Time Capsule

I've signed up for a web service called Photojojo's Photo Time Capsule, it sends you an email every so often showing your most interesting photos from this time last year so for me it showed.

I think getting these reminders is rather cool.

Traffic

It's the May Day Bank Holiday tomorrow although it hasn't felt at all like a bank holiday this weekend apart from the scum bag traffic on Friday which made me miss a Doctors appointment as even allowing 1 1/2 hours to get home wasn't enough if there are too many caravans and idiots on the road.

I'd forgotten what it's like to live on the tourist route; trails of caravans, coaches full of over excited old biddies and outrageously bad driving from tired and harassed drivers. Harrogate town swarmed with visitors almost 11 out of 12 months and for the week of the Great Yorkshire Show all roads into Harrogate would be virtual car parks. Where I used to live didn't, as really there was nothing to do or see there after about 5 minutes so no caravans.

Flickr

Yesterday was "24 Hours Of Flickr" basically an excuse for me to take my camera out and about. Unfortunately it was grey and cloudy, it's very hard for anywhere to shine in that sort of light. The sun did eventually come out but only in time to illuminate dinner and show that it was past the yardarm. That was the picture I added to the flickr group.




Dr Who

Wooo that was good! Great story, I was so involved that I didn't recognise the Welsh Assembly Building even though Simon was saying "Oooh we've been there" I didn't see it. However as consistently good as these series has been so far there hasn't been a knock out episode for me, The best episodes have lingered in the mind, none of these have yet had that quality.

There is no Dr Who next week because of Eurovision, which I do lurve, but I'd rather have next epi of Dr Who as it looks rather good and Capt Jack is back!

Pretty and Not So Pretty Pictures

Meta Moo

My Moo Cards arrived today.



Translucent matt finish, heavy paper they are things of beauty, I want to give them away and keep them, in equal measure.

Validated

One of my pictures made it into Flickr's explore



I've been posting pictures for over a year now, it makes me feel as if I've arrived. I'm not sure where or what I'm supposed to do now I've got here but I've arrived.

Possibley the Gayest Germany Fan In The World?

Flickr

Flickr is great, really great, a lovely website, easy to use, generous allowance for the non paying users and value for money if you pay for the add ons. However some of its users are bottom feeding slime who obviously get off on the idea of inviting people to look at their p0rn collection. Got such an invite today, urgh. I've marked as may offend, emailed Flickr to report him as a spamming p0rn merchant and blocked him.

I've been using flickr for about 10 months now which I know is not a massively long period of time but my perception is that the there were far fewer creeps using Flickr before Yahoo bought the company. With the purchase the creeps have transfered over. I would be interested in hearing whether I am alone in that view.

I'm testing to see if this works.

And it does, using Flickr, very simple I like it
