It’s been a hot rumor on the net for the past few weeks, and now it has finally materialized. Google’s Picasa photo management software has opened up, for a limited number of people, Picasa Web Albums.
The service, if you can get in, will allow you to host about 1000 images for free. If you run out of room after that, there is the option to upgrade to 6GB of storage for a yearly fee of $25.00. Kind of makes me wonder if that is a direction that GMail will be headed.
Over the weekend (June 11th) the wife and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary together. We had a lot of fun in a secluded cabin in the Smokey Mountains. I’ll post some picks of it later today, and I’m sure she’ll have something to say about it on her blog.
Speaking of screenshots, I also got around to taking some of Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2. Like the Google Spreadsheet screenshots, I’ve posted the Office 2007 images at TechRelated.com.
Earlier in the week, Google released Google Spreadsheets in limited-beta. I was able to get access to this, and decided to post some screenshots of of Google’s latest utility.
While I was at it, I decided to do a mini writeup on the ajax driven, web based application. You’ll find the screenshots and write up over at TechRelated.com.
You may have noticed that d3bruts1d.com was extremely slow for the past two days. In fact, it was so slow that depending on your browser, d3bruts1d.com may not have even loaded.
With the help of my hosting provider, I was able to find and fix the script that was causing the problem. I’ve also put a fix into place to keep this problem from happening again.
The “downtime” also gave me a chance to upgrade to the latest version of e107.
