Photo sharing resource

MyPhotoAlbum is supposed to be the resource for storing, sharing and printing pictures via Internet. Well, I used it just for keeping my pictures online. The resource is really nice: it is updated constantly, it is easy-to-use, it provides to the visitor shrinked images with the possibility to get the original one. Well, everything is nice with it (except the fact that it does not allow to use it from the countries in the Eastern Europe region!).

Unexpectedly some weeks ago I received a message, that told me that for keeping using this service it is required to order at least one print during the year. What can I say: this service was created for trading and commerce, so no offense.

But now I'm looking for the substitution. My requirements are:

• keeping the originals of the pictures


• organizing pictures by albums and/or tags


• easy and fast slide-show


• direct non-dynamic links to the pictures


• UI able to work in non-IE browsers (e.g. Opera)


• fast hosting & large storage

The closest one for now is Flamber.ru. It does not provide slideshows though. But everything else at the first glance seems to be OK.

So, my photosite is slowly floating to the new hosting http://avalanche.flamber.ru/.

Opera 9.0 Final is out!

Long chain of Beta's is over. Here it comes - the king of the hill - Opera 9.0 Final, The Fastest Browser on Earth!

At the first look, it became much more customizable.

And at the second - it passes ACID2 test, so there's a hope that soon comes the full support from the side of Google (Calendar, Page Creator, Spreadsheets, etc.)

At least I hope for that, because I'm tired of having two browsers: Maxthon for the IE-only sites and Opera for the whole rest of the world :-)

UPDATE:
OK, next my appreciates go to the History Browser. Well done! Bravo! Easy and neat, grouping by the visiting day, filter-search field, two-panels browsing - just perfect.

Visual content blocking and cache browsing - not the major ones, but anyway ARE really nice options.

Where all this gonna end I wonder?

I am not the follower of Luddite movement, I am not the conservative. But sometimes I got very scared of what happens in the world.

The mankind was always dependent on something it had produced. And it can't give it up. And I don't see the reason why it should.

But at the same moment I know some person who are involved in the changing of the Whole Wide World. And I am not quite sure in all of them being truly reliable on in that...

What I want to say. A lot of things are postulated & considered to be solid & unshakable. But the problem is.. that they are not!

Have a look for example.

First post

Hello!

This blog is supposed to be English-speaking representative of my virtual Me. I don't know yet what it would be like nor at least what it should be like. Nevertheless I have a very good feeling about it...

I go open the Champagne..
