There’s something to be said for making your own tech tools; you certainly know quickly if something goes awry (though you cannot complain much about the tool provider). Something I made first almost 10 years ago is the flickr cc attribution helper. If you take on the task some think too arduous to give credit […]
With no apologies to Casey… One of my favorite home-spun projects that joys me to see in the world is people using my Flickr CC Attribution Helper, a tool I really built for me to make it easy to quickly form well-constructed and consistent attributions from open licensed flickr images. It’s a simple browser bookmarklet […]
Working on the Creative Commons Certification project I keep falling deeper into the nuances of attribution. Just in the last weeks, I have updated my flickr cc attribution helper to add options use the CC Best Practices (TASL) approach as well to make a cut and paste approach to work for medium.com publishing. It came […]
Note: I posted this first on medium.com intended as a demo for this blog post. But it took a day to get around to this, so it might look like I am writing my stuff there. Not. This blog always comes first. Sort of. I often feel lonely fighting for attribution for photos openly shared […]
Because I use it almost daily, I have to admit that my favorite tool I built is the flickr CC Attribution Helper which makes attributing Creative Commons licensed flickr photos a one click copy / paste operation. The thing about attribution is that there are no fixed rules for how to do it, and if […]
In my last long scroll post I went over the steps for forking and editing a silly GitHub page to mess with the lyrics of “Home on the Range.” That is like, so, not really useful. This one might not be either. But it could be fun. When you use a bookmarklet tool created with […]
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 […]
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 […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]
