Pity, I say.
I consider myself reasonably computer savvy [STFU Zerb]. I know enough to check for spyware and viruses and to run my network behind a firewall. I purge my cache and temporary
I usually use the add/remove programs instead of just willy nilly deleting stuff I no longer want.
I consider myself a good steward of my computer.
Yet, still, shit goes wrong. Technically speaking, of course.
This all started because I would get this DWWIN.EXE error when shutting down my laptop. After some serious googling I was still no closer to a solution to my problem but the issue of registry maintenance did surface.
Well, I admit, I've never fiddled with my registry. I ran a diagnostic tool [he he, I said tool] that discovered roughly a Brazillian registry errors. Sigh. So like the good lemming I am, I ran the fix. And, lo and behold, a WHOLE NEW ERROR COMES UP.
Eff me. Eff me now. Eff me hard.
I did some research on the new error and determined it was one of two peices of software. I uninstalled the first. Nope. Not THAT one. I uninstalled the second. Bingo. So I had to reinstall the first since they both did pretty much the same thing and I needed ONE to work.
The one that works is Picasa. If you don't have any photo management software I would highly recommend Picasa. It's easy to use and web friendly. If you post a blog of send pictures to friends regularly this little bad boy is for you. Picasa will let you publish and entire gallery of photos to the web for friends and family to view. I don't know about you, but that there really floats my boat if you smell what I'm cooking. [inside joke, just move along]
So while I was perusing my photos and editing out worthless stuff I ran across this:
In the thumbnail view it just looked like a bad blurry picture. But when I opened it up, it kinda grew on me. Like a, "Wow, I might have bad dreams if I look at that too long" kinda way, which is really the whole point of Halloween isn't it?
P.S. Do I still get the DWWIN.EXE error you ask?
Well, hell yeah, doh!

I would recommend Flickr over picasa. I looked at picasa when I was thinking of starting to use an online photo service along with flickr. Those were the only two I really even evaluated. Everything else seemed to be too service oriented as far as selling your photos to your friends and family that you want to share them with. I decided on flickr since it's around the same price but there are like 0 restrictions with the account. Upload as many photos as you want, organize them the way you want (including tags) and your photos are then open to the world, not just who you send them too. This may not be a plus to everyone, but I like the idea. That's the only tree hugging hippy part of myself. I think everything should be open.
The registry is the single worst idea in all of Windows - and that's saying something. Don't get me started...
Hmm, I've heard of Flickr but only heard of it. Never tried it.
Might be worth a look see.
I have no problem with the album being public. I seriously doubt anybody would want any of my pictures.

Does this mean you will no longer be charging a monthly membership fee for access to your site?
