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 […]
The sky over Flagstaff Arizona today was actually crystal clear, but if you had appropriate x-ray glasses on you may have spotted some tag clouds, sprinkled with some Canadian flair. Is that too vague an opening blog post? Okay, today I had the sheer pleasure and honor to co-present, and that verb is used loosely, […]
flickr foto Brother and Sisteravailable on flickr Today is Cadu’s birthday! She (black lab on the left) and Mickey (right) were from the same litter, though differed in just about every other form factor. Cadu will be 5 today; Mickey is forever frozen at 2 and a half. Doggie party tonight!
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 […]
RSS was the cutting bleeding edge in 2002, or at least it seemed to me. Few people knew what it was if you muttered it (well that has not changed), but very little of the things we are excited about now would have have their oomph without the underlying, humble glue, of RSS, ugly to […]
I don’t know the words, but am ready to make them up. Apple, grant me the serenity to accept the firmware I cannot change; courage to update the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Maybe not. This morning, I installed the latest firmware update for my MacBookPro, and worked through the morning. […]
I am about shoulder deep in trying to learn Drupal as intended for a new platform to implement for the NMC web site– obviously since it can do so much, it lends itself for creating a multi-faceted site with customizable themes, separate domains for different projects, and all the 2.0-ish tools you’d hope are in […]
OR if at first you don’t succeed, search and search again? What started as a simple task chewed up a good hour of time today… Eager to start dabbling in Drupal, I decided to get the needed parts running locally on my MacBookPro. I got MySQL 5.x downloaded and installed. I mucked up my root […]
There’s been more then enough sound and loud reverberations to the DOPA (or is it DOPE-A?) proposal hovering over Washington D.C. to do.. Tom Hoffman has summarized it better than I could under Being Unreasonably Reasonable (and here too): When it comes to dubious web filtering laws like DOPA, I think you should start with […]
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 […]
