A little later we moved five miles up river to King Hill and I acquired a Sinclair computer and a tape recorder to hold the data.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-8128140492055631132017-09-07T19:11:03.533-06:002017-09-07T19:11:03.533-06:00All this year, I've been doing a review, delet...All this year, I've been doing a review, delete, archive on removable drive and printing the work I have done that I consider important. I do not trust that Flickr will be around forever. My images exist digitally in several places offline and some of the better ones are being printed and will be left behind for whomever wants them after I've gone to outer space.<br /><br />The Photobucket thing is a disgrace.<br /><br />I sometimes think about all of the young families I see recording their lives on smart phones and keeping the photos there or wherever. I am lucky. My Dad shot Kodachromes and I have trays of them from my childhood.<br /><br />LOVE the photo by the way!JR Smithhttp://www.fogdog-photography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-49023203831689810372017-09-07T18:04:09.738-06:002017-09-07T18:04:09.738-06:00A wake-up call for sure. There are things people ...A wake-up call for sure. There are things people can do to protect their individual data. I have back-ups and I've got my negatives well organized. But as you say there is an enormous investment of time in putting anything out on the web, and redoing it is never easy. What is currently going on in regard to net neutrality is also a concern as it seems a clear signal that ethical standards are headed in the direction of the Photobucket example.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-6949865335850616042017-09-07T15:28:42.879-06:002017-09-07T15:28:42.879-06:00Great snapshot.

...Great snapshot. Good looking fellow on the bike.<br /><br />What Photobucket did is crap, full stop. I work in the software industry and have been a part of a couple companies that have, as we say in the biz, started circling the drain. I've never been party to a move like Photobucket's. It's ethics are borderline.<br /><br />I worry a lot about Flickr. 90+% of my blog's photos are hosted there. As of today, I've published 1,801 posts. That's a lot of photographs to replace should Flickr go away or pull a Photobucket. Honestly, if something like that happens I will have to reconsider whether I continue the blog. The project to restore the lost photos is of an enormous scale and duration.Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.com
