Birthday Ecards

User Accounts - Another Update

Hi - sorry - I have decided not to remove the user accounts part of the site. Apologies for the confusion - the update from 27th October 2018 no longer applies.

Future Send Dates

I have decided to retain the facility to allow people to send ecards with a future send-date. This facility will still be available even after the user-accounts side of the site is removed at the start of 2019.

You will still be able to send ecards with a future send-date, and use the ecard history by email page to get a list of ecards you have sent and from there, either preview or delete them.

User Account Update

User Account Update - October 2018

• Unfortunately the ecards part of this site is no longer very busy and the upkeep of the user account side of the site is no longer cost-effective.


• Therefore all jimpix user accounts will be deleted on 1st January 2019.


• All associated data such as reminders, email addresses in your address book and ecards older than 1 month old will be deleted.


• Please make copies of any data you don't want to lose.


• Until that time, you will no longer be able to send ecards with a future send-date, edit or copy cards, or do anything else that was previously associated with the user-account side of the site.


• Ecards which have already been queued to be sent with a future send-date will be honoured and sent at the appropriate time


• You will still be able to send ecards after the user-account side of the site has gone, but just as a "regular" user...

Africa Photos

You might be forgiven for thinking that the jimpix site is a dead zone, with no update since December 2016. I've added 198 new photo ecards this evening. They're also available in gallery format. In October last year my family and I were fortunate enough to go on holiday to South Africa and Botswana for 10 days. I've finally sorted the photos out and put them on the site.

Alive

A new video ecard, Alive

We traveled three weeks through the northern Himalayas of India, from Himachal Pradesh to Kashmir. It was a journey from valleys to peaks up to 5000m. We experienced a massive amount of different cultures, three major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, met incredible people, saw never seen before nature and walked right next to the wildest animals. It´s nearly impossible to recreate this experience and our feelings and to compress it to just 3 minutes. So I tried to express the spirit of our journey. What we felt more than anything else, is to be alive.

Beautiful!

Love, Dad

No update since July! Sorry for the lack of updates.

I added a very powerful short film this evening called Love, Dad. You can read more about it on Short of the Week:

But this sums it up:

On the outskirts of Cairo, lies an entire city made out of, and built on top of discarded trash. It’s home to the Zabaleen - ‘people of the garbage’ - who collect, and recycle everything from old food, plastic wrappers, tires, to aluminum cans. Each family has a specific role, from the smallest child to the oldest grandparent, sorting the waste and continuing the family business. 25 years ago, A woman named Maggie Groban, known as ‘Mama Maggie,’ did something unexpected. She started a school right in the heart of Garbage City. A first for the Zabaleen. Suddenly, families had a hard choice to make. One that would surely cost them immediate profit loss by not putting the kids to work. However, a few brave parents took a risk - and put their kids in school.
