Broken Links and Duplicate Files

I recently noticed that I had somehow uploaded almost 900 duplicate photos on flickr somehow.  So I have been going through all of my pictures and deleting the duplicates.  In some cases, taking all of the metadata and information I have probably forgotten with them.

Because of this deletion, some of the links to pictures on this site have become broken.  It’s an unfortunate side effect.

While to some this may be a major disturbance, I use my pictures to illustrate things that may be hard to describe, or to emphasize certain aspects of my posts.

This reorganization will take some time, but the OCD is coming out of me with this one.  I just can’t help it.

flickr Login Confusion Solved…Finally

Today I finally fixed a problem I’ve had for almost 2 years!

I use flickr for uploading of many of the pictures I take for online storage.  It keeps ’em safe.  Logging into my account has been nothing but confusing though.

When I set up my flickr account we used AT&T for our DSL, and therefore my email address was with them.  After “the move” I changed email addresses to a yahoo.com domain name as we weren’t in AT&T’s service area anymore.

For some reason, I could not change this information with flickr, which is owned by yahoo.

They eventually let me change my contact email to my yahoo.com address, but not my login information.

Today I successfully changed the login information.

One less username and password I have to remember.  Thank god!
