upgrading the cheapskate
realised the older batch of pictures uploaded on flickr had "disappeared" cos it could only store up to a max of 200 pictures. apparently, anything more than 200 would be archived into its storage and viewable only if i upgrade my free account or when i delete some newly uploaded stuff. and yes, i'm a fucking cheapskate.the math:
flickr PRO costs
US$ 24.95 (S$42) for a 1 year
US$47.99 (S$81) for a 2 years where i could enjoy
...2 GB monthly upload limit
...Unlimited storage
...Unlimited bandwidth
...Unlimited photosets
...Permanent archiving of high-resolution original images
...Ad-free browsing and sharing
mac membership costs
S$190.05 for 1 year where i could enjoy
...email access anywhere
...mac to mac syncing (for what??? bring my mac to sonja's, bryan's and randy's place for fun ah?)
...home page web publishing and sharing for pics and videos
...idisk 250MB online storage accessible from macs and pcs
...backup of software (including blogger)
its four times more expensive considering i won't be utilising stuff like syncing and email access very often. then again, with the large increase in trigger happy fingers, investing in the mac membership may just be the best way to go. plus, it'll be great to share the videos.
oh rats. decisions decisions.
