Blogging on the go

Jan 23rd

Posted by thisgeek in General

I’ve finally set up a blog via email facility, so I can now blog from anywhere that there is a GPRS signal. This post is essentially a test to see if it works. If you’re reading this, then obviously it does… Otherwise i’m just wasting my time talking to myself. Internal monologue is talking to yourself, isn’t it? At least it’s not out loud. I get enough funny looks as it is.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get with the times. I can upload to flickr from anywhere, and now post to my blog. And the world says, ‘big whoop’. :p

UPDATE #1: It does work… when I figured out how to get the frikkin’ thing to actually post – and there’s a minor issue with the flippin’ line breaks being converted to = signs… but I think that’s a client issue rather than the blog.

UPDATE #2: I’ve updated the back-end software which introduced a theme error, so I’ll be mucking about with themes for awhile until I find something I like.

I became fascinated with HDR images after seeing the Tokyo Nightscape image on Flickr. I read a bit about it here and there, and decided to give it a bash. This is my fourth attempt. I’m quite happy with it!

This looks so damn familiar. I think I’ve used a couple of rolls of these by accident recently.

Flickr Fun

Apr 1st

Posted by thisgeek in Complaints

So I check out how cool Flickr is. I decide I want to expand from a free account, and purchase a subscription, because the advantages are, well, cool. So I enter the order function. They take credit cards (and well they should), but it’s handled by PayPal — not so cool. The reason why it’s not so cool? I can’t pay with my credit card. Because I’m in South Africa. It’s not one of the ‘45 Countries’ that can use PayPal. Fuckin’ great. Get with it you fuckholes (PayPal). How many damn years has it been?

– update: I should note that I searched the Flickr forums, and I’m heartened to learn that they will offer real payment options when they’re out of beta.
