mlomeister: September 2007 Archives
Gaah, I'm so upset right now.. a very close friend of mine reposted some of my pictures on her Flickr stream and I asked her to please remove them. Well, I was to too upset, so the spouse-unit sent a mail pointing out that it was uncool. I don't know how many of you use Flickr, but I know it's in the Guidelines, and even more general politeness to just ask someone before you use or take a picture. Now, she's a really close friend, and the pictures were special in a way, so I had given her all the pictures so that she could show family and friends, and even post them on her blog and stuff. Totally fine with me. But pictures on Flickr in somone's account imply that person took the picture. Even if there's attribution given in the description, there are a lot of Flickr tools and widgets that don't show titles or description.
She's taken them down, but she's really upset with me, and I don't think I'm being unreasonable. She has access to download them, print them, group them, tag them, etc. Just not to repost on Flickr.
Just for my own peace of mind: Please, please, be honest with me here. Am I wrong to not want my pictures reposted on a friend's stream?
I've discovered that the key to these is to barely glance at them and then look away. If you stare at them for too long, you'll get confused as to what letter/number you're seeing. :-)

I've been knitting up a storm lately, inspired by finally getting into Ravelry.com. If you're on there, friend me (mlomeister), and if you're not - well, get your name on the waiting list already!
Amazon has recently launched an online grocery delivery service in the Seattle area. Touting their selection of fresh and organic goods, they offer free pickup and delivery (with a minimum order). If you don't live in Seattle, you can sign up for a possible future location in your area. Honestly, between our fantastic local farmers' market and Amazon Grocery + Prime, I'm not even sure we'd use Amazon Fresh. :-)
I'm working on moving mylifeonline.net back to Movable Type. It's Been Decided. :-)
I've just had the most insane time trying to get back my posts on Vox. At this time, there's no easy way to export entries to import to MT, and that just sucks all kinds of evil.
I'll be crossposting here to Vox, and I'll keep up with comments, too, so many of you won't even notice the difference, ideally. I've got Flock going again (yay!) and so posting will hopefully be more frequent again. I've been away for too long, but it'll be nice to be back and sharing. Because..
Sharing is Caring. :-)
And I have friends here on Vox, which is truly too much to pass up on. :-) I have all your blogs in my RSS reader, so I'll won't be far. I promise!
