Analog Collage: “cu y de gaia”



Analog Collage: "cu y de gaia"

this one is hanged on my fridge.

Blog online

So now i have a blog (again). Hopefully i'll use this one to:

  • post my new artworks;

  • write about things: webstuff, softwares and cool links and articles.


And i'll do this in english. Maybe i'll write some posts in portuguese, specially some tutorials on web stuff and softwares, but i'll tag them as "Portugues" (its Portuguese in Portuguese, without the accent: "Português").

About

The artworks i'm sharing here are all free for download and sharing.
I do this in my free time and maintain it by my work @ Portal do Voluntário.

If you want to help me, visit my donation page.

Feel free to contact me for any questions, suggestions, critics etc.

How to organize my images on Flickr?

I want to organize my collages so one can have a nice navigation on my website.
I'm thinking in the following way:
TYPE:

  • Collages All

  • Collages Digital

  • Collages Handmade

  • Collages HighQuality



  • Photos All

  • Photos Animals

  • Photos Nature

  • Photos Humans


But because of the sizes of the sets (up to 100 images in each (i hope)) all these sets could be subGrouped by YEAR so one can see the "evolution" and navigate trough the years and types.

Why? i would like to see for example:

  • CollagesDigital + 2005


Wouldn't you find it usefull?

Possible solutions:

1. Type>Set and Year>Tag
I can create a Set for each Type and give a tag for each year
Problems:

  • there's no API to retrieve all tags from a specific Tag.


2. Type>Tag and Year>Tag

Looks like this could work (e.g. CollagesDigital+2005)
Problems:

  • this might get very slow if i have many photos... or not?


...to be written more... soon, very soon...

Web2.0 para iniciantes

Abaixo alguns conselhos para facilitar a sua vida na internet. Vou completando isso aos poucos.

  • Navegador: Esqueça o Internet Explorer, instale o Firefox: http://www.getfirefox.com. Tem o Flock também, mas não achei nada especial nele.

  • Sites Favoritos: Crie uma conta no Delicious. e compartilhe seus sites favoritos. Sim, todo mundo terá acesso aos seus sites favoritos. Essa é a idéia, COMPARTILHAR informação que presta!

  • Agora, para tornar o bookmark pelo delicious rápido, instale esta extensão do Delicious para o Firefox;

  • Eventos: Na sua cidade, compartilhe os eventos que você acha interessante pelo: Upcoming.org (exemplo: Eventos no Rio de Janeiro);

  • Fotos: Esqueça o fotolog. Use o Flickr.com. Lá você tem milhares de opções para organizar suas fotos por sets e tags., além de poder fazer uma API e mostrar elas no seu site (saca só como ficou no meu);

  • Videos: Eu comecei a usar o YouTube (o Flickr do video), mas cansei da logo deles nos meus videos e resolvi usar o GoogleVideo (upload pelo UploadVideoGoogle). Tudo bem, o GoogleVideo não tem tags, nem comentários, mas o PutOnSite de qualquer video é o bicho. Veja como ficam os videos no meu site.

  • Texto: Gostei bastante do Writely.com para escrever textos em colaboração.
