@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team

if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

Joe Perrin and Josh Bancroft liked this
This is very sweet - I found it last night trying to figure out what all the police action in the area was (they were down last night, so no dice). You can get updates on EMS/fire calls from their Twitter account: @WashCo_FireMed. We need more hyperlocal mashups like this! :-)
- Josh Bancroft
from iPhone
Hey Josh, a buddy and I run the @pdxalerts account on twitter. We post police and fire incidents in the Portland Metro Area. Check it out: http://www.twitter.com/pdxaler... Oh, and BTW the @WashCo_FireMed twitter account isn't official. It was created by screen scraping the Joint CAD Incident Tracking System data and outputting it using Twitterfeed.
- Joe Perrin
I run the @WashCo_FireMed Twitter feed. It's actually a custom php script that I run and host, not a screen scrape and Twitterfeed :) I'm looking for more online dispatch systems that I can set this up for.

This is a link to Scott's blog. It's not so much an explanation but an announcement he was taking a break from MacBreak Weekly. I would also love to know what happened. http://scottbourne.com/post...
- Charles LePage
This week's MacBreak Weekly was a bit content light. While I still love hearing the wide-ranging discussion, this week's pointed NDA limited discussion was less interesting than it has been in the past when such limits were not in place. Granted, August is frequently content light and we know that there is particular news coming in the next two weeks (part of which is what can't be spoken about). What can we do?
- JR Holmes
@Joe Perrin Maybe This Week in Phones with the acknowedgement that much of it will deal with the iPhone but also include coverage of interest regarding Android, Blackberry and other smartphones. There is lots going on in the field.
- JR Holmes
I would definately subscribe to a this week in phones excellent idea
- Peter Wilson
What we need to do then is suggest some members of a panel for This Week in Phones. Any suggestions?
- JR Holmes
Scott Bourne is working on some projects and has to take a temporary leave from the podcast. They mentioned it a couple weeks ago but maybe only on the live view. MacBreak is one of my favorite podcasts and the timing of it is perfect. I can listen to the live show at work and still get work done...a little bit of work but enough to get by.

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.
- Thomas Hawk
When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you.
- Russellreno
That is a great photo
- Darin aka iGoByDoc
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
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
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.

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats.

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. Flickr staff hates me and they'd *love* to delete my account. I worry that I'll wake up one morning and everything will have been nuked. I suppose that's why I'd like to see them enact the ability to...

@Chris Gulker. Someday I hope to work with a photo editor. God knows I need to. I like to think of my Flickrstream today more as the raw material in a lot of ways for future projects. A good photo editor adds tremendous value to shaping a photographer's imagery.

Flickr released a new desktop bulk uploader yesterday. For people having recent problems with photos not uploading in order, double uploading, etc. You might want to try this latest version.

they finally fixed that? thank GOD.
- holly
Not sure if it's fixed or not, but it's probably worth downloading the new uploader and checking it out.
- Thomas Hawk
Downloading as I type, thanks for the notice, Thomas.
- Kol Tregaskes
crossing my fingers that it's fixed. I will download when I get home tonight and try.

Oh, wonderful. I've been having a lot of problems with the last version.

Thanks for the heads up.
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Thanks. I've been having so many problems with the old uploader.
- Nick Humphries
I have no idea if this fixes much by the way. I just saw that they updated the bulk uploader yesterday and posted it here because I'm hopeful that it addresses some of the problems that the old uploader seemed to be having.

Are there any solutions that allow me to download my entire photostream so I can back it up? An anti-bulk uploader if you will.

Nah, David, I don't think that this will kill the 3rd party apps. I don't know actually that this upgrade really is any big deal except that it may improve some of the specific sorting and double posting problems that the uploader's been having in more recent versions.

My protest-art has the words "Summertownsun sucks". I put this artwork up in protest of Summertownsun complaining that i was infringing on their copyrighted work. They said I was posting images that they own. So flickr removed the images. But the images are actually in the public domain. So I protested Summertownsun's actions by creating a piece of artwork and posting it on Flickr.

Flickr seem to take stuff down if there is a protest, rather than review the situation and see whether it needs to be taken down or not. It seems like a case of the person at Flickr who's job it is to review this stuff is lazy, and isn't doing their job properly.
- Chris Nixon
Yeah, Flickr really sucks on that. But I tried the same. What should I do? Everything works with Flickr. Mobile, Social Tools, everything. Picasa might be the only competition, but with only 1 GB for Free and only 10GB for 20 Bucks... no way. If there was a plan like Flickr for $25 unlimited photos and bandwith, I would switch.

Usual problem. If they are seen to use brains and check the content. Rather than just act in dmcas they risk safe harbour.
- Phill Price
Phill, even there the answer is simple, mark the photo private. Send the user a note. Give them an opportunity to counter, look at the evidence and make a decision. At least in the second instance though it seems like the photo is not the issue from Flickr's message but that they feel that saying a company sucks = harassment.

I could get behind Flickr's Nazi practices, if they gave you an opportunity to at least retrieve your stuff before they killed your account. "You are in violation, this account has had public viewing disabled, and will be destroyed in 72 hours."
- Matthew DeVries
It might not be about the sucks comment, but possibly more the 'Rat Bastards' one. I still don't agree with the censoring, just not sure it is about the sucks comment.
- Travis Koger
maybe Travis. I guess I think that Flickr also ought to allow the phrase "rat bastard," and other similar terms.
- Thomas Hawk
My biggest gripe about their censoring is that it is pick and choose for them. They will gladly allow a popular member to break the TOS, but kill off others that might not be so popular... in their eyes. Sheharazade (??) is a perfect example. Saying that some of her pictures were not her own was a joke when they clearly allow more popular... read more 'public' members... to have photos by other photographers in their stream. Moving goal posts comes to mind.
- Travis Koger
I hope Flickr is listening... I just got a pro account, mainly because it works with everything (as mentioned above). Have folks tried Picassa?
- Jason
I've been putting off buying a Flickr Pro account because for me I haven't really noticed the benefits of being on it. The more of this that goes on, the less I want to give them my money.
- Kenton
Does the Flickr policy mention image content standards?
- Douglas Hopkins
This is part of the problem Douglas, Flickr's standards are very vague and not applied uniformly. A while back Stewart Butterfield said that an image of mine ought to be deleted because posting screengrabs "was not what flickr was about." And yet at the time I pointed out that Cal Henderson's (who works for flickr) account was full of WOW screengrabs. Inconsistencies abound with Flickr's censorship. If they are going to enforce content policies they ought to be universal.
- Thomas Hawk
Similary a few weeks ago Flickr without warning deleted Shéhérazade's account because they said she had photos in her stream not taken by her (she was the model in the photos and said she had permission) yet Flickr's Community Manager Heather Champ has photos in her stream not taken by her. Double standards and uneven application of censorship sucks.
- Thomas Hawk
Interesting sidenote. CoolIris (PicLens) completely bypasses the sign in requirement for 'borderline' content.

To properly back up you need three copies. One on your local drive in case something gets corrupted. One on an external hard drive or other media in case your hard drive dies. One on an external hard drive or other media or storage service that you store someplace else in case your house or office burns down.

Dropbox. Three separate laptops and their Web service.

Forget the external hdd in some other location, and just back up to that webspace you have that you never use, or maybe cloud-based backup.
- Shivanand Velmurugan
For a local backup I run Time Machine on my iMac to an external drive. I also have a remote backup in the cloud using Backblaze. In addition I use DotMac and Mesh for sharing files among different computers.
- Jonathon
Here's mine: The original copy, one stored using Time Machine, one copy on a network storage device (ReadyNAS) using RAID and one copy at an off-site backup location. Works well and I've got my backup scripts running constantly. EDIT: I also use Dropbox for my documents.

Around midnight I received a weird 'file access error', so I spent the first 90 minutes of 2009 running fsck on my MacBook Pro, then went to bed. First task on waking up? Time Machine (whole system) plus Mozy (home directory). Sadly, using the network support to back up with Time Machine to a disk on my Airport Extreme failed horribly when I tried it, so I'm down to Mozy (over the Internet) and Time Machine to a directly-connected USB drive.
- James
Simple enough - internal drives backup nightly to external drives. The backup copy of my system drive is boot-able. I need to add the off-site factor to this setup. SuperDuper! is my backup software.

I agree the dropbox solution works well for me except for photos and video. In that case I have main HD, backup HD an HD I try to keep off site. If all else fails I have high res jpegs on flickr.

I have one of the unibody Aluminum Macbooks with a 120GB SSD drive onboard. I plug this into 2 x 500GB USB disks when I'm at work. One of these is a Time Machine backup. The other has manually driven Carbon Copy Cloner backups. Done when I remember. Probably once a month. I also have a small mini-NAS on my work network which Apple Backup does an incremental network backup to once a day. At home I've got another small mini-NAS which I do the same. Also do a weekly backup to Amazon S3 using JungleDisk.

Each of our pcs has an external hd, an internal backup drive, and we have a backup server. We back up to the internal b/u drive, sync it to the external, then to the b/u server. It may sound like overkill, but we manage a TON of mission-critical data. Websites get backed up daily to the backup server and to off-site FTP.

- Todd Hoff
Mirrored NAS 500GB each, plus portable HDD... cloud coming soon! Evaluating Amazon vs. Mozy - thoughts??
- Susan Beebe
I agree that it feels good to be backed up. I use duplicate external HD for my photos, and SmugVault (Amazon S3) for offsite. Uploading photos to SmugVault is a pain - it is very slow - but it works. Of course, if you forget to pay Amazon, you lose your backup. Backing up current pix to SmugVault is no problem, but I have a 1.5TB backlog. I tried DVD offsite, but they don't last very long.

I use Second Copy 7 for automated backups. It automatically sends backup copies to two other systems on the LAN and one off-site backup via FTP on a remote server. It also makes periodic copies to a potable drive that is sent to an off-site location. Frequently changed documents are copied every two hours, others are copied every day or once a week depending on importance.

Media is stored online. Important docs are on an external HD and back up Gmails.

I run time machine on my Macbook Pro at the office, take the macbook home, time machine drive stays here for offsite.

Server to local using SyncBack SE, then Carbonite copies the local data off site.
- Michael Krigsman
Virtually everyone who chimed in on this thread is a techie. Think for a moment about the typical consumer. There are no easy solutions. Larger hard drives make it easier to accumulate tons of docs, photos, music, and videos. Hard drives last a few years (and what data is there on reliability of drives that haven't spun up for years?). DVD-R and CD-R are probably only good for a few years (and of course are tiny relative to the data sizes we're talking about). Solid state still has a high cost per gigabyte.
- LogEx
Online backup is useful, but will the company be around in 3 years? 5 years 10 years? What about the privacy of your documents? Break up your data into chunks and upload encrypted files? Also, consider how fragmented data is for many consumers... multiple computers, gaming consoles, mobile devices, etc.
- LogEx
Mozy is in the cloud, backed by EMC, pretty simple to use (even for non-techies) and pretty cheap. Great support when you chat or call in.
- Lee Herman
@Logical Extremes - your comments are definitely spot-on for Windows users. I think the Mac has a great built-in (and easy to use) solution. While Time Machine may not be configurable enough for us geeks, it's a real winner for trouble-free unattended backups. Very easy to swap disks too for taking them off site.
- Lon Seidman
@Logical I see that a lot of non-techies are using external HDDs. They're pretty easy, but yeah, nothing lasts forever.

I've been using mozy.com for over a year now for pictures, personal files etc and it works well. I'm kind of a techie (a CTO @ ADP.COM), but, consider myself a consumer when it comes to my home stuff (has to be easy, wife doesn't have to think about it etc). I've recently started using Live Mesh to push files across all of my home devices as well which is great (esp. for one note,...

Every copy of data you put onto S3 is replicated (within and across data centers) so it's highly durable. It's where all my important data goes (through Jungledisk) and has been for a long time (disclaimer: I work there now, but was a user long before). Hard drives at home (a few TBs) are for things I look at every day and for sample libraries :)

Right, I know there are tons of components to an overall strategy out there, but for the masses, they're lucky if they have an automatic on-site backup like Time Machine. My point is that computers aren't like a file drawer or an appliance. Good backup today requires a good strategy and a combination of tools, and most consumers aren't up to it.
- LogEx
The points raised by Logical Extremes are the same reasons I have not signed up with an online backup company. How do I know they'll still be here in 10 years, and how do I know I can trust them with my data?
- Tom Harrison
Quite true @Logical Extremes--We all learn the importance of back-ups the same way: we suffer a data loss. Somethings I have backed up to DVD or another computer or "in the cloud" some projects live on in the "oral tradition" where I simply describe how great this thing is to someone else--an if it's lost--it's legend lives on...(silly)...

External hard drive is 1. Mozy is 2. Mesh.com for extra important stuff is 3. Skydrive for paranoia
- Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)
The other issue that hasn't been mentioned is data obsolescence. Us techies can handle it if we plan for it, but as applications and data file formats get older, more and more files become unreadable for most folks. How many of you have old files that you don't have a reader app for anymore? I always encourage people to choose the simplest, most prevalent, and most open data format for a given application. ".txt" rules!
- LogEx
And I hope that people rank highly the availability of simple, open format, file export capabilities, when choosing which services will house their data (backup, social, etc.).
- LogEx
Re the trust issues with online backup, I think you have to go with a bigger player / name (like EMC owning mozy.com), that was my reasoning at least
- Richard Anderson
Microsoft Mesh to sync across all machines, backup (using Syncbackup) of one primary to network attached storage, and Jungledisk to Amazon S2 as well for off-site + periodic checkpoint copies to external disks. I am a fan of backup software that stores the backup as individual files.
- Ian D. Nock
Windows Vista Backup to 2 external drives at 2 locations + burning to DVDs. All long-term backups are regularly re-hashed and checked to make sure they can still be read. In addition, most of my backups contain a copy of an entire computer so all the programs are there.

SuperDuper! plus selective JungleDisk for Mac. unison to server at school for laptop. SmugMug for photos.
- Emil Sit
I'm beginning to think I should try online backup for offsite backups of my personal data. Has anyone used both BackBlaze and Mozy.com? How do they compare? Would anyone recommend another service at a similar price point? ($5/mo, unlimited)
- Mike English
Roberto: Also look at Mozy Home -- It is also 5$/month unlimited.
- Robert Miller
Different kind of workflow, also for @LogicalExtreme's non-techies: Keep an Outbox folder on every machine. Store pretty much every document you can there. Copy Outbox(es) to USB drive every week or so. Keep the USB drive in your car or on keychain. It's not a full-state backup, but 98% of computer state is not life-critical. Emergencies are rare and it takes less than a week to rebuild computer state.
- Christopher Galtenberg
(Can also have VitalNonPrivate and VitalPrivate folders in Outbox - zip and email both to yourself, the latter with encryption -- that's your 'cloud backup')
- Christopher Galtenberg
Just spent a few days sorting my backups out. Now have 1) machine image (Vista Ulitmate backup could use Acronis or Ghost) which will only be updated occassionally - on an external drive, 2) system image and incremental (updated monthly) on a protected local partition using Acronis 3) daily incremental backup of user data areas using Acronis on external drive and 4) daily copy of user data areas on an external server using Mozy - easy set up, good price, unlimited capacity. Can't be too careful!

I love my ReadyNas (http://www.readynas.com/) and have already failed over from a bad disk. Killer timing on this thread; getting ready to rsync to the cloud...
- Jeff Malek
Currently Local system RAID 1....soon adding backup to NAS (also RAID1) & using an Offline backup service like Dropbox or other AWS hosted service.
- Mark Krynsky
FWIW, http://journalspace.com/this_is... <-- this is a huge reason why RAID =/= backup. RAID = availability, Backup = recoverability.

Carbonite. I just lost all data on my laptop a week ago. Restored my mission critical files immediately (after reinstalling Windows), then restored everything else over the next few days. There is no need to personally maintain three copies when you're using an online system with it's own redundancy such as Carbonite.
- John Morley
Web-based backup -- Carbonite, Mozy or Jungledisk with Amazon S3 work nicely. I've shared John Morley's experience.
- Sean McBride
I'm seeing Carbonite, Mozy and Jungledisk regularly mentioned... anyone care to chime in on why one versus the other?
- Sean Katona
Sean Katona: I prefer Jungledisk with Amazon S3 to Carbonite and Mozy, because of price, user interface and reliability. You might want to try all three to judge for yourself.
- Sean McBride
I used Jungledisk and switched to Carbonite because it backs up everything automatically as it changes and I don't have to worry about it at all.
- Todd Hoff
I haven't tried Jungledisk or Mozy. Carbonite is great for me because it's seamless... you just don't ever have to worry about it. If it's not backing up properly it will tell you. If you have any files over 4gig that you want backed up though, you do have to manually tell Carbonite to keep those backed up or else they'll be skipped.
- John Morley
I back up my important files on a back-up server then I back-up the back-up twice on tapes: One copy in my office, the other in my wife's office.
- Charles Nadeau
I've found backing up to be far less important than it used to be - almost everything I have is in the cloud. Code is in version control hosted offsite and backed up, documents are in google docs, email's in gmail, photos are in flickr, not much else left to back up.
- Parand
I've implemented a tiered system with numerous local snapshots (Time Machine, in my case), and automatic remote sync (Jungledisk). Details and overall considerations for any backup strategy here: http://tr.im/2v7b
- Phil
IDrive is one of the better solutions. It is faster for backups and restores compared to other services, and easy to use. But nothing beats a local drive based backup. Online Backup services are simply too slow.
- Kitu Gidwani
Some people might find Adam Tow's strategy interesting: http://www.tow.com/2008...
- Joe Perrin
Someone needs to come up with software that lets you backup to a USB drive stored at your friend's house. You backup to the drive, take it to his house and plug it in, then do incrementals over the web. Encrypt everything. You do the same for him.
- Dom
I just back up things to an external hard drive. And I refuse to back up to the cloud as I can't trust something that isn't under my control.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I use Acronis to back up an image to my FreeBSD box with ZFS. (Sorry Scoble, they're western digital drives :). Then, I also use rsync.net (lots of space for cheap), and - you guessed it - rsync the important files (documents, pictures, etc) to the cloud.
- David Andrzejewski
I've been using Mozy and have recently been trying Syncplicity [http://www.syncplicity.com]. I don't know if I can justify the $10/mo for 50GB, though. The benefit to Syncplicity for me is that it's near real-time sync with unlimited computers.

I love Tweetdeck. However, 1. it is a bit of a CPU hog, and 2. it takes up a fair chunk of screen estate. Having said that, I have Tweetdeck/GMail/Friendfeed/IRC/Skype open on a secondary machine, so it doesn't slow my main machine down, and doesn't distract me so much, as the screen is off to one side, and I don't get pop ups on the main monitors.

I easily control all my Friendfeed and Twitter feeds (and many hundreds more) under a few dozen well-organized folders with Google Reader. GR provides enormous leverage over a huge flood of news and information. I've tried every feed manager out there, and so far none of them have come close to GR for me. But you need to know what you are doing to extract maximum benefits from using GR in this way. TweetDeck struck me as a conspicuous waste of time -- extremely inefficient.

They seem to blame a lot of drop on gang and drug territory related killings. I wonder if drug killings would go down if gangsters didn't have drug territories to defend anymore.

John, exactly, this is why the War on Drugs is a horrible waste of resources. $12 million spent prosecuting Tommy Chong for mailing bongs to PA, while kids on the streets of Oakland are dying every week and millions of dollars going into the coffers of organized crime every year. And yet there seems like zero momentum for our society to do anything about it.

Counter argument: Police spend too much time and money on CSI-styled high-tech tools and surveillance and not enough on basic detective work and walking a beat.
- Wirehead
I don't know. I don't think police time or forensic work is necessarily the answer to this one. Simply remove the economics of the drug trade by legalizing it and you lose the economic imperative to as aggressively defend turf. Gang murders will still take place but I think a lot less than you see today. You could also then devote more police/DA resources to the real crimes that are occurring instead of to busting Tommy Chong.
- Thomas Hawk
Unfortunately some of the victims are not involved in drugs and are just in the wrong place, are victims of mistaken identity or are in the wrong (right) house. And it's not just the bad guys making the mistakes either. The various SWAT teams that every little jurisdiction seems to be able to justify these days are responsible for innocent deaths as well ( and a crap load of close calls).
