Five Card Flickr Stories… Keeps on Ticking
It’s been years since I even looked at my own site. I made Five Card Flickr Stories back in 2008 (early blog post). It’s likely the first site I built using an API, and because flickr (who always gets sand kicked in their face) is one of the few web services that has not crapped […]

Weird Flickr URL Trick
I present to you a URL oddity of no significant value. Impress and amaze your friends. And it happened pretty much because of a typo. Ok, here is a URL for one of my recent photos (I kind of like it) (shameless self promotion): https://www.flickr.com/photos/cogdog/32331643261/ It’s a normal, current flickr page: Now… add an extraneous […]

Never say never. Never say never multiple times. Never blog about saying never. Never. Ever. On December 19, 2006 I blogged about putting a CC-BY license on my flickr photos.

Party on! Flickr Notes are BAAAAACK!

Forking Your Way into the Flickr CC Attribution Helper
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 […]

Here is a Flickr Trickr
Free tricks. If you have ever downloaded a flickr photo or come across in blogs a link to the image URL, it will be something cryptic like: 19172144641_71660f5fdb_z.jpg You have no idea who it belongs to, or where it lives in flickr. But there is a trick you can do to back out this info. […]
