Uploading backlog

Could, and probably should, be catching up on some work this afternoon, before the start of another busy week tomorrow. However, I've decided that there are better things to be doing on a Sunday, and that I will get into the office at a decent time in the morning and crack on with things then.

Looking at Flickr, I am a bit behind with the photo uploading. There are loads still to be put on from our December holiday (as well as other events near the end of last year, Wembley trip, Chris and Carolyn's party ...) and seeing as it really isn't long now until we will no doubt be taking hundreds and hundreds more on our first ever visit to California, I thought that I should get a few more uploaded now.

There are three separate folders-worth of photos needing uploading from the most recent Florida trip, as there is a separate folder for each of my camera, Nicky's and Jake's. Having previously discovered a problem with having shots from multiple cameras going into the same set in Flickr - that I sort them by the date/time stamp that the camera puts on the photo - I made sure that the clocks in each camera were telling the same time for this holiday so that when I upload each of the folders into the same set, and then sort by date/time taken, they will come out in the right order. Spectacularly nerdy I know, but keeps me happy!

Looks to me like the next thing with digital cameras is having built in GPS so that not only does it stamp the photo with date and time information, it also automatically provides location info as well. I think that I can opt to manually add the location information to the photos, but I'm not sure if I have the stamina to go back through all of the 8,000 or so that are on Flickr to try to do this.

Below are a couple of pictures from the ones that I am just uploading. The first one isn't upsidedown, it's a reflection of the castle, and the second one was taken at our wedding anniversary meal at Bice (at Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal). Given that I wasn't able to upload photos and put them on the blog whilst we were on holiday, I may go back through those posts once uploading is complete to attach some relevant piccies.






Maybe next time I am posting and I am uploading pictures, it will be from an iMac. Fingers crossed that everything happens according to plan tomorrow, and then Nicky and I have a shopping day planned for Wednesday!
