1 – Connect camera, open Aperture and hit import
2 – Go through each photo, touching up/naming/exporting ones I want
3 – Open FlickrUploader
4 – Drag photos onto FlickrUploader and add tags/descriptions/whatever
5 – Hit upload
6 – Aperture Library gets backed up to external drive by timemachine via FW800 when ever I remember to connect it
7 – Profit

My workflow: 1. Import photos from memory card (never camera - kills battery) to Aperture, using auto-stack (x photos in y seconds = stack) 2. Rate and cull (0 stars = keep, 1 star = maybe post, 2 stars = definitely post, 3 stars = standout, bin if out of focus / horribly exposed /etc) 3. Tag photos using Aperture keywords interface 4. Using fullscreen mode, tweak exposure, rotation, cropping, colour in that order. Touch up dust specks if needed. 5. Select photos for upload and feed them to FlickrExport for Aperture. Choose titles, sets, privacy etc. Upload. 6. Back up Aperture library to an Aperture Vault on external drive. 7. Local Aperture library gets backed up by Time Machine a few times a day. I've experimented with keeping my photos on a NAS but the latency tends to make actually DOING things with them quite painful. Local storage FTW, generally. I think we're still a way off cloud storage being practical for multi-GB collections of photos (free? hah!) but NetGear are working on something for their ReadyNAS line...

Hi David,

It progressed to the point where I built a basic iPhone web app front end for it. This runs at: http://bustrackr.co.uk and just calls the API behind the scenes.

I’ve noticed that a couple of iPhone apps have popped up on the scene:

http://www.busesapp.com/ & http://www.apptism.com/apps/edinbus

Buses app whilst technically more accomplished is not free, which I don’t particularly agree with.

hey are you still developing this, or have you stopped… I would like to see how far you progressed with it and also look into further development of it, including creating an android app..

Let me know

Bummer! Bad luck there, not really a lot you can do with a trashed file system.

Ahh backups, such fun to set up and check! Good ole rsync is doing well for me…

I like the look of Xeriom, if I end up switching they’re high on the list!
