Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Bob says he’s never heard of the first one (re: Matches).

I am amused to report that while I was whinging here about my Flickr uploads going unnoticed, a fella on Flickr was showing great interest in the Storms picture.

I didn’t think of that. It might work better than KeePass….

Ah. Forgot about that. I don’t supposed you’ve googled to see if there is an equivalent that can read Mac keychains?

But the netbook is running Windows XP. No keychain there….

Sillly me, but why not just use the Keychain under mac OS X? I bet there are hints online about syncing keychains across machines.

Comment on One last thought on Ayn Rand by John the Statistician

I came to the same conclusion, although with fewer data-points from Rand, so I’m happy to see it backed up elsewhere. Needless to say, the idea that she herself might be a collective would have been the ultimate heresy.

Comment on iPhoto vs. Flickr, round two by Pat

People who try to understand me often end up confused. (Just ask Jennifer.)

I’m thinking of dialog from A Man For All Seasons: “I trust I make myself obscure?” “Perfectly.”

The goal here is not to upload my entire photo library, which contains 17,000+ images. What I want instead is that once I have selected an image in iPhoto for upload to Flickr, it should happen with minimal further involvement from me. I want image metadata – titles, descriptions, tags, etc. – synchronized between iPhoto and Flickr. And I want images from my phone, which are sent directly to Flickr, to automatically download to iPhoto.

iPhoto’s Flickr support is about two-thirds of what I want, so I’m going with it.

I must admit a sense of confusion as to why the photos must exist in both universes. Is it so you will have a cloud backup? Or do you just want to be able to share them with family? I may share individual photos with folks, but never my entire photo collection. So your desire here leaves me puzzled.
