Around here it’s nearly zero and covered in snow. I decided to spend the day integrating Flickr. [photo was lost to time…] If you take a look in the right-hand column of my blog (under Twitter) you should see two of my latest Flickr photos. I say “should” because I’m not 100 percent on the Flickr API […]
The most depressing thing about being a web designer/developer is that you spend all day making websites for other people. Your own little corner of the Internet gets neglected and all spider-webby.
