O'Reilly Network: Heavy Metal Umlaut: The Making of the Movie
Check out the movie, Heavy Metal Umlaut. Then go read the article O'Reilly Network: Heavy Metal Umlaut: The Making of the Movie.
There's a lot of food for thought here, both in the technology used, and in the analysis of the change log on that article. Fascinating stuff.
Ultimately, any user of any app built on the API has to be a user of Flickr as well. It also just introduces for a company at our stage a lot of headaches and risks, in that people are, excuse me, but shitty coders; they're not responsible in their use of the API or they write buggy code that hammers us. And that's happened a couple times. People can hammer you in other ways: they can scrape you, but they can hammer you a lot harder if you're exposing methods to the things that are most database- or CPU-intensive.
It's been a long time. And let me tell you, that's not the first time I've had to write that to start a post.
I've been meaning to write for a long time. I've had a problem though. Do you keep a stack of paper somewhere? I do. On my kitchen table is a pile of junk mail, bills that need to be paid, advertisements, handouts, newspapers, coupons, etc. When the pile is small it's not a big deal to sort through. As it grows though, it gains inertia. This blog has done the same thing.
In the time that I've ignored it comment spam and trackback spam have piled up like dust and dog fur in the corners. Software has changed so many versions, I'm surprised I could even log into Movable Type. Most surprising, I can't type as well as I used to, but that's probably a personal problem.
Let this post serve as a hello. If you'd like, say hi in the comments. You might have to wait a little while for it to show up, though, as I've configured comment moderation.
