I Can Quit Any Time
March 13th, 2007
You never know you’re an addict until your supply is cut off or severely reduced. The past few days flickr has been acting up and since we didn’t go to SxSW this year, I was hoping to live vicariously through the photos of my contacts who are there.
My sad browser tab looks like this:

I’m hoping that this is short-lived. I hate to think about flickr rehab. o

Thought it might just be my connection. Mine doesn’t load at all. I finally gave up.
Normally they post something about it. Did they and I missed it? What’s going on with Flickr?

My gmail is acting up too- does similar things. Been happening for a couple of days. Must be a Google thing.

At least you still have your lensbaby.

I know, huh??
A friend is at SXSW and has had probs loading ever since it started…same with me
( I am not there, sadly).
Gmail has been wonky ever since this weekend.
Vast right wing conspiracy?? Ya think?

Yeah, mine (including my badge on my site) has been super-slow loading images lately.
[shakes fist at sky] DAMN YOU GOOGLE!

Torrie, I’ll quote flickr commenter filmgoerjuan:
“Nobody puts lensbaby in the corner.”

Umm, Yahoo owns Flickr not Google.
Which means, it is Google *and* Yahoo.
I blame Bill Gates.

“Nobody puts lensbaby in the corner.”
Well, unless there’s a really cool shot in the corner.

Must have had some performance issues while they rolled out “Collections.”

I’m fighting it tooth and nail, the whole must sign in using Yahoo ID thing.
I’m old Skool and I like signing in the way I sign in.

Didn’t attend SXSW, AND didn’t get a free dinner with sparkling company at the Iron Cactus in Austin.
For shame!
