After far too long, and many updates and changes I have finally released a new version of the Flickr.Net API Library source code. As usual it includes all source files, plus debug and release builds of the DLL.

I've had a few requests to get the FlickrNet API Library working in Medium Trust mode under ASP.Net, so I thought I'd look at it. Here lies the tales and tribulations that such a journey took.
What is 'Medium Trust'?
Good darn question. I wasn't actually sure until I looked it up. Basically its a more secure [...]
I'd just like to thank Thomas Hawk who has recently started a new podcast called FlickrNation. Its up to its 3rd episode so far and I just got some serious pimpage. I must say I really get a huge ego boost out of this kinda thing (I must be slightly shallow I guess :) ).
He [...]

I've started up a new blog, which I call Delete Me Resurrection. I'm going to be using it to highlight some of the photos which have failed to be 'saved' by the various voting groups on Flickr which I actually like.
So why [...]
Following a link from the FlickrBlog lead me to the most excellent flickr game I have ever played. Basically it shows you a photo from one of your Flickr contacts and presents you with 3 choices - you pick who's photo you think it is. I seem to be doing quite well at the moment [...]

I've been working on some .Net web controls to place Flickr album-like controls on ASP.Net web pages. This is my first proper release of the code to let anyone who is interested play along. You'll need a copy of Flickr.Net API and the following visual studio project (which includes a debug .DLL).

I'm not really an emotional person in real life, I bottle things up and ignore stuff rather than face things that might make me sad, a form of self defence no doubt.
But sometime, for no apparent reason something will just cause a tear or two to well up in my eyes, touching something deep within. [...]
Hell
Originally uploaded by Shooz.
I'm a co-admin of a wonderful group on Flickr that tries to contain only entrances to the underworld domain of hell. (Being an admin isn't all fun - I have to delete some pictures that don't seem to have anything to [...]
Well after the last upload of source code I finally managed to work out how to log into dragnet, the bug tracker, and discovered a load of bugs had been logged. Damn! (Login as "guest"/"guest")
So I fixed all the changes and am releasing this new version as 1.3.

Nothing major in this release.
What's Next
Well [...]
A while ago I took a photo of a bit of chalked graffiti in Newcastle. There is an old alley (one of a pair) that leads off Pilgrim Street and down to Carliol Square. The chalk graffiti reads "Secret Entrance", with an arrow. Aside from the fact that the alley provides a perhaps little know [...]
Well I've finally got around to releasing the next packaged version of the Flickr Source.
