Experimental Friday Dust Mite Blogging™
As part of the grand project of recolo/vpsing my server farm, I’ve set up a flickr account to hold a few photos. The advantage of flickr is that all the photo resizing is done in the bowels of the Yahoo! server farm(s). The disadvantage of flickr is that the free accounts are limited to 100mb, which is approximately 1/20th of the space that I’m currently using for photos on TSFR (it’s not as if it’s hideously expensive to pay for an unlimited account; US$25/year is easily paid for, even in my current poverty-stricken state. But it’s yet another thing that I’d have to keep track of.) But on the other other hand the advantage of flickr is that it’s a hideously popular website, and it would get more possibly-paying eyes looking at my photos. But on the other other other hand I’d have to redo the guts of annotations so I could have the weblog silently shove pictures over to Yahoo!
(*sigh* I wish I could afford to live in the Bay Area. Taking advantage of flickr would be much more convenient if I wasn’t located 750 miles and a state away from the Yahoo! data center.)
