Yesterday an apocalyptic bushfire was very close to us. My husband was out with several hundred other volunteer firefighters in temperatures of 44C, and I was preparing to evacuate our home. It was a terrifying day. Many people did lose everything. Australia is currently on fire, and has unprecedented heat. We just had 4 days above 44C here in South Australia. Our Australian government denies climate change and has no plans to deal with this warming climate and fire risk, relying on thousands…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We had to shut down parts of the Google map service at short notice, because the costs have increased dramatically. (Google charged EUR 655 more for March than we budgeted for.) We are now working hard to see whether ipernity can be adapted to cheaper alternatives (OpenStreetMap, Evermaps, Opentopomap, etc.). For the time being,only geo-coordinates will be displayed instead of plain text locations in the location information of the images.…

Manifeste pour la reprogrammation d'ipernity ./. Manifest zur Neuprogrammierung von ipernity ./. As we all know, it is imperative to have the ipernity website reprogrammed from scratch as soon as possible. The necessary adaptations of this website that is ten years old, both in conception and technology, to be technically up to date are getting more and more difficult and expensive. This reprogramming does not focus on changing functionality or design, but on improving the technical basis in order to reduce costs and improve operational reliability. In view of increasing security requirements, the website must also be SSL-encrypted as quickly as possible. In view of changing user habits, it must be better adapted to mobile devices. Of course, the opportunity can also be used to consider long-cherished wishes if they are affordable.

Operational reliability is declining steadily. The necessary adaptations to the state of the art are becoming increasingly difficult and…

Pictures that tell a story in situations that call for you to be like a fly on the wall.

What makes Ipernity an online photo sharing community that works? Read my take on this important and timely subject.

This thank you has been a long time coming, but it comes straight from my heart. As most of you know I had a huge Brain Bleed/Stroke on Friday the 7th of September this year. On that evening my world changed beyond description. I was one of the lucky ones as Jay, my husband, came into my work room and knew the signs of a stroke. (I will come back to this later.) He called 911 and an ambulance came fast. It's a ride I do not remember! But it would be another 5 weeks before I came…
