Flickr Refreshr
I’m trying something new. I’m uploading all of my pictures to Flickr instead of to my server. I’m not entirely sure why other than it could save on disk I/O, bandwidth, and probably has better redundancy than the RAID 1 installed in this server. Since my Flickr account was a total wreck, I wiped it clean…deleted 1,610 pictures! Unfortunately, it broke a LOT of links in posts already. I think I probably should have kept all the “cameraphone”-tagged photos in place as those make up for a lot of what I post. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess.
So, I’m starting from scratch. As of 12:30 AM and some odd seconds, I have 2,139 pictures uploaded to Flickr. And that’s just a drop in the bucket. There are some I’m not going to re-upload to Flickr (like old animals and computer stuff) and other stuff that may take a little longer for fine-tuning of collections, sets, and tags. I’m just getting most of the special events, parties, and vacations up for now. And pictures of my current animals (3 dogs, 2 cats, and J.J.).
And, as of about 5 minutes ago, my stats on Flickr are WAY up, too. Here’s a screenshot (clicky for full) of my Flickr stats–just a slight jump!
