CiviCRM
Uncertain times
Society is changing in many different ways.
We are in the middle of a transition from an industrialised economy to a network economy. The big political ideologies seem to be gone for good. We are also in the middle of an economic crisis and maybe at the start of an ecological one. Philosophy changed from certainty to post-modernism and maybe even to something after that.
The similarity between all those changes is the increase of uncertainty. Uncertainty is of course always part of changes, but it seems there is more to it.
Professional Survey with CiviCRM and Drupal via Webform
CiviCRM (www.civicrm.org) is a nice Open Source CRM which is very well integrated in drupal. To create a Survey with CiviCRM you start with creating the questions as custom fields. An obvious choice would be to then create a CiviCRM profile. But a CiviCRM profile does not allow you to have more then one page in one Survey, or to have Conditional questions, depending on previous answers.
Iphone photo/video sync
Finally I found a proper way to sync my > 4000 photo's and video's from my Iphone to my Linux PC.
I tried quite a few apps, but the one that works for me is PhotoSync ( http://photosync-app.com/ ).
When I installed it it has options for webtransfer (but that needed a lot more memory then I had), but also for ftp/sftp.
PhotoSync can sync pictures to any ftp/sftp server.
My own ubuntu pc did not have an ftp server.
So, on my own pc I installed "openssh-server" with
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
