After much deliberation I’ve finally decided to move the development of the Flickr Screensaver over to the Codeplex web site. This means that if you’re really sad you can now see the source code for the screensaver.

Also, if you have any problems with it that’s the best place to post a bug report or feature request.

Currently, its the same version that downloadable from here, but once its a new version I’ll change the link on this web site to point to the Codeplex web site instead.

Flickr .Net Screensaver

The latest version of the Flickr.Net API library has been released. Its finally got full support for the Compact Framework in the source code (.Net Framework 2.0 SP 1 and later).

As usual, let me know (hopefully via the Codeplex web site) if you’ve got any problems.

FlickrNet API Library

I’ve finally got around to releasing a new version of my screensaver. It unfortunately doesn’t add much functionality, but it should get around the “threading” error, as well as fix a bug or two elsewhere.

[Download Flickr Screensaver 4.1 (420k)]

As usual, let me know if you have any problems.

Title says it all really, the Flickr.Net API Library has been used to produce a very nice styling and templating demo for the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Its called ‘PhotoStore’.

Discovered a copy of my Flickr.Net beginners article in spanish portuguese on the Brasil microsoft web site today. How cool is that.

Edit: OK, so Brazilians speak portuguese, but it is available in Spanish as well here.

Thanks to Nick (heatxsink) the Flickr.Net source code in now included in the latest Mono source code. That means anyone using the latest version of mono will be able to use the Flickr.Net library to interogate Flickr.

Wow, its a bit like being included in the .Net Framework – feels weird.

In Mono its known as flickr-sharp.

Beginning Flickr Mashups, the book I worked on as Technical Editor last year is finally available for publishing. It covers a wide variety of Flickr Mashups including mixing Flickr with RSS, Technorati and Google Maps. Most of the code uses PHP and HTML/Javascript with a bit of Perl for command line tools.

I’ve not got myself a copy yet, but its on order. Technical editors don’t seem to get free ones :)

And David Wilkinson is every technical editors dream writer – almost all of his code examples worked first go and he had a very thorough understanding of what he was trying to do, so my thanks go to him. Dave’s Flickr Photos.
