Note on my future use of Flickr

I’m not a fan of the new Flickr redesign. It’s not even that I don’t like the visual look of it.My primary beef is: without warning they completely changed the service for paying customers. I’ve payed for a Pro account for years under the assumption that paying for a service would provide a little more reliability. Flickr has shown that not to be the case, so I’m planning to use it far less frequently and probably far differently than the personal photo site of record I have been using it as. (I’m also not pleased with their likely upcoming attention/advertising model)

I was able to put all my photos into one Set and download the full size images using a free service called flickandshare.com, so I have everything safely out of the service now. Likely I will eventually set up my own simple photo gallery (and give these photos a new home) on my website at chris-karath.com. Hosting your own services and codes seem to be the most reliable method for content that you want around for years to come.

Photos that are here now, will probably continue to be here, Yahoo willing, into the future.

I’m coming to believe that commercial services are fine for emphemeral content, but archival content seems better suited for self hosted methods.

Since Flickr has shown itself to be of unpredictable stability, and it appears to be transforming into more a social network than a photo service, I’ll probably plan on treating it as such. If you subscribe to my account for the action figures, I’ll probably from time to time still post a picture or two of those here with links back to my own site where I’ll likely start posting more photos.

If you follow for my personal photos, following me on Twitter or my personal blog atchris-karath.com will probably be your best bet. --- Best wishes, Chris.

I've never actually taken the full tour of the Museum. It was free today, so we went through it. It's nicely done for it's sort of thing.

Both these guys have contributed a lot to comics. I'm not implying anything with the choice of pose. I figure in classic comic parlance though, these two comic heroes would be obligated to fight before teaming up to defeat some great evil.
