Hi,

Problems have occurred in the process of uploading photos.

I thought that I could use picasa, but their terms of use downright make it so that it's not a good idea to use it:

By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through Picasa Web Albums, you grant Google a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, adapt, distribute and publish such Content through Picasa Web Albums, including RSS or other content feeds offered through Picasa Web Albums, and other Google services. In addition, by submitting, posting or displaying Content which is intended to be available to the general public, you grant Google a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, adapt, distribute and publish such Content for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting Google services.

There's Flicker, but how good is it for rights and stuff ?

If anyone has a server where I could put some pictures on and it would allow simple file listing, that would be awesome as my own ISP doesn't have indexing..

ps:

I'll tinker homemade indexes, but that'll postpone the date when pics are posted. I wish I had internet at my friends place

I am sorry.

Vihis -
Take it from me, as a lawyer - you are going to find this kind of language on all of the major service providers. All it is really saying is that they can publish your photos to the general public, which is what the service is all about, really. It does NOT give them any ownership rights to the content - just reproduction rights, so you will remain the owner (copyright) of the photos.

If you are still concerned, talk to some of the people at Daikoku tonight about how they protect their work. Russ, Dino, etc. should have some ideas, for example putting your name and the words "Copyright 2008" in the photo somewhere.

Any time you show pictures on the internet, anybody can copy them - just a fact of life. No biggie.

I use Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket it's free and easy to join and start uploading pics.

See you guys tonight at Daikoku.

[Vihis]

Well, atleast I had time to do something, so here we go, at least half or so of the pictures













Due to these unforeseen circumstances, I am sorry to say that this is all I had time for today, now I must leave to home to get ready for Daikoku. I'll try to make haste to post you guys the rest of the pictures tomorrow before leaving for Shizuoka.

See you later

Vihis - FANTASTIC PICTURES!!! Thank you so much!!! The action shots are especially nice! (May I use some on my blog - I will credit you, of course!) Forget being an engineer, you should be a photographer!

Also - great to see you again tonight, even though just briefly - I hope you were able to enjoy Daikoku, and the Z-cars that showed up!

Again, feel free to call when you have time - at the very least, let's grab a drink before you leave Japan!

Due to feedback, I am going to go through the pictures again. They were a bit too big.

Here're some smaller ones about the rest of the cars that blasted around the track:

Vihis - Great pictures ! I hope to update my webpage this weekend if you don't mind me using them....

[Vihis]

oh these or the ones I posted earlier ? Go ahead nick ! I can also send you better sized ones and so on a bit later next week when I actually have a connection. (the 1000 something resolution ones were a tad too big.

Also Aki, if you want the pictures sent to you or so, please just pm me with an address to send them to. feel free to post them to your blog also, glad that they please

[Miguel - Newera]

OK, I have my new ignition parts in. Yay!

So I'm toying with the idea of going up to Hakkone earlyish on Sunday evening (Weather permitting), where I know a tight mountain road with lots of tight hairpins, to practice the techniques we learnt at the circuit ... Anyone fancy joining me? The more the merrier...
