]]> Comment on Flickr geofences and EXIF metadata by dcoetzee http://blog.moonflare.com/2012/03/12/flickr-geofences-and-exif-metadata/#comment-3940 dcoetzee Sun, 01 Apr 2012 08:23:32 +0000 http://blog.moonflare.com/?p=84#comment-3940 Thanks for the comment, coneslayer. Note that just because Flickr is not showing the GPS EXIF data does not mean it isn't there! They're most likely omitting it because they consider it redundant with the location data displayed on the map. Anyone can still download your original files and view all EXIF metadata using exiftool, including GPS location, unless you follow my instructions above to systematically remove it.

One day recently, I happened to be looking at my photostream while logged out, and I noticed that the geofence was no longer having an effect. Both old and recent photos inside the fence had their location visible to anyone. After submitting a bug report (to which I have not received a response) I edited my geofence, without actually changing anything, and Flickr re-processed my existing photos, and the geofence seems to be working again. You may want to check on yours, just in case it's a widespread problem. 2) When viewing the EXIF for my photos on Flickr, whether the photos are inside the geofence or not, the GPS fields are no longer displayed. I'm pleased to see this development; as you point out, displaying the GPS fields made the whole concept of geofencing kind of pointless. (I didn't want to disable EXIF entirely.)

Most of people got this Permission Denied access when mounting a
Windows Shared folder

following mounting ->

usually : mount -t cifs /// /mnt/Shared -o username=,password=
give you error 13.

correct : mount -t cifs /// /mnt/Shared -o username=/,password=

Yes! the only deference is “domain name:” is missing. In case of No Domain try to put your there.
cifs does not locate domain itself (I guess).
