I’ve got a number of my code projects on github mainly as a place just to have the code, and some documentation too. Most of them are the SPLOT wordpress stuff I have done this year Besides, it’s the thing to do. That said, they see as far as I can see little activity besides […]
Promoting and building tools for attribution of media may be one of the longest hobby horses running around this blog. I never got linktribution nor thanktribution to catch on. To me much of the problem with the way media reuse, copyright is taught is based on fear-if you use a copyrighted image, you will get […]
Not long ago Flickr added two more options for published photos choosing creative commons licenses, both CC0 and a Public Domain. This is a good thing, even if to me it adds more confusion as to which Public Domain license (both are PD licenses with differences perhaps requiring close readings with a lawyer) one might […]
The flickr cc attribution helper is among my most proud creations; I can pretty much tell when I read other blogs who is using it. And it all started from the most important place, something to make my blogging practice easier. I’d written earlier about an unintended outcome of moving it from a browser extension […]
Add to that sign… “NO STEALING OF ONLINE IMAGES.” In my hobbled opinion the problem about reuse of media is copyright. Duh. No not what you think; our framing of what one should use openly licensed content is nearly always […]
Right there is a test of new flavor of my flickr cc attribution helper where it generates copy/paste code to put the image in a wordpress post, but place the attribution text in a WordPress image caption structure. This is the default output using the regular version of the helper, but in making a new […]
Of all things, this story begins in Facebook, I place I scan but do not “like”. In the stream, one of my Australia friends shared a link to a story about coeliac disease, not something I usually read much about. UPDATE: Attribution won, see below. But I know that cutting board, knife, and lumpy loaf […]
cc licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog A few days ago I bemoaned, whinged, the changes at flickr that rendered my flickr cc attribution helper tool DOA. At the mercy of third party providers who take a great service and just yank it away (ahem Google– Reader; ahem Twitter– posterous; the list […]
Since 2009 I have maintained what was once just a greasemonkey script, but later a chrome extension that was designed primarily to help me blog with flickr creative commons attribution photos (it provided a string of text with proper attribution, license, and the img tag to embed the image). As of yesterday, when apparently yahoo […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Tom Sigh, I found a case where my script was not working (it was for photo ownsers who never set themselves a nickname). I had to dig in deeper than I have gone with XPath, and was mostly my own ignorance as to whay I […]
