flickr withdrawal

Posted on by


it all started right before i headed from work.

flickr was down. (everytime something like this happens i picture the effiminate dude from Airplane! holding the plug talking about “just kidding!” lol)

it continues now at 8:00PM PST (poor east coasters whose night is already ruined)

still down. :(

as i pine for a flickr personal edition ;)

on the upside, it appears that the actual photo servers either are redundant, or back up.

as well, i found tonight what i was gonna start writing as a first pass of a personal flickr:

wordpress flickr plugin.

yikes looks as if i may permanently drop menalto gallery in the months to come… :’(

this is one fine massage flickr’s going through…

BACK UP AS OF 9:30P.M. PST!

    yeah these massages are a bitch. not quite as bad a mentallo gallery wacking a couple gigs worth of meta data from my photo albums. eventually i’ll get that code together to import the photos to flickr.

    Tell me about it. It’s 5:25am in the morning where I live, and I’m sitting here hitting F5 for hours on end. What a cruel world.

    lol @mrfranz — i am with you.

    yeah i’m torn between the two–on the one hand i have enough disk space to host all my pics on my host (and i know they do backups, and where they keep them) — but flickr is just So Easy, and Fun to Use.

    viva la flickr API (which i had only discovered this weekend)

    Flickr has been down since I left for class this morning. Everything is just different, without Flickr.

    I posted a sharp rebuke (tongue in cheek) to Flickr, with a revised logo (which anyone is welcome to distribute), here.

    LaRosa — what kind do you have? I’ve seen some cracking photos on flickr with the illest of cameras.
