One of my Flickr photos got selected for the current Schmap online guide – they use photos to illustrate points of interest in their web-based city travel guides. It just goes to show you that it’s a good idea to tag your photos effectively on Flickr, as this is the second time something like this has happened. The other one requires me to fill out some kind of form, need to get on that this weekend. I might actually get a small fee for use of another of my photos.

I'll try something from time to time here – when one of the random thumbnails catches my eye, I'll tell the story behind it. This was taken on a May trip to Washington State a few years back. David and I flew out for Folk Life and then took off on a big loop around the Olympic Peninsula, the National Park, and down and around the long way, ending up at Mt. Rainier National Park. It was a lot of fun, but the next time we do that, we'll retrace steps rather than circumnavigating the peninsula, it was a very…

This is just a test post with perks: I get to see if Image Manager by Per Søderlind solves my little problem with IE not being able to show the WordPress image uploader. And it does, so nana-nana-booboo, Mr. Gates. My readers (all seven of you!) get to see my great-niece, Alexa. All snowy and cute. And perky. And it works! The crowd goes wild. Extended geeky navel-gazing follows… I had been somewhat puzzled by the fact that at home, I could upload images via either the WordPress built-in uploader, or via ecto, but I could not upload images while at work.…

This is an example of the kinds of things we're going to be moving from Holy Moly to St Nicholas. It's one of the Stations of the Cross that was made by one of our parishioners, and I think it represents Jesus falling the first time on the long walk to Calvary. If you look closely, you can see two honkin' big wood screws going right up His robe. Also, it's really battered and like all the rest, really dusty and cobwebby. The ladies from the Altar Guild no longer dust these, because they regularly got pulled from the wall…

Holy Innocents, Pentecost Sunday Just another test of ecto, so I used a picture from the Holy Moly site. This time, I actually completed the steps, instead of being stumped by Flickr’s “Oops” page. The trick is to disregard the error page, and to continue with the steps in authorizing ecto by clicking the “Finished” button. Duh, but also, not that intuitive. The answer from ecto was of the “you stupid n00b” variety, but hey, if I land on a page that says “Oops,” I expect that the process has failed, not that I should continue with the next step…

Taken at Maroon Bells, near Aspen, Colorado. You know, I really need to upload the rest of my photos from the October road trip. At the moment, though, I’m just testing a new beta version of ecto, 2.2.0 beta 3, and it has a very, very cool Flickr plug-in that pulls photos in very nicely, and then it applies all my fussy drop shadow doodaddery. This process would be speeded up greatly (like, Warp 10, Mr. Worf greatly) if I could log in automatically to Flickr. However, I couldn’t log in to my own personal photos to pull them, although…

broadband � Forums � Digital Imaging � What Color is the Moon, Really? Check out this gorgeous, hypersaturated moon shot from DSL Reports‘ NoelC. It’s now my desktop image, and a very handsome one it is, too. My husband David and our friend Steve spend time at DSLR, and we’ve been to the local picnic events, too.

David, on Day One of our last trip to Maui. Really, this is more of a test post, I’m checking out ecto, and the iTunes plugin associated with it. I’ve managed to get it working and it appears to be mostly harmless. There’s a support forum, Time for the acid test. I may be cracking open a beer in a second, but will there be much joy? or no joy?

Flickr and Yahoo, those two cahootsers, are integrating even more by making it possible to sign in to Flickr using a Yahoo ID. This is supposed to make it easier to use and easier to invite people, and they’ve made the sign-up process even easier. So hey Timmy! Why don’t you sign up for Flickr and start putting some family photos up? How about everybody else in our far-flung family? I’ve been having a lot of fun with it lately and still have plenty of photos that I want to highlight there. I’m starting to join more group pools and…
