Photoshop Express and Flickr

2008-05-11T08:31:46Z

When Adobe first launched Photoshop Express (from hereon in, PX) a month and a half or so ago, it featured integration with three online sites: Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa. Unfortunately, I don't use any of those for photos. So when I saw th...

As hoped, after my previous post detailing my failure to rotate a video for display on Flickr, I've had a useful hint which has since led to me successfully uploading a couple of videos. Gareth pointed me at a page detailing how to use mencoder, ...

Rotating Video for Flickr?

2008-04-13T16:04:52Z

I posted nice and early about Flickr and the API, without even posting a video of my own, and with no inkling of the protests that were about to bounce around Flickr's forums. Eventually I pulled a couple of videos from my old photo site (I'm part...

Flickr Video and the API

2008-04-09T08:57:46Z

Overnight Flickr launched their video support, which I'm sure you can read about everywhere else. I'd like to note (as much for myself as anything) how to handle videos in the API. As with the main site, videos are treated just as funny photos. A...

2008-04-08T16:43:12Z

I've been thinking a lot about aggregation (and lifestreaming) recently. Actually, that's not quite right; I've been thinking about it for a while, but the launch of friendfeed and another look at jaiku¹ brought it to the forefront again. (This po...

Flickr and iPhoto across the Scripting Bridge

2008-02-03T23:01:36Z

It will hardly come as a surprise to regular readers that I have a bit of a thing about programming against the Flickr API. My latest exploit is to try and reconcile my Flickr and iPhoto libraries, so that you can tell from one whether (and where...

The API Join And Avoiding It

2008-01-19T20:06:32Z

A year or so ago, whilst writing groupr (RIP), I came up with what I thought was a useful name for something I found myself doing a lot: the API join. I'm fairly sure this is common to a lot of Web (2.0) APIs, but it's especially common with Flick...

Apple Doesn't Get Web 2.0

2007-08-10T08:01:26Z

There have been a couple of posts since Apple's press event on Tuesday, which saw the launch of the new .Mac Galleries - an online, read-only version of iPhoto, kind of - that state that "Apple doesn't get the web". Jeremy Keith says in the fast-...
