A twitter friend sent me an invite to Pinterest, as I’m interested in what it does. However, do far, all it has done is annoy me! Clicking the link from the email, the first thing it offered was the ability to sign in with Facebook or Twitter. There was no alternative way of creating an […]
Flickr Printing
You can now print from Flickr (or you can if in the US, other markets to follow). But even though I can’t print my photos, any contact I have in the US can. good extension to the service – reduces the activity required to get things done.
Unmerged Flickr
With all the problems around the merger of Flickr and Yahoo IDs, Flickr have proved why they have such a fanatical following by unmerging the accounts of anyone who asks.

London Flickr Meetup

Heavenly images

Photo Usage
I got asked today by someone wanting to use one of my images of Chiswick on a site that supports a language school here in Chiswick. I’m happy to do this – they asked!
Borrowing
I see in the logs that one nice person has been ‘borrowing’ one of the images on the blog to provide a background image. So I’ve changed it to reflect his attittudes. Here’s the image as it now appears. I would not mind if he’d asked and then hosted on his server, but not when […]
Doc World
Spurred on by Doc Searl’s aerial photos over the last few months, I took some photos out of the plane window on the trip back. And now he mentioned this project over at Irish Eyes, so I’ve added some photos to the set on Flickr.
