Photo swap meet was a bust from a sales perspective (the vast majority of it was scrub-tier garage sale type stuff), although I met some cool people at least.

Right now I am drinking beer, watching WW2 documentaries on Youtube, and writing a nice email to my girlfriend. Now Playing

how is flickr so broken?

there are photos I've taken that are publically available, but aren't in my photostream, because apparently my photostream is not collection of all photos I have on flickr. I think it's because the Lightroom plugin interacts with the photostream as if it's any other album, so if you happen to have uploaded a photo to flickr through a means other than Lightroom, or upload it via Lightroom but then remove it from Lightroom or delete your catalog accidentally, Lightroom just magically deletes those photos from your photostream--they're still on flickr, but the only way find them is if you already know the link from somewhere else, or if you find them from the albums page on flickr, which will show you photos by a user that are not in that user's photostream, the page that shows you all of a user's photos. If the photo is not in an album, and you have lost the link to it, that picture no longer exists, or at least cannot be found, unless you can guess the number assigned to it.

Let's also talk about numbers, and the photostream itself: if I click on the link to my photostream, it will bring me to a page, and if you scroll to the bottom, it will say you're on page 2. Okay, let's click on the link for page 1. That brings you to the same page of photos, which still says it's page 2, but is composed of the most recent photos in your photostream. Okay, so we're still on page 2, which does not conform to anything I'd expect to be considered a second page, but okay, let's click on page 3. This brings you to the next page of your photostream. At the bottom, it will say it's page 4. Well, alright, if you say so. Let's click on the link for page 5, the last page of your photos. If you scroll to the bottom, it will say you are on no page within your photostream. Pages in your photostream have links at the bottom to other/next/previous page. The current page is displayed in a different color, and it's not a link, because you're already there, so you can't go from where you already are to a different place if that different place is the place you are already at, because then it would not be a "different place".

Fine, this is all well and good. We're at the last page of a list of all your photos that does not include all your photos. That last page is page 5. Let's go to the previous page, which in we can infer, from basic arithmetic, is page 4. Let's click the link to go to the previous page; that link will take us to page 4. You click the link. It takes you to page 5, because that is the page previous to page 5, i.e. page 4. But you're not on page 4, you're on page 5, because that is where the link took you. Was the link right? Can I not do basic arithmetic anymore? Okay, the link was right. 5 - 1 = 5.

Let's back to page 1, by clicking on the link to page 1. Let's then go to the previous page. There's a link at the bottom to the previous page, where it says we're on page 2, which is page 1. Obviously the page previous to page 2 is page 1. Let's click the link to go to the previous page, which is page 1. The link takes us to page 2, which is page 1, because 2 - 1 = 2, much like 5 - 1 = 5.

Yeah, for the actual "displaying photos" bit it works great.

It's just everything else about the site doesn't work.

somebody called the police on me tonight because i was "acting suspicious" taking long exposures at night. just some random old commercial buildings. i'll consider myself lucky that I wasn't caught taking 20 minute exposures of random houses.

I was making a reference to ansel autisms' 20 minute exposures. mine were only 1 minute long, and I was approached by the police about 20 minutes later, a few blocks away. I told them I was taking photos, they asked of what, I said old buildings and cars, they asked for my ID, ran it, and then told me to enjoy the rest of the night.
