Flickr Quick Response… the Same Response

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 13th, 2006 5:01 pm

I cannot complains anymore that flickr is not responding to my mad barkings… as the last attempt got a response in just a few hours. Yay!
But the contents or just more of the same… “We think Second Life photos are screen shots, you are still NIPSA”:

Cactifittiavailable on flickr

This is a photo from last year’s trip to Hawaii, but someone found another one from this same place and invited me to share it in a flickr pool devoted to grafitti on plants (who woulda thunk?).
This is near the top of Makapu’u point on Oahu.

I usually wax about the [...]

Caught Redhanded

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 25th, 2006 8:19 pm

Gulp. After telling everyone today about the virtues of using flickr creative commons images, I got caught. I my haste last night to find a banner image for our keynote tag cloud page, I located a nice San Francisco Peaks profile via a creative commons search in Flickrlilli. I did not even register that the [...]

I Have a Bone To Pick With Flickr

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 23rd, 2006 11:52 pm

I have oft professed my deep love for flickr. I have been a user of it since March 2004, when it had that hokey black flash interface. I have uploaded almost 1400 photos, not nearly prolific as some.
But recently I was slapped by one of their policies regarding a new way I was using it [...]

Outta Beta

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 16th, 2006 11:11 pm

It only took like 2+ years, a big Yahoo buy out, and finally they have gotten enough kinks out of flickr to drop the “beta” form the logo– now they are “gamma”:

It caught my eye as soon as I loaded my photos. The changes are subtle (more previews per page, drop down menus to get [...]

Blush.
My flickr photo of the two headed shower at the Horton Plaza Westin (San Diego) is now the banner image at Starwoodlobby.com as part of their review of this hotel:

Flickr Photos Requested

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this March 30th, 2006 7:10 am

Twice this week I’ve gotten requests to use some of my flickr photos (and ironically both photos were taken in San Diego, but on different trips) for use on other web sites. The first was asking to use my Gaslamp photos (1 and 2) for a San Diego tourist guide site (sorry, I lost [...]

Flickr DVD Ordered

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 8th, 2006 10:00 pm

For what its worth, I decided to give the Englaze Flickr Backup to DVD service a try.
Ordering was pretty easy- pick one of the last 200 photos to be printed on the label (I chose my hammock perspective), enter a title, etc, and provide a credit card. I had a shade under 1000 photos, so [...]

Englaze Flickr Backup

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 4th, 2006 11:19 am

Just randomly clicking the new feature links at the bottom of my flickr collection brought me to something I should get around top doing- getting a backup. Hey, what if Yahoo falls into the ocean?
Englaze Archive will create a data DVD backup of your original flickr photos, the original uploaded sizes, and preserve titles [...]

Flickr Upload Bookmarklet

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this September 30th, 2005 11:10 am

For some unknown reason, I was cleaning up my browser bookmark tools. I cannot even remember where I found this, but I had forgotten about one that grabs images from any web page in view, and allows you to then upload any of them to your own flickr account. Going beyond the knee jerk fear/reaction [...]
