Jumping on the Auto Awesome bandwagon.

I think this is a red velvet mite. Shooting hand-held, I couldn't get a single clean shot of it, so I figured I'd size 6 frames down and try this auto awesome thing.

Now is ze time on Sprockets vhen ve dance!

So, is the photo thingy workin' yet?

Everybody else is sharing old albums, so here's one of my older ones. Somebody lemme know when the photo thingy is fixed, yeah? :)

I've been told by, +Ela Kupiec that if you use Picasa (the desktop app, not the site) you can upload photos into albums and share them in one step just like the good ol' days. Unfortunately, I didn't get the part about using the desktop app, not the site until after I spent an hour trying to figure out how to do it on Picasaweb. Oh well. :P

Stop whispering, start shouting

So, the less-than-ideal and hopefully temporary workaround to sharing photos and keeping them neatly organized in albums is to share the photo via the standard share box and then to go into picasaweb, find the photo and move it into the appropriate album.

That's the way we had to do it for a while there after the last big update broke the workflow. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon, but as it sits, it seems like it would be a fair bit of UI overhaul to get it working like it used to, which means it could be a while.

It seems to me that the ideal solution would be to add a way to select where you'd like to upload your photo to (which existing album or create a new album) from right within the main share box. I think that's how it should have functioned all along.


You're not that much like me

OK, so what happens if I upload this from the share box and then move it into the proper album?

I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain

OK. New Gplus. Looks fantastic. Hooray.

However, posting a photo suddenly seems much, much more convoluted?

It used to be that I'd hit Add Photo, pick the album, upload, skip tagging, write the post, boom. Done. I can't seem to do that any more?

To post this one, I had to navigate to the album first, then upload the image, then find it and share it. Doing it like that before resulted in a copy of the photo being made, remember? So, will it still do that? Let's find out...

Normally, I wouldn't give a guy a flower for his birthday, but +Alan Shapiro isn't normal. I've seen the guy wear a strainer on his head. I mean, what is that about? ;)

Happy birthday, my friend!

Everyone is posting gorgeous macro photos today in honour of the delightful +kimberton pemberly. Well, homie don't play dat. So here's a picture of a squirrel who was helping me build shit yesterday before his unfortunate incident with the table saw. :)

Seriously though, we all hope you get feeling better and back to smearing your Pemberton brand Snark™ all over the walls of this place soon! #weloveyoupemberton

This is that other squirrel's great-great-great grandfather. Or grandmother. I'm guessing. Probably not.
