No Panic! Not the server again! Only me! :-)

I am off to a class trip from Monday morning to Friday noon. Old fashioned hostel (Schullandheim) without things like internet. There is a payphone in the hall…. ;-)

The next show is recorded and will be edited the next weekend. So expect a show on June 17.

Focus Ring 14

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

It’s not the newest news - but due to the server problem I wasn’t able to post this before. We recorded a new Focus Ring and it was my turn to moderate and edit this time. It was worth the effort, I think.

This month John Arnold (PhotoWalkthrough.com), Jeff Curto (Camera Position), Paul Giguere (Thoughts on Photography) and Rolf Steinort (Meet the Gimp) are talking about goal setting and planning photographic
projects, taking pictures without a camera and with cameras that aren’t what you’re used to. We also talk about licensing images under the Creative Commons License as opposed to putting them under strict Copyright and the upcoming legislation in the US concerning orphaned works gets an honourable mention.

Just to get you over the gap in the flow of videos here is the last one before the server dies. And it’s the first one on the new server - this posting was not in the backup because the provider killed the server one day early. All your comments are lost too. :-(

It covers CYMK modes for printing in a video of Andrew A. Gill. He tells us the why and how and what can be done with GIMP and what not.The discussion with more links is here.

I show you how to install and use the “Save for Web” plugin.

Hope to see you again soon! 2 weeks from now on!

Server problems solved!

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

This is the new Meet the GIMP! Server. And your DNS has served the right address. ;-)

There is still some stuff to do and I have the grades and a one week class trip in front of me. So no new videos in the next two weeks - expect one at June 17, 1700 GMT.

No 47 is out there, but the posting with all the nice comments is lost. The server was shut down one day too early - 6 hours before I wanted to do my final backup. So I’ll try to recreate the posting with the right link for the feed.

The feed will stay static on Marcin’s server until I produce a new video and the last DNS in the world has noticed the change. 48 hours - pft!
