Thanks Val. Not my doings, my wife's. She has over 50 years experience of
mainly flower 'pretty' garden.

This is what it was like when we moved in (The ones with the white van in
it).

This was September 1986 when Thatcher had just started to do what Hitler
tried to do, wreck the UK's manufacturing industry. We were lucky, we got
out with a little, she wrecked lots of people's lives :-((

The other photos are during reconstruction.

That is a pretty fuschia!

I've used dropbox. You can use it to store large documents, or exchange
files, as well as pictures. You can restrict access to files which is
useful if there are confidentiality issues. Unlimited storage IIRC.

Don't know if it's any better than the other options out there, but
dropbox works just fine.

2 Gigabytes are free, if you want more you have to pay for it.
You get an extra quarter of a gig free for every person you get to
subscribe to Drop Box.
We use it for exchanging photos etc. within the family.

It was among the best three in a PC magazine test.


Actually now I recall the slick thing about it (under Windows, didn't
work for Linux of course): you install a little app and it keeps a
desktop "dropbox folder" synced with the others in the group. That's of
course useful for document sharing, but would be pretty nice for sharing
media content with family etc. (Although I suppose there's facebook for
that! I don't use it, but I'm the only one in the family who doesn't).

You can certainly install it and forget it. No nagging or phony
updating. Anything you put in the "my dropbox" folder gets stored online
and any changes you make are automatically updated in the background.
Couldn't be simpler

I recently discovered it and as you say it's good for confidential stuff
too. It also handles short videos quite well. I'll be using it again,
definitely.

Don't want to scare unnecessarily, but Dropbox have had some security
issues this year -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06...ecurity_issue/

- and a more general issue about cloud based storage of this type -

Probably not a big deal for people storing/sharing photos

Which distro is that? I used dropbox a while ago, perhaps this is
new functionality. Just out of interest, do you have to install a daemon
with your permissions?

It can cope with whole episodes of Midsomer Murders.

Are you pulling my leg?

Well, it's a .deb file from their site so any Debian-based distro, I'm
using Mint 10. Don't know whether there's a .rpm on there too, I didn't
look. Like all .debs it has to be installed with the root password but
the process shown by htop is owned by me rather than root.
