Flickr has been able to get away with a lot of crap, mainly screwing up the lay-out spectacularly time after time, because it was pretty much the only truly reliable photo hosting service in its kind when it comes to cost for space etc.
Heck, I only stuck with it because I can afford it and because they have a copyright infringement team that actually is useful.
Contary that of tumblr, which like flickr, is owned by yahoo.
But with their latest stunt of blatantly invading people's privacy they are taking it too far to even my seemingly limitless tolerance for flickr bullshit.
They have now started the beta for "automatic tagging".
Basically every single photo you upload, EVEN the ones you have set to private AND not searcheable online, will be tagged with tags flickr thinks you "forgot" to add to "make it easier to find the photos in flickr search".
Easier for whom I wonder, because surely if a photo does not have a certain tag it's because the poster doesn't want it to have that tag.
I just had to physically back track through 14 photos, deleting all of the tags flickr added without my conscent and realised that not only were all of these tags added by flickr unwanted, half of them was completely incorrect. This isn't going to make search easier, it's just going to frustrate people to hell and back because a tag search will get them even MORE mistagged results than now.
Also, there is an option, to protect people's privacy, where they can set it so that only they can tag their own photos. So basically flickr is now overriding that option, giving the middlefinger to customers who want to be in control over their own tags!
I'm going to start looking into alternatives to flickr, and seriously this time, because I do NOT feel like manually correcting dozens of photos after a meet or event (it is massively time consuming because you have to remove them one by one from every single photo!) and I much less feel like doing it to hundreds of photos after a holiday.
At the very lease flickr should make this option optional (because I can imagine that there are lazy bums out there that would appreciate flickr tagging for them). But if they want to treat their users fairly (which clearly isn't high on their to do list at all) they would NOT implement crap like this.
Sometimes I think they WANT to go bankrupt.

Yesterday I went to Louvain to meet up with my friend Lora, who lives and studies there.
We went book shopping and found loads of interesting books in two different stores :)
We also popped by our friend Sam's job so I could hand him the bag of birthday presents Bert and I had assembled for him.
For once we weren't even massively over time as his birthday was last Saturday :)
I asked Lora if she wanted to go to Greenway for lunch, because I LOVE Greenway and hadn't been since June last year in Ghent :(
She didn't mind, and hadn't been there before, a situation that HAD to be rectified!
And rectified it was!
We both had a carrot burger :)
We spent the rest of the day wandering about and lounging on a bench in the park.
I didn't get sunburned (only JUST avoided) but inspite of my giant floppy hat, I still got a bout of sun allergy, which sucked. At least I didn't burn this time. I am, howevered, covered in bug bites and my Zatchels satchel gave me a bit of a scrape on the leg :(
Apparently my petticoat had been protecting me for ages. Luckily I have plenty of other bags I can use when it's too warm for pettis :)
Oh and Yves Rocher after sun, the regular one without bronzer, really does help to alleviate bug bite itching!

Right when I was getting ready to go to bed, I found Loa playing with something. Said something turned out to be a poor bug that hadn't managed to escape the kitten. It had already lost a paw, but aside from that it was absolutely fine (thankfully!) and I put it in a jar. Without a lid because it couldn't walk up against the glass. I put a paper towel in there with it so it could hide in it. And of course today I released it in the garden, but not before taking a picture! |

Loa found a parent bug in the house, then the bug hid from him and I found it again.
When I was taking it's photo before letting it outside he noticed it again, so I could'nt take a better picture as I had to run outside with it to make sure it got out safe and in one piece into the garden :)
But that's ok, it getting outside safe is what counts! :)
I like parent bugs, they're pretty and they don't bite :) |
