General Software Discussion / Re: SyncBackSE vs. SuperFlexible
« Last post by tomos on November 17, 2007, 08:25 AM »
also just had a look at SFFS version-history page & its getting an update every couple of days for the last couple of months
Hopefully the GUI might be improved for the next version at least .. maybe
I remember with the discount here, he was promising free updates (on request it sounded like) to people who bought with the discount - dunno is that discount still valid?

I am the software author and I want to add that a free version 4.0 update is no problem. When version 4 is out, there will be ways to get a free update, you just need to remember that you have been promised it!

(dunno can i link to thread here - being for members only)

Oh, guys, I drove you nuts ;D. The picture I downloaded and opened is the one that icekin mentioned. You can't get the other one though, but you can take [url=http://www.bertmonroy.com/fineart/text/fineart_damen.htm]a closer look to it

DONE! XnView opened it in mere seconds, and I have it loaded right now. Of course, memory usage is high, almost 1 GB for the program alone, but no problems viewing the picture. I can zoom the picture around, but it requires some time.

Check out the resolution: 22620x15200, and created on Photoshop CS2 with a Macintosh. I suppose it's one of those high end workstations Apple was selling, with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM.

Mike, have a look at the first 6 pages or so here :D
http://www.google.de...amp;client=firefox-a
reports tend to be very mixed,
guess depends where you coming from & what you want to do with it maybe

Then there's Dolphin/Aiptek/Medion/Trust which all seem to be same product -
possibly only available europe (Medion is Aldi related "brand")

I still use a mouse :P

forgot to say it's about six foot long & roughly three high

Shame about the adds at the end - you could cut them off but then the "frame" would be missing :-\

only seems to be available in Switzerland & "Euroraum" - euro countries i guess: €24*

I couldnt resist that myself :)

  • exif-pro: not enough memory warning
  • Windows fax etc Viewer: opened "Preview" couldnt show it full size
  • Photoshop5.5 opened it but at reduced resolution - with no error warning or anything :huh:
  • gimp2.2 opened it (took a while though) I could zoom in & move around it *very* slowly
    gimp using 1.1GB memory, not that much CPU but too sloooow.

also I *think* it's a compressed tif -
Photoshop was saying almost 1GB size when opened (that was maybe with reduced resolution?),
Gimp was saying "2.5GB Background" not familiar with gimp so not sure if that meant file size..

General Software Discussion / Re: What’s Your Backup Strategy?
« Last post by tomos on November 15, 2007, 03:41 AM »
essential stuff (mainly current stuff I'm working on):

  • gets versioned/backed-up to second harddrive*
  • these get copied to multisession DVD one a day (or often less often..) along with programmes settings (see below) and other bits n pieces.
    This gets stored outside the home once a week or so (i.e. I have a couple of DVDs going. This could be done easier maybe e.g. Amazon S3 but I'm used to this for now..)
  • also keep three versions of current work on usb stick AND a mirrored/synched copy.
    Various other bits n pieces get copied to usb stick as well

  • Basically every thing gets backed up to second harddrive except photos which are already there (on second drive).
    I also copy these to DVD & store elsewhere but dont have a strategy for backing up edited/worked photos.
    i.e. only the originals are backed up.
    I've been trying to figure out an easy way of backing these up but like having them in the original folder (by upload date) so I can easily compare with original image..would be easier to backup though if in different folder.

  • Use Backup4all to back up programme settings (with plugins)
  • Also Acronis true image for backing up windows/software partition

I dont have any music.
So basically I have copies of pretty much everything on DVD here at home & elsewhere
Unfortunately still not very organised (the discs...)

* Was using SFFS, now using SFFS and Filehamster.
Hope to move to mainly FH for current work in the future - when I'm sure of it :)

-Edvard (November 13, 2007, 04:54 PM)

I did enjoy that LOLTrek - as the most recent comment says: "I laugh mightily"

yeah, re the grammar it say:
Anil Dash has a great post about them, in which he identifies a number of lolcat subclasses and discusses kitty pidgin, the mangled English used in many lolcat pictures. Kitty pidgin is surprisingly regular, which I suppose means, as Anil Dash puts it, that cats can has regular grammar.
and Anil Dash mentions
This kind of nascent web culture is generally frowned upon by Wikipedia (witness the deletion of the I'm in ur base article...
booo wikipedia

That's funny I havent seen this behaviour -
but I do use an underscore for those profiles starting with the same name,
maybe I'll get rid of it see -
could be helpful to me cause I've named the profiles after the destination...

Edit: the author does respond very quickly

AutoHotKey!

Apparently not.

maybe it's cause it's a "toggle-ing" key?

you get a "Key Settings" option that allows you to turn off Caps Lock with the Shift key.
