Before some weeks I had imported blogs that I am following at google reader to my Blogger dashboard just to be easy for people watching at my profile blogs that I am following.
But finally now Google imported back at my reader blogs that I am following from blogger… So I have many doubled posts. And it was really annoying. I tried to find and hopefully I found answer at google groups. So at preferences you can uncheck the box and fix the really annoying automatic import.

Almost before one year yahoo photos moved to flickr. I liked it. I had already purchased a pro account but what I missed from yahoo account is the privacy of my photos. At flickr ok you can share your photos only with contacts,friends and family but it is not possible to share a photo with only some contacts of you. I would like to have an option like friend lists so I can share a photo of private moments with my girlfriend with her without my brother can see them… photo by Mskadu

Why I don’t like feedburner in wordpress blogs

karpidis — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:29:19 +0000

Many days I was thinking to write that I don’t like feedburner but now that I read why Panayotis don’t like disqus I decided to do it. Actually also I don’t like disqus not only about absence of trackbacks that now it is fixed but the reply system can make to lose a very interesting comment because it is under a stupid flame war. But I don’t like feedburner in wordpress blogs because after one year that I was testing the co.mments and cocomment.com I get bored that I couldn’t have a easy way to check all places that I have left a comment. So I made a tag comments in my google reader and I am registering in the feed of every single post. BUT feedburner wp plugin redirect to the full feed so I actually destroys wp-facilities. I like feedburner but I give this feed not in my blog for email subscribers, for vidcast subcribers but not as my blog’s feed

Why to offer free under Creative Commons?

I am a supporter of Creative Commons. All my photos are under Creative Commons. I don’t care if someone makes money from that but just to have anyone that needs a photo and for me a citation…
Wikipedia uses 75 of my photos. Many of thme are from famous people that I managed to took pictures of them. One of them my teammate and one of the most strong players Karen Asrian. Sadly he passed away before 2 days. I feel bad about this. Last days I didn’t read any chess news and I received an invitation for group in his memory so I searched for news to see if it was a bad joke or true what I didn’t want to believe.
So I saw that it was everywhere my photo used without any citation to the source.I don’t sell my photos but I would like only a citation for the source.
I found these links below and if I find more it will updated automatically. If someone of also see just post the link to my del.icio.us with notCCAsrian

I tried to contact or to leave a comment to the articles so some of them deleted them but the most disgusting is that armtown had made an link without citation at photo like it was its photo…
So I was thinking why someone to offer anything for free under CC as it is easier to be theft its work?
Just Someone use it in wikipedia after everyone finds it easy and take it without any citation. Even some of theme write via wikipedia like it is owned by wikipedia… Are we ready for CC?

So you can read it by your mobile without waiting so much for all the photos. I tested it in my N82 and it is working excellent. Probably I will use it and in politikoblog.gr

Last.fm ban artist?

karpidis — Thu, 15 May 2008 01:07:23 +0000

Actually it is not normal to write only feedback in my english but write now only this I like to share it in not my native language. I am fan of last.fm. I bought and subscription so I can listen my favorite songs. But I would like to have the option to ban artists than ban only songs. Many Greek singers I cannot even listen them. So when I choose to listen greek rock, because of lack of many greek songs or bad tagging there many singers that are greek pop. So that time I was thinking about banned them but I cannot… Have you thought about it?

Last days have many problems and I think is the problem of the “new” feature of video. I don’t like it but I like that people they are working to to have a something good for all us small web publishers. So I like very much Flickr share this but I would more useful you could use it for all the sizes.

Sort by date at Google searches?

karpidis — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:53:38 +0000

Has anybody thought that in Google search it would be useful to have sort by date? Actually you can use advanced search to show only last results but why not everything?
