Dave’s stuff

With yesterday’s announcement that Zooomr mark III will arrive in March, it got me thinking about the things I’d like to see either addressed or added.

Just for completeness, here are demonstrations of Flickr favourites, and Zooomr SmartSet as slideshows. The xsl for the Flickr one will be added to the distribution shortly.

Once again demonstrating the power of xslt, here is a Flickr photoset pulled into a slideshow. The actual photoset is here.

I’ll explain how I did it tomorrow, and attempt the same for Zooomr. Time for bed, at last!

I found this tonight on Flickr, and it made me laugh, so I thought I should share it. There are more of this cat in a photoset named “Pigeons Killer” that are worth a look too, particularly this one.

Flickr has fixed a bug in their RSS feeds which will affect a lot of people who write tools based on the feeds. Read on for more.

Ok, it’s time I used a different stream for the slideshow. This one’s from Flickr this time, displaying the latest photos tagged with ‘Scotland’.

Update, 7 December 2006: The flickr stream isn’t working because of a change to their rss feeds. See the new post for details and a fix for Flickr feeds.

Update, 9 January 2007: It works again. The Zooomr team seem to have fixed their feeds now too, so I fixed my plugin.

Update, 24 July 2007: Oh dear, this is slightly broken due to some changes at Flickr w.r.t. image urls. I’ll fix it soon.

Another hat-tip to Flickr Hits.

This is a great photo. It looks more like a painting. I was never any good at critical analysis in art class. Go and take a closer look for yourself. I found it via Flickr Hits (again).

You could easily spend hours trawling through Zooomr and Flickr. Ok, maybe you couldn’t, but I could.
