home now

[cellio]

I got home around 9:30 this morning, a mere (!) 22 hours after our first plane left Eilat. Oof. Good trip and I'll write some wrap-up stuff later (and about our last day), but in the meantime, some requests:

1. Please tell me about things you think I should know from the last two weeks.

2. What's your favorite photo-hosting site? I want to post some pictures to my LJ but point to bigger buckets of them (for those who care). I care about individual-photo URLs (for said posts), being able to add captions, and retaining ownership; if people can leave comments (per photo or per gallery) that's cool, but not essential.

Glad you're back!!

I personally love the Scrapbook that livejournal gives you. As a permanent user (I am one too), you get 10G of storage space. There's also a way to upload pictures pretty easily using Windox XP Publishing Wizard (http://pics.livejournal.com/site/tech/xpclient/instructions) (Tho, I am not sure if you use Windows...)

I find it very easy to use, especially with livejournal.

Thanks for the wizard pointer. My home machine runs XP. I've been using LJ hosting so far (for the few images that I've posted), but uploading them one at a time via the web interface just wouldn't be reasonable for as many as I'm going to want to share. (I came home with around 500-600 photos. Granted, a lot will be culled, but I still expect to post over 100.)

It's how I post my Pennsic pictures every year. If I had to do them by hand -- HEH. No way. :)

The Wizard is great but like all good freeware, sometimes not perfect. I've learned to set it to upload the pictures and then walk away from the computer until it's done, else it borks up a bit. However, my laptop's about 3 years old at this point and could have used more RAM when I bought it. :)

Honestly, I'd give it a try before trying Flickr. But then, I'm biased and I love Scrapbook. :)
