Recently I had a passion to hack on my Magento Cookbook project, but the time I wasted, just to get started after 10 month of break, feels like a problem and cause me to start looking for a solution to simplify life for myself and, hopefully, future contributors.

The three week period starts on the Mon 18th June 2012 and if I’ll find enough time I’ll be glad to participate as it’s really a great opportunity to dive into Ubuntu development.
Here I’d like to share some of my ideas.

As a one of those busy peoples with a phone with built-in camera and who also loves to catch and share interesting moments with a friends, family or to keep for myself, I’m always looking to streamline the process as much as possible.
I prefer twitter as my favorite social channel and therefore there is no surprise that twicca is my primary tool for sharing public photos, firstly via yfrog and later via twitpic.
For a private photos, i.e. photos with a limited access, I found the Flickr as a most functional, reliable yet a cost effective service. There also various mobile and desktop apps for the Flickr to make your life even easier.
So far, so good, until recently I’ve been playing with an instant photo upload feature of Google+ App on Android which can be configured to upload all your photos instantly to private album on Google+ as far as you under Wi-Fi network. The only inconvenience I found is the App size(25Mb) which is hurt for my little LG GT540 especially when I’m discovering new apps or a games.
Actually those 25Mb is a fair cost for Google+ App on Android because the app is not limited to instant photo uploading and, as you can expect, it does much more, but not for me, I still prefer Flickr as a mature solution which also clear at pricing and policy, I’ve my vision on the problem and I’ve programming background, so, with all this said, it looks like a good opportunity for me to get started on an Android development.

It also applicable to mobile:
…and web:
Bootstrap from Twitter provides simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions. In other words, it’s a front-end toolkit for faster, more beautiful web development.
