Google+ automatically emails everyone when you upload photos

Today I found out the hard way that if you ever tick the email notification button when sharing photos in Google+, this somehow then gets recorded as your default setting. When you subsequently upload photos in Picasa and add circles to be able to view them, it then uses your default setting and emails EVERYONE in your circles that you added.

This has been highly embarrassing. I added an album in Google Plus yesterday and ticked the box to email notify family members. Today I uploaded some more photos in Picasa only to find everyone has been spammed. This is very uncool. Google need to fix this ASAP!

I’ve just launched an HDR Photography Forum. This will be a place for the HDR community to gather and discuss all thing from cameras to photo techniques. Please stop by and say hi. Although there are many general photography forums out there, I thought we should have a space dedicated to HDR photography specifically.

At the moment the site is very much a work in progress but I hope to make it grow over time.

Black border problem using HMDI overscan / underscan with AMD card

If you are using an AMD (ATI) graphics card and getting a black border or zoomed out effect when connected to your monitor using HDMI, you need to adjust the overscan setting in catalyst control panel. Further more you need to do this for every different refresh rate and resolution to fix the problem in 3d modeslike running games fullscreen.

Open Catalyst, drop down graphics and select ‘Desktop & Displays’. Then right click on the small screen at the bottom and click configure. Enable GPU scaling, then click on the ‘Scaling Options’ tab and set underscan to 0%. Click apply. Don’t close the window.

Now right click on the windows desktop. Select screen resolution and advanced settings. Select monitor and change the refresh rate to all the different rates. For each one, apply, then go back into catalyst and set the underscan setting to 0% again. Repeat for all desired combinations of resolution and refresh rate.

Now the borders should have gone.

To install sopcast player you need to add the following repository. (Thanks to Roberto @ llfl)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/sopcast
sudo apt-get update

Then, install sopcast-player as follows:

sudo apt-get install sopcast-player

Finally you will need to set up Chrome (Chromium) to link to sopcast links from websites.

gconftool-2 –set –type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/sop/command ‘sopcast-player “%s”‘
gconftool-2 –set –type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/sop/enabled true
gconftool-2 –set –type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/sop/need-terminal false

You can now enjoy moments like seeing Arsenal score in the 87th minute against West Ham like I just did thanks to MyP2P.eu
