Fifty years ago – August 15-17, 1969 – “three days of peace and music” at Woodstock in the tiny New York town of Bethel that had expected “no more than 50,000 people” [1] marked an epochal spiritual and cultural moment in global history when more than 400,000 people came together to enjoy music and spread peace and love among each other despite soaking rains, cramped space, and scarce provisions of food and water. Even though the crowd wa…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The removal of more than 200 abandoned member accounts with group administrator functions, mentioned in the discussion about the last Newsflash, caused many administrations to be automatically reassigned by the ipernity software. If you don't want to take over such a task, you can leave the group and join it again immediately. 2) This action, as well as our offer to reorganize abandoned groups, which has already been claimed more than thirt…

[EN] We currently have a server malfunction. For unknown reasons one of the parallel working frontend servers is obviously looking towards an old version of ipernity. We are trying to fix this problem as soon as possible. Your IMA team [FR] Nous avons actuellement un dysfonctionnement d'un serveur. Pour des raisons inconnues, l'un des serveurs frontaux s'exécutant en parallèle fonctionne manifestement sur une ancienne version d'ipernity. Nous essayons de résoudre ce problème…

UPDATE FROM PAM (PLEASE FORGIVE IT IS A COPY AND PASTE) TODAY (7TH UUGUST ) I WENT TO A SPECIALIZED SIGHT EXAMINATION. I AM NOT IMPROVING AND MY BRAIN SURGEON WANTED ME TO GO TO GO HAVE THIS DONE TO GIVE A "BASE LINE" HE COULD REFER TO AT MY NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH HIM ON 18TH SEPTEMBER. THE LEFT-SIDE NEGLECT PROBLEM en.wikipedia.org/WIKI/HEMISPATIAL_NEGLECT HAS BEEN CAUSING VERY BAD FALLS AND SERIOUS HEAD BANGS.AND POSSIBLY THE AWFUL DIZZINESS I WENT TO THE EXAMINATION WITH A HOPE…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) During the last 6 months our website has been updated in many parts. In addition to all kinds of small bug fixes, the Breaking-News function and the freely adjustable background color have been introduced. The “Terms of Service” have been updated as well as “About ipernity” and “History”. The subscription page has been redesigned, the old FAQ replaced by a completely new version. The geo-localization was migrated to Open-Street-Map, the inte…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity, This morning at 10:09 am the automatic monitoring systems of our website reported a fundamental dysfunction. Many of you have also quickly informed us about this outage. We thank you for that. The problem was that one of the main servers we hosted at the Amazon Web Service unexpectedly stopped. Thanks to the help of Christophe Ruelle, the former director of the ipernity website, normal operation was resumed at 13:05 (CEST). Fortunately, th…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! To address questions being raised about Irene Steeves and her groups, I regret to say, we received several complaints about content Irene displayed in her photostream. IMA conducted a thorough investigation, from which the results required account suspension/deletion based on the Terms of Service and Guide of Good Conduct. This action was also taken to protect the best interests of all parties involved and stakeholders. As stewards entrusted to…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The final statement of the fundraising for the reprogramming of ipernity is now available. 75 club members and 145 "free" users participated. The sum of the raised capital amounts to 17,114 EUR (57% of 30,000 EUR). Therefore the reprogramming cannot yet be commissioned as planned. 2) Before we consider external funding opportunities, we would like to address those club members who have not participated to date, although they would be econom…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) On Wednesday our fundraising campaign for the reprogramming finished. Despite the dedicated participation of 75 club members, who contributed the majority of the funds, the result of 16,745 EUR (56%) stayed far below the required amount of 30,000 EUR. The ima team will now discuss how to proceed. 2) Unfortunately, the participation of "free" users was far below expectations. Nevertheless, we would like to thank all those who donated som…

Thanks to my ipernity friend Fred, I had a look on old but still available Picasa 3 for Windows. With Picasa you can rather easily add geolocation onto images and export smaller copies for web. Do notice you can use Picasa only to add the geolocation. You don't need Google Earth for that. What you need is to download and install Picasa . Start from light blue button saying "Latest version". That seem to be reliably web site enough. The installer I downloaded was virus free according to com…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The display of shooting positions has meanwhile been migrated from GoogleMaps to OpenStreetMap. This map is free of charge and has even better accuracy than GoogleMaps. In contrast to earlier times, the exact address and GPS coordinates are now also displayed. You can copy them directly into other applications, such as Google-Earth. 2) For the GEO-positioning of photos we have to use Google's fee-based service until further notice, because…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We had to shut down parts of the Google map service at short notice, because the costs have increased dramatically. (Google charged EUR 655 more for March than we budgeted for.) We are now working hard to see whether ipernity can be adapted to cheaper alternatives (OpenStreetMap, Evermaps, Opentopomap, etc.). For the time being,only geo-coordinates will be displayed instead of plain text locations in the location information of the images.…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Our first online General Assembly was a success. As per the statutes, we make the minutes of that meeting available, and choose to make them public, and not restricted to club members. For archive purposes a complete sequence of screen captures of the comments in the discussion was saved in a PDF file which can only be opened by club members. However, the Welcome! discussion can be viewed by all. 2) The subscription page has b…
