iPad Home Screen After One Week

nobody@flickr.com (swanksalot) — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:38:06 -0700

swanksalot posted a photo:

most of these apps I use every day, albeit so far. Since there are no easy way to organize Apps until iPhone OS 4, I have all of my image-altering apps on a different screen, all of my weather apps on a different screen, etc.

NetNewsWire and Twitterific just didn't make the cut, they are on the second page, along with Netflix, Reuters, SketchBook, and others.

Flickr's new map also lists somewhere called Duncan's Addition. Weird. (sorry, Duncans Addition, apparently there are several Duncans)

Joe M500 ( www.flickr.com/photos/m500/2759822591 )
pointed out Flickr's new mapping system has some crazy neighborhood names. Where the hell is Carpenters Addition?

(And there is no apostrophe, so there are apparently several carpenters nearby who've been added.)

Kind of weird, no? Some sort of automated bot? or what? Wish Yahoo provided better analytic tools…

Do you have something similar? (provided you have a “Pro” account)

Pointless statistics are the best, Jerry! The best! / Kenny Bania voice

Seriously, thanks for looking at all my photo experiments since July, 2004. I think I've gotten much better at composing and processing photographs over the years - which is a polite way of saying some of my earlier photos are embarrassingly bad.

And to be honest, a good portion of my traffic is from this image:
www.flickr.com/photos/swanksalot/211332277/

so I can't get too full of myself…

The Atlantic credits my photo to someone else

I have a Google alert for the Haymarket Riot, so noticed that the Atlantic blogged about it. Unfortunately, for some reason, some one else was credited for use of my photo.

www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/05/what-does...

If you look at the photo, it still has my copyright embedded in the EXIF data, and there is my signature! I wonder if this guy has used my photo elsewhere too?

I contacted both the author, and Yoni Goldstein. Let's see how long it takes to correct the record.

Flickr Map Troubles

I've been having troubles loading Flickr maps for the last few days. I wonder if there is some new features being worked on behind the scenes? Or something else?

that's pretty funny. Whoever runs this group is pretty sensitive to criticism. Even criticism from Flickr contacts…

Flickr Stats are half-good, half useless

Pet peeve: look at the circled referrers.

Especially bothersome when such a large portion of a day's views come from Unknown Source.

Why can't Flickr upgrade this information? Maybe just for Pro accounts or something.

I mean, the fireworks shots are sort of weak/cliche, and the photo of my bike is very lame.
