I know there are a few digiKam users reading this blog. (Rob, this post is for you.) There’s no excuse now for not putting more photos up on your flickr accounts! Look under File > Export > Export to Flickr in the digiKam main window. It’s easy-peasy to upload a single photo or photos in […]

It looks like a Nintendo DS only slightly larger. In five fashion colours too: At TigerDirect.ca yesterday I saw that the Asus Eee is priced at 365.99.
