insert colourful verb here
February 28, 2007 – 3:33 pmI did something terrible. I attempted to update my gallery installation on the web server and I did a pretty good job of permanently erasing all of my photos which I had hosted. Adding insult to injury, I took a backup of the database, but I forgot to copy over the gallery data (images, etc). That got wiped hard and clean.
Because so much of my web server time was spent managing gallery and making sure it integrated into my blog, I’m not going to put myself through the pain all again. So I decided that I should use Flickr - the easy uploading, a kipi-plugin and the social reputation that could be made for myself was all the convincing that I needed. By the time I realised that non pro users can only show the 200 most recent photos, I had already commit to the service. Maybe I’ll upgrade. Probably worth it to know that I can sleep without worrying about deleting all my files. Do you have a flickr account? Befriend me!

Have you looked into picasa.google.com? They have a nice photo hosting platform too. I’m not sure how it integrates into KDE, haven’t tried it yet, but their picasa client is pretty allright.

Yes, I briefly looked into it, but I got the impression that there was a maximum of 250Mb of storage space :(.

I think you’re right, thats probably the maximum for a free account.
