MOM'S TV

Mom's Direct TV (Current 2024)

Direct TV device must be on (will have a small white light)

Splitter should be on "2" (push the button until the blue light is in the 2nd/center position). You might have to do this after the power goes out, because it tends to default to factory settings.

Use the Direct TV remote's power button to turn on the TV. 

Hit the "Home" button to go to "Home." Then hit "Guide." Then she can use the remote arrows to scroll up and down through the channels. If she gets on a channel and does not like it, she can hit "Back" to go back.

Downloading Flickr Photos

Flickr Photos 2021: Downloading Flickr Photos...

After Yahoo sold Flickr, downloading my photos seemed near impossible. I had tried requesting zip files, which I did receive, but they wouldn't open. I managed to download many important photos one at a time on PC. 

I was disappointed in the various Flickr apps on Android. None of them provided a way to download photos. A blogger gave me this clue: Go into your Flickr photostream and navigate to Camera Roll. From there, go to each date (I did it one at a time) and check "Select All." Request a zip file. When you receive the zip file, download it to your android phone.

To extract your photos, you will need WinZip or some other utility app. I downloaded WinZip from the Google Play Store. In WinZip, I selected "All Archived Files." It showed me the zip file I had just downloaded. I chose "Extract" and a location. It extracted my photos. I then went to internal storage and moved my photos to another folder (which I had already marked to back up and sync). After I had done all this, I went into my Downloads folder and deleted the original zip file. 

I haven't yet experimented with choosing multiple dates in Flickr to zip and download at one time. It will probably work if I'm careful not to do too many and let the zip file get too big. Also, it's possible I could do it by album. I haven't tried that yet. I'm not surethecCamera Roll menu is accessible in Album view.

Anyway, I feel less panicked than before, but affordable, reliable cloud storage and efficient file organization are still issues for me to overcome.

Documentation Project: February 13, 2021

Documentation Project: summary in my own words: I want to put several of my photos--ones of historical or important genealogical value--into the public domain. However, I want people to be able to see the history and documentation behind the photos: (authenticity and age of the physical object that is the picture, names of the people, how I know that, where I got the actual old picture (not a copy of it). I want people to have the tools to identify the picture, or at least decide if I identified it properly. I want the people to have access to a high-resolution digital scan of the photo. I want to let people use the image freely in unrestricted (or restricted by minimal attribution) commercial or non-commercial ways of their desire.

Steps

*Put a historical picture (e.g., Jethro and Happy) in Flickr. If possible, include documentary statements. Get Wayback to crawl it. 

*Create page on your main site (SM). Name it "Documentation." Follow up with Statement of Purpose.  Write a full explanation of who it is and how you got the picture. Include genealogical and biographical info. You might even include section about Granny, as relates to the photo. Add a link to the Flicker page and add a text version if the Flicker URL on your SM documentation page. Also add a link and long URL to the archived Flickr page. 

*Now archive the SM page and copy the URL. That is the URL you will use for the Creative Commons contact ref. for the related media.

*Don't use short URLs. Apparently some sites can block them even if they have been archived.

Alternatively, study Wikimedia and Wikiversity and see if anything can go there. Probably not, unless it be the picture an connection of the picture to the topic. Because.... anybody anytime could edit it into a completely different, unrelated, unsourced mess.
