  • shortcut key ‘u’ to get the upload to flickr dialog
  • Hot keys: Now one can assign hotkeys using numeric key board , right now only %f (selected filename) is supported there.

Removing my feed from planet KDE

Posted: 2009/07/12 22:41:31

As I write about many things (which includes all my PyKDE or PyQt apps) some people are seem to be very much offended to read them in Planet KDE.

So, I am just removing my feed to make the planet junk free.

Though I used to get highest number of hits on my screenshots and photos in flickr from planetkde.org :)

Waiting for the signal from a galaxy far far away

Trying to play around with long exposure shots.

This is a 15 seconds shot, taken around 10.39pm IST. As the clouds were moving very fast, they created a nice effect in the sky. No editing done on the show as I took RAW+JPEG.
