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 […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by sn0wcrash I had to make another tiny update to my flickr cc attribution helper script, more or less fixing my own goofs. The thing that was happening was the attribution was not appearing on your own photos (if you were logged into flickr), but […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by Tojosan Long ago when I was working at Maricopa, I called our computer repair department to fix some issue with an Apple computer. I was a bit incredulous when Bill the Repair technician opened the case, and whacked the hard drive with his screwdriver, […]

I always provide links back to the source as attribution for the flickr creative commons photos I use. Today I ran into the not so surprising case of wondering what to do, and what the ramifications for, if the original is no longer there? Here’s the case. A dark night in a web that knows […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by jamelah Mmm, sliced bread! So far maybe 140 people have installed my Flickr Creative Commons Attribution Helper– a GreaseMonkey script for Firefox. I use the sucker almost every day. It takes what used to be about a 5 click, 4 copy/paste operation to give me, in one motion, the […]
This morning I drove down a new coding rode- I’ve never done a Greasemonkey script, so with some help poking around ones I have and Dive into Greasemonkey — here is my crude Flickr CC Attribution Helper. What is does is adds a box on the right side of flickr photo pages — only for […]
It’s good to see a bit more of attribution by linking, or coined here as “Linktribution” in blog posts.
