Flickr

Nice photomontage by Philister involving one of my pictures on Flickr (no mention of license though!): Original picture: Honey, I crashed your car!

I really like gthumb to have a look at my photos, quickly perform some basic modifications or effects and display all the photos to people around me. But there is one thing that is annoying me: it seems impossible for my gthumb version (2.10.11) to upload to Flickr, where I put some of my pictures. There is an " issue 73" in the GNOME’s GHOP Contest page from 2007 and the development seems to be done ; it’s just not yet in the main branch. ...

While looking for pictures related to patents, I found these interesting ones taken by Daneel Ariantho on Flickr. They depict a virtual conference about scientific patents. It could be interesting to get more information about 1) the content of this conference and 2) the kind of conferences organized in these virtual worlds. It could also be interesting to see the social aspects of these conferences (are your contact better/different in a virtual conference?) and the “quality control” (of speakers, of posters, of advertizers, …).

After discovering the Flickr API, I started coding oncolour this night and here is the result … oncolour is a PHP script that allows you to display your photos from Flickr on your own website and with a specific background colour. It’s better with an example … This URL " http://www.epot.org/flickr/oncolour.php?id=860125589," will give this result: Some other solutions have been developed and used ( example) but this one is really free: free for use (see here how to use it - even for your photos - and a description of all the options) and free to re-use (see here how to download the script and use it on your own server). Feel free to use it! :-)
