March 27, 2008 (8:00:00 PM) - 1 year, 8 months ago

With fires, thefts, and natural disasters it is a good idea to have a home inventory. In this video I am going to show you how to inventory your house using a digital camera and F-Spot on a Linux desktop.

The video covers the following:

Taking photos and retrieving serial numbers.
Importing photos into F-Spot.
How to tag and organize photos with F-Spot.
Configuring F-Spot to store comments and tags inside of each photo's metadata.
Using comments in F-Spot to store serial numbers and descriptions.
Making a backup of the photos to go off-site: copy to a USB drive. post to Flickr or Picasaweb, burning to disc.
