As you may have noticed, I’ve started using Flickr for my POTD stuff, and I’m already so happy about it because I’m getting a lot more exposure (no pun intended). At almost the same time I decided to start using Flickr to host my photos (in conjunction with LiveJournal’s ScrapBook), LiveJournal changed the navigation for the ScrapBook system to where its more of a pain in the ass to manage the POTD stuff. As a result, and for many more ways in which Flickr kicks ass (larger photos, EXIF data, geo-mapping, etc.), I will discontinue using ScrapBook and solely use Flickr to do continue my POTD project.

What does this mean to you, dear reader? Nothing. One of Flickr’s options is that I can actually blog to LiveJournal from my Flickr pages, so aside from the new blog format (as I have used for the past two days), I will still post my images to LiveJournal as I always have. I just wanted to share with you the ins and outs of this project. Also, if you have Flickr accounts you can add me as a friend there and see my images there as well (or instead, if you aren’t really an LJ user, and you’re just lurking me).

One final note, at present, I have only one Flickr friend and I’d love to have more (not that I don’t appreciate my one friend over there, Jeremy), so if you have a Flickr account, let me know and I’ll check it out.

Take care LJers, and I’ll be posting another photo today, though I have no idea what of at this point.

Far – Monkey Gone to Heaven

Okay, so I went ahead and started posting my images on Flickr as well. So now I have to do twice the work to upload my images (though I found that Flickr can post to LiveJournal, I still want all the images in my own LiveJournal Scrapbook, is that stupid?).

Yeesh, what am I getting myself into here… my POTD Project is starting to take over my life!

Last night my brother and I finally got a video chat up and working the way we wanted. Its kind of funny, but its actually kind of cool to actually see the person you’re talking to in real time, if only at 5fps (I told him if he was WoW, I would be complaining about the framerate). It took a lot of trial and error on his end to get it to work, but on my end it was a piece of cake. Mac FTW!

I even got to see Christy a bit, but she was mostly getting up and leaving the room because we were apparently too loud.

We got in this morning and there was this big old Cadillac parked in our spot. Heather immediately noticed it and said there was an “old person’s car” in our spot. I got out and called the cops on it, observing that the car had obviously been there all night since it had dew on all the windows. I can’t imagine that old people were driving it if they left it there all night.

They didn’t get the boot like I had hoped, but they got a ticket.
