I’m curious about other flickr users behaviors… When you get an email notice that someone has seleted you as a contact, do you:
* immediately accept (”I want to be friends with everybody”)
* check out their photos first (”Oh my gawd, they collect photos of ________!”)
* wait a while (”I am trying to get some work [...]

Hah! Just plain geeky fun crazy. What would happen if I tagged this in del.icio.us? asked Kotke in del.icio.us will eat itself.
I won’t give it away, but you have to have some sense of del.geek.i.ness to appreciate it. And it smells like a case of an attempt at recursion without the terminal condition to [...]

I’m not sure where or why I would ever do this, so put this in the category of “curious, but some day I will slap my hand on my forehead and say, ‘I have a need for this’!”
RSS2GIF can render, dynamically (I guess) the headlines of an RSS feed as an image, so you could [...]

There seems to be no end to the toys, tools, and cool add-ons that flickr spawns, simply by allowing its programming interface to be available to outside developers. The latest, is Splashr, billed humbly as “a tool for presenting Flickr photos.” Flickr, already allows you to create slide shows from your recnt photos, photos from [...]

Of the things I hang on my personal Google home page (well you cannot see it beyond a snapshot, but, it is how you can create a mashup of content from many sources, feeds, photos, gmail, search tools. totally customizable), my favorite is the flickr photo wallet module.
Very simply, everytime you go “home” you see [...]

And here I thought Spell With flickr was the best thing since milk bones– that ’s nothing compared to geoGreeting, which converts a string of text into one built form letters formed from the shapes of streets, buildings, landforms found from images in Google Map satellite views.
You just type the message, and geoGreeting generates a [...]

It was close to a year ago I moved this blog, it’s predecessor, and some of my old vintage 1990s home page from servers I maintained when I was at Maricopa. Before I left, the old “Jade” server was running, and I set up some htaccess redirects to send requests to their proper new places. [...]

Updated WordPress. Time on task, about 4 minutes. Easy-Peasy. Now I need to tend to a few other WP sites I have laying around elsewhere,

I am sure there are things like this out there, but when I was doing my simple stats for flickr tagging, I took the very inefficient method of paging through the flickr tag pages and listing unique user names.
Surely there is some flickr tool that can tell how many unique users have used a specific [...]

As a follow-up to my post on small numbers of people doing tagging, as of today, for our NMC Regional Conference held last week in San Antonio, we have tagged in flickr 393 photos from 11 individuals, more than we had at our summer conference in Cleveland where the attendence was 3 times as [...]
