  Pictures of Fort Kochi and the Kerala country side 

I had been to my native place at Pala and Karimanoor this weekend. It was a nice drive along hilly country with lots of heavy downpour to give us company. The country side in Kerala is beautiful. It is probably one of the most abundant states in India with respect to flora and fauna.

 

Here is the gallery:

I am beginning to get an edgy feel about this whole photo gallery business. It doesn’t scale too well, wrt managing lots of galleries over time and I am not classifying the pictures well enough. Hmm…

Hey Rosh,

I actually suggest you use an online service such as Hello for your pictures. Two reasons:
1. The obvious - easier, space-saver, etc.
2. Another server outage or something and we lose some really good pictures.

I suggest you do this even if you continue your galleries here.

PS: Waiting to see "WHAT" your 43 things would be. :)

I tried out Hello and it left me with an unconfortale feeling like Kazaa and such used to. For now I have a backup of pics on my system, I can just recreate the galleires by rerunning the script and I will start removing old pics from time to time.

If I find an online space provider, then I could actually dump the images there and script the whole thing up. Itsshocking to realise how slow your old O2 350 MHz system is when you are running winXP and load 3+mb size pics. Whoa...

Just a vague thought, but try using Flickr and graduate to Pro if you think you need it. The storage is great, the services are better, and the best is the clustering/ tag/ set mechanism which helps you really organize your photographs.

Over time I haven't found keeping photographs on HardDisk a very viable solution, especially if you want to change comps, mail out photographs, or want to send out links, in which case you need to keep uploading..

Probably the err.. ubernontechie solution, but it seems to work extremely well.

You know I am from this old school where I get this shady feeling when I really have to leave content that is important to me on someone elses resources. Thanks for the names though.. I think I will look at those.

As opposed to blogging your content, for the whole world to see?

Are you afraid of stealth, or loss? :)
Well, one solution is to mail to Flickr in batches, and the best is you can mail them with tags! So you create a gmail account or two (well, technically not your resource, so you have a copy on hand) but at the same time you have galleries where it's all clustered and well defined.

Waise.. Luck on the new journey dost!

Flickr has an API saar. Folks have written apps with Ruby too!

Go ahead, show them your hacker muscle. (I don't have that!)

Super neat. Thank you for the API..

"Are you afraid of stealth, or loss? :) "
Actually neither - I am more afraid of lakc of configurability. I am afraid of being limited by some silly interface.
