I’m on a bit of a Power Week v2 right now.? I’m trying to find out how many images I can get uploaded in a week – from editing, keywording, uploading & submitting.
Here’s the issue – you run into bottlenecks, tie-ups – places that slow you down.? It doesn’t matter where that place is, somewhere along the line you will hit it if you’re fast enough.?

Hacked? That sucks.
We were hacked and deleted.? Completely deleted.? No backups, no MySQL database, no files, no text.? All posts, all info – gone.? I’ll get back to writing as quickly as I can but I have about 20 sites to bring back live.? This is one of the earlier ones – don’t you feel special?

I?m a chronic measurer.? I need to know how much, how long, how many, how can I?? I measure my speed editing weddings, I measure my speed editing a portrait shoot, I measure how many images we take vs. keep, how many we shoot at a portrait session vs. a stock session.? I measure EVERYTHING.? How long my cards take to DL, how long it takes LR to import them.? I can make better decisions if I have more information.
SO – one thing I have no information on is the …
