Desolation - a photoset on Flickr

A photoshoot, photoshot in Folkestone. At the Rotunda. Not sure about that bloody great cleaver...Found this while trying out this Postcard browser that someone's written, really it's just searching Flickr for Folkestone....

Steganography + Flickr

Using the power of steganography, you can store ANYTHING at flickr.com. Smart! I really might upgrade to a pro account.

She's already one of my flickr buddies

Cheers!

Obligatory world cup post

World cup, a bit of a tense game, we just about got there in the end. There are some bad people out there:An internet company which sold fake World Cup tickets to children may have made more than �60,000 in the scam.Nearly 400 schoolchildren from acr...

Flickr, now with built in geocoding

Organize your flickr pics here, see, now you can map them direct from Organizr. Shame it's Yahoo maps (Yahoo own Flickr, they don't have detailed coverage of the UK.Back to my PHP - I've just rewritten my AJAX popup menu thing so the backend is now s...

Have a look at Amsterdam

Just a little panoramic swoop of a nice and Amsterdammy bit of Amsterdam. There's a canal, there's a windmill, there are probably prostitutes too if you squint hard enough: Some more pictures here didn't really take the camera out much....

A tour of our earthquake damage

In case an insurance assesor wants to see them, and I know Dad does: Mostly high up shots of the ceiling, not really a nice way to view our flat, but at least there's no danger of catching me partially dressed in a mirror or shiny kettle. Zoom i...

More food porn available on flickr now

Though I doubt you'll be too impressed, being vegan and that.Lyon was great, had to miss a day cos the flight got cancelled, which was annoying, but I did get the card of a lovely lady from Ernst & Young. Now to bring up the courage to email her......

Cool bag

This bag is a strictly limited edtion from a local shop in Folkestone, it's made from leftover (unused) London tube train seat material:Retro and recycled and local and cool, all in one, nice. Via keetsa.com, some sort of enviro-blog I think.While I'...

I need to get rid of some of those flickr slideshows...

Can't tell what the domain is from here because it's inside this building. Can you see holidayextras.co.uk?

Right, those spare flickr slideshows are gone now...

Good work Trish, here's your picture of the Pretty Things

I hosted it on flickr.com:Do you have a confirmed date for this gig yet? I bet you wrote it in your diary, or maybe it's on the back of the photo? Was it 1967?...

Excellent Folkestone gig history history from Patricia Duke (nee Brown)

Got sent a picture of The Pretty Things at the Flamenco Bar, which is now nowPipers, on Tontinee Street... Anyone else got any any old photos like this?...

The Pretty Things in Folkestone

Some pictures I've just been sent, of The Pretty Things when they played at Micks' Flamenco Bar (now better known as Pipers) in 1967:That last photo was taken outside George Robey's the tobacconist a couple of doors down from the club.The next two we...

Squirrel in St Eanswythe's churchyard

Taken on Sunday, with the new camera.Neither the face detection nor the smile shutter works on squirrels, you can do manual focussing with the touch screen though....

Yeah, want to go halves?

This is the only house we went to see inside:

thought it might be a bit rude to take pictures inside on the first viewing though...

Flood-tastic

Here's today's walk to work:That's not a stream or anything, just rain water.Operation Stack still in effect, lots of people were held up on their way in here today....

[Crystal maze themed headline here]

Got home yesterday to find a new front door being fitted, it's amazing what you miss when you don't go to any of the residents meetings. So firstly, we have the inconvenience of only getting one key with this door, and new ones are fifteen pounds eac...

Flickr interactive adventure game

I haven't made one, but I was just attaching some notes to this picture (think you have to be logged into Flickr to see them, and using the notes to contextually link to other pictures, and it made me think, couldn't someone write some kind of advent...

Photo notes

This aquariam post is using the Flickr style notes, but using PhotoNotes, still seems there's no way of getting your existing notes out of Flickr.Changing the way I use my images on here, to make sure I'm not breaching Flickr's terms of service, migh...

Photoshop Express

Free online photoshop? More like a rival to Flickr really, host your pictures and do simple editing of them. Guessing most people use photoshop for more heavy-duty monkey business that Potatoshop Express won't do. I use GIMP (though not very often an...

What editing do Flickr have built in though?

I can only think of rotating, and that's in flash for some reason.

UPDATE: oh yeah I see the picnik editor now.

RE: What editing do Flickr have built in though?

I think Piknik is great - started using it before Flickr got an agreement to embed it. Loads of nice features in there.

Ooh, Flickr video

I didn't know about this. 90 second limit for your videos though, usually that's enough for funny little bits I've shot myself that I might want to share, like the nieces on their new bikes or Pauline's kitten, I will give this a try later.Update: An...

If my own pictures are too dangerous and controversial for you

Have a look at someone else's pictures of Folkestone. Looks to me they did all of the Triennial things that we did in just the same order, but the differences here are (I think) they visited Folkestone especially for this (so The Triennial is working...

If you google for Kaddy Lee-Preston

You are instantly served up a picture of me, lovely... That's my all time most popular picture on Flickr, just browsing my stats. Here's the rest of the top ten, with their number of views. Kaddy Lee-Preston and me (4,578)music quiz* (3,106)Jellyfis...

Flickr videos now available in HD

See here, illustrated with a lovely video of a squirrel too, that's really why I'm posting this. ...

RE: How do I geocode my photos automatically for free?

Someone on flickr.com recommended geosetter, which seems to have done the trick so far. Will try jetphotosoft.com too, see which one works most smoothly... geosetter automatically tags images with the looked up name of the town and country nearest to...

Harry Clarke pool on Flickr

See here. A M Thomson is preparing a list of all the Harry Clarke windows in Ireland and the UK:The bulk of Clarke's work is to be found in Ireland, but a few very signicant pieces can be seen at the following places:-Cambridgeshire: Ely Stained Glas...

Civil liberties are quite good, m'kay

Completely addicted to the new version of Picasa I can't stop going through my photos, mostly through the "unnamed people". Seeing a) who it can't recognise that I can help out with, b) who it has recognised even when they don't look like themselves,...

So Flickr has face tagging now too?

I bet there is no standard to this, what a shame... I have face tagged all my photos at home now, but it doesn't look like Picasa stores the info on the person in the picture in the image file itself :-(Here's a pic tagged with me in Flickr, this was...
