Mostly code, sometimes something else, always slightly wacky.
A new release of the FlickrNet API Library.
This release includes full support for the new Flickr Geotagging features, including searching by location, getting and setting of photos location information and the permissions associated with that geo information.
Some example code: Searching and Setting Geo Location.

You may be aware that if you have currently got uploaded photos containing GPS data inside the EXIF then this data is not being loaded into Flickr’s new Location database.
The following is a little web app that does just that for you.

It uses phpFlickr and I managed to write it in about 1 day.
Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

The FlickrNet API Library has a new home, on CodePlex, the new open source hosting platform from Microsoft. I made this decision to try to bring together source code, release files, discussion and documentation into one place, rather than the current situation where it is on two or three different web sites.
http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=FlickrNet
The site feature Discussion Boards, Releases, Source Code and Wiki support.
To go with the move I’ve also made a new release, 2.0.4 which contains methods for supporting adding/editing comments on photos and photosets. There is also experimental support for 23HQ and Zooomr.

I thought I’d mention that I’m currently working as Technical Reviewer for a new book from Wrox about writing Flickr Mashups. To quote:
- Using mashup technologies including REST, Ajax, JSON, SOAP, XML-RPC, CSS and more
- Using Flickr API Objects such as Interestingness, Tags, Sets, Groups and others
- Remixing Flickr with Flickr feeds
- Remixing using the API
- Greasemonkey hacks for Flickr
- Geotagging mashups with maps
So far it looks like its going to be a really good book, and I must congratulate David Wilkinson on his very hard work. David is Operations Manager on the UTATA project/group on Flickr. He also has a photolog and a set of cool Flickr toys (I’d particularly recommend the ‘set manager’).

Borland is resurrecting the ‘Turbo’ brand of developer tools, with Turbo Delphi, Turbo C++ as well as Turbo Delphi for .Net, and Turbo C#.
There will be a free ‘fixed’ all-in-one version called Turbo Explorer.
I never had a great deal of experience with Delphi, although I was always slightly envious of the fact you could compile to a single executable with no dependancies, when VB had the dreaded ‘runtime components’ to install. I am interested to note the two .Net tools, which compile to .Net 1.1 compatible DLLs. Have they missed out here? Will there be an update to compile to .Net 2.0 soon? We shall have to see.
They will of course have fierce competition from the Visual Studio Express editions, especially in the .Net arena.
