Don’t fake friend me

Someone on Flickr added me as a contact — and promptly removed me — knowing very well that I’d get notified about the new contact.
Not cool and very sleazy.
I had one of his photos faved, but not anymore. You’re on my bad list. Good day. I said good day!

Still preferring jUploadr vs the new Flickr Uploader

The new Flickr photo uploader is spiffy because you can now upload more than six photos at once. Unfortunately, they’ll be out of order. I prefer uploading by the order of the date taken (i.e. oldest to newest). jUploadr has supported this for awhile, so I’m sticking with it.
That’s all.

Why I like jUploadr

Ever since I got my Canon PowerShot SD600 Digital Elph, I’ve definitely been using it instead of my camera phone. My camera phone doesn’t embed the Date/Time Taken into the file, so I usually have to edit that in after uploading to Flickr. Basically all standalone digital cameras do.
Which brings me to the point: why [...]

Yay for more Moo Minicards

Thursday, 2006-10-12: Ordered 100-pack of Moo minicards
Tuesday, 2006-10-17: Order shipped
Saturday, 2006-10-21: Order arrived

My Moo minicards were shipped from the U.K. 5 days to print and 4 days in transit is pretty good, don’t you think? Don’t be jealous! (Then again, they’re probably quickening the pace.) I’m stoked because this time around, I wrote a self-description [...]

Got my free Moo Minicards

When I heard about Moo launching Flickr Minicards, I had to get the free sample.
Timeline:

Wednesdsay, 2006-09-20: Free 10-pack of Moo Minicards
Thursday, 2006-09-28: Email confirmation of mailing
Monday, 2006-10-02: They’re here!

I love ‘em! The quality of the photo on the front and the text on the back looks great. The packaging of the cards (not the envelope) [...]

Adding Flickr images to your blog post

Tom Raftery wrote a quick-and-easy guide on how to insert images in his blog posts. In this case, he uses Flickr. (I do, too.)
When I want to use an image in a blog post I use the copy of the image which is stored on Flickr. This has the advantages that:

it saves me diskspace from [...]

jUploadr

I’ve been using Flickr Uploadr ever since I got my Flickr account. However, it hasn’t been improved in a long time.
When I usually upload, I have to change the title and descriptions for the whole lot of photos within the Flickr website.
Enter jUploadr. [via Tom Raftery] In addition to the Flickr Uploadr’s features, you can [...]

Autostitch rocks!

I love Autostitch! Here’s one I took yesterday - it’s huge:

Flickr invite frenzy

I just went on a Flickr invite frenzy. I’m going ballistic, baby! I don’t know if 7 people is a lot, but I figure they join, then they’ll tell their friends, and they’ll tell their friends, and so on, and so on, and so on…
