that of course they also want the shortest path to their systems and data, do globally located data centres are important. Amazon does have, also Rackspace now has a European presence but can't find any detail as to where GoGrid is and what their expansion plans are.

What about bandwidth? It's all very well having your infrastructure in the cloud but users quickly start complaining if you don't have the bandwidth to be able to access the systems at a reasonable rate. The way I have got around this is to use something like terminal services, Citrix or better still XenDesktop but no one is offering these solutions as part of their offerings, you have to build it yourself. Of course if it's web based apps your using, generally it's not a problem. I have many more questions
- Paul Shadwell
Shadwell, I don't think anyone is holding a candle to AWS. They have three zones in NA, one in Europe, and plans for more, I believe. To hedge your bets, companies like Elastra are providing a common interface on top of the various "cloud" offerings. Amazon is actually an investor in Elastra (pretty sure; might be Bezos's VC firm).

I use gogird for my site. It is amazingly easy to setup, but they are missing 2 things that will really make it a good place to run a site. 1.) Load balancer controls (for pulling a server out, upgrading an putting back, right now you have to delete the balancer and setup a new one, this is down time) 2.) Custom images. I had to write code that logs into my new servers and installs all the software I need to run my site (python, et al). What I want is to create a default image and use it over and over.

They've always had that big-breast kind of advertising.

Weird to see people invoke something so lofty as religion and morals, when the issue is simply a matter of mutual respect and good or bad taste.

I blame the hoster for using GoDaddy since they've been doing these kinds of ads for years during the Superbowl.
