Dear members and friends of ipernity, ============================ For those of you still having problems: If trying to add a new photo to a group, and there is no drop-down list, the first thing to try is the Ctrl+F5 to Refresh.

Nachdem ich am Wochenende eine Tanzveranstaltung besuchen konnte/durfte/musste, scheint es mir der richtige Zeipunkt für einige Überlegungen. Usprung von Musik und Tanz Ich war ja nicht dabei und kann deshalb nur Theorien wiedergeben... Wikipedia erzählt uns, dass es in manchen afrikanischen Sprachen nur ein Wort swowohl für Tanz als auch Musik gibt. Bayern 2 (für alle Ausserbayern [soll's ja geben]: ein Radiosender) erzählt uns, dass die Ursprünge der Musik in einer Synchronisation l…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Website update: Improved album listing when uploading Until now, if you wanted to put a photo into one of your albums, it was often difficult to find this. This was because your albums were previously displayed based on the order in which they were created, with the most recent albums on top (see the following illustration, left-hand). In addition, the list was limited to fifty albums. This limit was expandable, but it was cumbersome. The di…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, As the world turns, our global membership is experiencing changes in the weather from one season to another. For many it is the cold arriving for winter, but for others the warmth of summer or mild fluctuations at their equatorial locals. Whichever way your seasons flow, we wish you a Happy New Year! 1. User Interface Improvements 1a. Membership renewal by bank transfer In an effort to make the method for bank transfer membership renewals…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Let's get up and dance! Request for music suggestions for the winter slideshow uploaded to YouTube. There was feedback that the music chosen for the autumn slideshow was too melancholic. For the winter, 'Chris de Burgh / When Winter Comes' is envisaged. Do you have a better idea? Make your suggestions in a comment below. Note : Proposals need to be instrumental music of about 3 minutes duration. The music should be accompanying music…

... 1001, if someone dies. In nun 57 Lebensjahren bin ich viel herum gekommen in der Welt, und der Hunger ist noch nicht gestillt. Schon als Kind faszinierten mich Reiseberichte aus verschiedenen Zeiten und von verschiedensten Orten. Dabei ist es mir ziemlich egal, welcher auch noch so entlegenster Winkel dieser Welt mir warum auch immer gerade in den Sinn kommt - er ist es Wert besucht zu werden. Und wenn mir heute jemand eine Reise zum Mars anbietet, von der ich wahrscheinlich nie zurück kehren würde - ich würde das Angebot annehmen. Nun ist ein ganz banaler Ort hinzugekommen bzw. hat plötzlich Koordinaten und Adresse bekommen - der Resurrection Cemetery auf Staten Island, New York City. Hier findet mein Cousin Timmy Burke seine letzte Ruhestätte.

Ich muss mal ein paar Worte dem Wilfried widmen, der gestern meinen Kommentar gelöscht hatte und mich danach aus seiner "Freundesliste" nahm. Auch andere wurden gelöscht, wie ich es verfolgen kann. Gerade in der momentanen Zeit, kann ich das nicht so mal stehen lassen.

Ich schreibe diese Zeilen in unserer alten Wohnung in Weilerswist. Genau drei Wochen sind vergangen seit der Flutkatastrophe im Tal der Ahr – uns hat es glimpflich getroffen, wir sind gesund und die materiellen Verluste überschaubar. Auch wenn wir jetzt vor schwierigen Entscheidungen stehen – wir sind flexibel und haben die Möglichkeiten, uns neu zu sortieren. Viele andere Betroffene können dies, fürchte ich, nicht von sich sagen. Für mich persönlich ist es Zeit, meine Erinnerungen an die Tage d…

Dear club members, dear friends, In 2017, when I was asked by William Sutherland and Lutz Petersen to help save ipernity from shipwreck, I had just turned 65. I felt too young and energetic for a tranquil retirement. So I went for it, knowing well that it would be a challenging venture full of uncertainties because no one on the founding team was a qualified IT professional. But volunteering for a worthwhile non-profit project appealed to me, and as a passionate mountaineer I was used to hand…
