Eye-Fi update

The beauty of the Eye-Fi is that you never really ever mess with it. All I do is login to flickr and create albums. The second automatic copy goes to my PC, and that's for my backup. It's simply a utility to me now...it just works. Until a couple days ago.

I've been considering trying out SmugMug.com for sharing photos. I love flickr for the community and its openness, but I'd like nicer albums and showy features for the family. SmugMug has some nice touches to it and I'd like to play around. Next step: what's the easiest way to get my photos into SmugMug? Eye-Fi? Maybe. I login to the web console to have a look around. Maybe there's a feature that will handle all of this. Oh, there's a firmware update available? Well, why not. 1 minute...2...5...10..watch an episode of it's always sunny...yepp, it's hung. Great. Oh, and don't disconnect whatever you do! Well, I've got no choice.

My beautiful "utility" is now a paperweight for postage stamps. It functions as a memory card (I appreciate that it didn't trash my photos) but nada else. The most expensive 2gig SD card on the market!

Next report: Eye-Fi customer service. =)
