picasa2flickr - flickr upload plugin for picasa - Installation v2

I have been using picasa for a long time now. I really like the way I can organise and manipulate the pictures I take with it (has google trademarked the phrase "I'm feeling lucky"?). However the only storage that is available is somewhat limited.

I have had a yahoo photo account with unlimited storage since before they bought flickr, so I now have a pro flickr account. The inconvenience has always been moving images from one to the other.

I tried the first version of picasa2flickr and it worked very well, provided you were willing to accept an older version of picasa. I was okay with that.

However I have just noticed (yeah - fast brain I have!) that there is a new version out that uses the latest flickr uploader tool. It seems to be working very well, and can even handle multiple upload sets at the same time.

the sourceforge page for the install process is

The church has left the building...

Whilst typing up this weeks church notice sheet I found the page for Pentecost Festival :: 9th – 11th May 2008.

About two thirds of the way down the page I found a line that has a major resonance with what I understand church to be. "The church has left the building..."
The church is the worldwide collection of Christians, some of whom happen to use buildings to worship God. Hopefully more people will be able to get hold of this and move away from the idea that the church is the physical structure that is used.
