This is the main gift that i designed Kirsty for Christmas, taking pride of place in our front room! Click back to Flickr for the original design. I hope you all had a great day with family and friends.
Add notes to your flickr photos this Christmas and you can end up with some fun results! Just type “ho ho ho hat” or “ho ho ho beard” and you’ll achieve these Santa themed additions right there on your photos!
There’s quite a few services out there that rely on ‘tagging’ bits of information for searching, indexing and organising (del.icio.us, technorati and flickr to name a few). But recently I’ve noticed a few websites that are making use of tagging to tie information to specific geographical locations. Flickr is the latest one to catch my eye as I can now drag and drop my photos onto a map (similar to google maps) to show where they were taken!
Now imagine the power of searching for a particular thing in a particular location and seeing the results! A lot of fun could be had with this (and of course, a lot of mischief), and there are even more powerful photo-tagging tools out there too!
Personally, I haven’t (yet) got the time to go through hundreds of photos and geotag them all, but it could become a very useful idea for future images I upload.
For those of you who didn’t know, Kirsty and I put in an offer on a house a few weeks ago. We were only casually looking around and it was just the second property we’d seen, but it just seemed like a great place to live. Also it’s a big step for us as we’ve been saving up since we got married back in 2000.
Today loads of documents arrived from the Estate Agents, Solicitors, etc. and it finally seems like it might actually go ahead! If all goes well, hopefully we’ll be moving sometime in the next 8 weeks. Watch this space as I’ll let you all know what’s happening.
Oh, check out Flickr as I’ve put loads of photos up there too.
