You might have noticed the new tab in the media box at WordPress.com labeled “Browse Flickr”. I am partially responsible for that functionality. Andy Skelton coded the bulk of the media browser, and I added the Flickr tab by copying a lot of his code and mixing in the Flickr API.

Rather than bore you with written details of how it works, I’ll just direct you to the animations I made for using the media browser on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Check them out!

On Firefox:

On Internet Explorer:

This is pretty weird. I can’t seem to get this post to publish. I wonder why that is.

Update:  Solution found – I had reset the timezone in Options, and my post became future-dated.

It was an accident.

I’m not sure what happened.  Suffice to say that I’m now somewhat preturbed with my host, and I’m in the process of moving 900+MB of data (yeah, Asymptomatic is really big) from there to my home system in 40MB chunks.

I’ve ordered hosting on TextDrive through their lifetime hosting program, and apart from wanting to vomit from spending so much at once on an untested host with unsure capabilities, things may eventually get back to normal by the end of the week.

Isn’t it odd how you have so much to blog about on the exact day when your site is completely inaccessible? 

Ah, so you’ve found me in my secret domain.

Yeah, ok, it’s not so secret.  After all, it’s just my name on the front of the WordPress.com domain.

Perhaps I will write something of consequence here later.  Unlikely.
