Very last thing I did was download all of my photos from SmugMug, Flickr, Instagram, IMGUR and I had some old archives from Facebook/Twitpic. I de-duped them using PowerPhotos2 and found a few I had uploaded from iPhone but had not stored in iCloud. …anyway, this has been a LOT of work.

Once all of my photos are up in the cloud, I’ll start organizing and cataloguing (by year/month/tags) all of the videos. It’s a LOT. But then I’ll have all of my photos in iCloud + NAS (@ home) + Prime Photos. And I’ll be deleting all videos from iCloud Photos since the most storage Apple will sell …

This project involves at least backing up all images to the cloud. I’m relenting by going through Prime Photos since it’s free as a prime user. Roughly 4 terabytes of photos are uploading to prime now. Thanks to my fiber connection, I’ve uploaded about 1 terabyte of them in 2 days. Local copies of …

My weekend project which is continuing over the next few weeks has been to get my photo storage under control. 1.8 terabytes in iCloud Photos (1TB of which is video) 128,000 JPEGs in iCloud 50,000 RAW (CR2/DNG) files in Lightroom 20 additional terabytes of videos which I created and made a copy up …

I HAVE been doing more writing lately as my shoulder has improved. Feels good to write again. Returning back to the office tomorrow after being home for 6 weeks. It’s time.

I have missed a few #OneSentenceMovieReview posts lately. I’m sorry. Maybe the trend is dying? Either way, Blackberry, solid movie. I laughed more than I should. Glenn was fantastic and while it was dramatized, it was an accurate film.

@gene Great menu, Gene!

Officially 5 weeks from surgery and I can finally lift my arm up to shoulder level. I have to prove to the doctor next week I can hold a steering wheel at 10 and 2 to be cleared to drive and we did it 6 days early! Thanks physical therapy team who I’ve been seeing 3 times a week.

@ev I know I’m the crazy one but I have notifications delived silently for all messages and emails except my spouse and boss. then it’s my choice to pick up my device to review what’s new. Apple devices do display the unread count on the icon. Second personal rule, after 3 text messages I’m calling …

One of the favorite dance festival photos I’ve ever taken. I loved this person’s light up face mask.

Went to a dance festival this weekend. No professional cameras allowed. Good thing I didn’t bring mine - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamjackson/albums/72177720308074329

@mjtsai thank you!

This is my first day back at the office at 4 weeks to the day since my surgery. It’s been tough at times but nice to be back with people after being home. I’m going to try to come in a few days next week.

@mjtsai I have a very large Synology NAS (nearly 100 terabytes) and manually export originals from iPhoto once a quarter to it for safe-keeping. This has me thinking, it may be easier to have a Mac mini and just check the “keep originals” button instead but it’d need 2 terabytes of storage to do …

Back in The office.

Charlotte didn’t win tonight but it was a good game.

Hmm. Most of the photos didn't upload. I've fixed the glitch - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamjackson/?

@Alexbrooks @gruber but he’s right. Many millions of us have two accounts who had iTools back in the day. Amazing that apple has offered no way to merge them yet.
