The other day I upgraded my computer, I went from my 6 and a half year old laptop to a 4 year old desktop, and wow that's an impressive upgrade. Anyway, my username changed, hence the path to my photos has changed too, and Digikam stores that info in its internal DB (sqlite). Even if you copy your digicamrc file and your photos, and the digikam4.db database you might have to edit the db yourself to let it know the new path.. This is not as complicated as it may sound.

You can use sqlitebrowser for exampe. On Debian: apt-get install sqlitebrowser Then open your digikam4.db (wherever it may be): sqlitebrowser digikam4.db and edit the path, "specificPath". Images may help, so voila:

Go to the Browse Data tab, look at the specificData row.

Double click to edit the the cell and correct the value to your new path. Don't forget to "save" the database changes, you should be all set. ... the volume identifier (in my case at least) will be updated by Digikam.

Note: It took about 25 minutes for Digikam to start after these edits, but since it works totally normally.

Hopefully there could/should be a tool in a newer version of Digikam to add a tool to help with this.. Anyway, if this helps you today, that cool. : ]

Yuri Gagarin is the first human to orbit our planet, he made it around the world in 108 minutes on April 12 1961. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the event The Attic Room has put together a trip around the planet. This video uses original images as well as new images, they tried much to stay on the same path Yuri took.

So go to firstorbit.org, read more about it, watch it, download it share it.. . Oh by the way, this is released under the Creative Commons license.

Some images from the OpenNight event last night..

More about King James Hyperfuck.

I took some photos for a performance Tsuneko Taniuchi did. I'm bad at explaining so for more info visit Tsuneko Taniuchi's website.

I just setup this website for a friend of mine, Roger Woloshyn AKA starman. I met him at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre when I was on my "Subarctic Lifstyle of a Spotted Mind" trip. starman has a few articles on aurora viewing and other Churchill related stuff.. see for yourself at starman.ca

A bit late, but I've been a bit busy lately, more on this subject. I've finally got something I've been looking to get for a long time. I don't think I'm done with this matter nor shall I ever be.. Words stop here:

I now uploaded the whole set in the gallery.

Wow, snow. We are not used to it anymore, nowadays when it snows everybody get's all excited, the news talks only about that. It reminds of the hype with hurricane Gloria back when I was a bit younger

This should be part one of an idea that one day got stuck in my head... something about liking light trails on night photos and the frustration of not seeing any flying cars even though we are officially ten years into the future... ..

So I went for a walk today and took these pictures, this is what 2010 looks like.

I don't know why there aren't more of these boats.. I saw this at the National Maritime Museum (the nation referred to here is "British").. .
