Nixta Sinks

I've been told in no uncertain terms that what little I crap out onto these pages is worthless.

I know it's true, but it don't lessen the pain none. So, it's goodnight from me, and you can fuck yourselves. You know who you are, if you've even got this far.

Red eye here... Nothing here

Now, I might be a complete dullard, idiot, slowcoach, fool, nincompoop, wigwam, thicko, dumbass, troglodyte, buffoon, sophomoron, flibbertigibbet and of course dimwit, fuckwit, shitwit, tosswit, tadger, badger, gnadger, toad, and turd, but I don't ever recall reading anything about Flickr removing redeye. I'm very impressed if it does, and indeed it seems very much as if they have that in hand. See the picture here that shows the Flickr version.

I finally decided to make use of Flickr so that I can post to YesButMoBlog at YesButNoButYes, thanks to the kindly Scaramouch and the recent acquisition of my Samsung D500. I have a test blog at Flixtasinks, which is there to serve as little more than a testbed before I trapse all over YBNBY with shoddy photos that I'm just testing posting with.

I have to say that Flickr rocks. I know that people have been saying that for a while now, but the integration with Windows not only with their own application but also with a simple Registry file. Very impressive.

I could name some improvements to do with editing sets, but I'm sure that they'll appear over time. Can only drag one picture at a time, and they seem to lose their order. Also, the ordering seems not to match the order the photos were taken when you look by tag. Oh well, we shall see what happens. In the meantime, check out my Flickrshite, if you can be arsed (I don't really recommend it at the moment).

Having glossed over this at YBNBY (via Metafilter) for a while, I finally read the thing. What strikes me is not that google will be indexing terrible videos, but that 23% of Britains actually state pornography as the reason to get broadband internet.

Now, I have nothing against pornography (nor would a certain someone's crest-riding sister - where is that password... where?). It's a brilliant waste of time and is copiously available for free on the internet if you know where to look, but I wouldn't want a nation doing what I'm doing, not even 23% it. It would lead to a nation of underslept overwanked perverts, but more importantly, there will be a drastic drop in the bandwidth available for my downloading.

Could this be my second cocking post without any profanity at all in as many... posts? Probably not. My good chum and professional self-balder, Simon L. Green, has apparently written up a web-site about his fascination with growing turnip wine and broccoli trousers, named Plot 37, aptly enough.

I don't know what he does with all the vegetables, but I would suggest that he try something more lucrative than merely selling them at a market. Making movies involving them would pay much better. A lot of them could be scooped out and turned into finger puppets, which would make a brilliant children's show now that Barney and those Telly Tubbies have gone the way of Pob and his foul spitting lessons for the skinhead youth of yesterday.

Update:
Whilst on the topic of cheap rent, I just came across this (and no, Glenn, it's not a woman's face). It's been sitting in my inbox for over a week now. The depressing vision of the future is, if not quite here today, and albeit probably already here in Japan, then here very shortly. I'm sure that some of the things they claim are photos are not at all, but it's altogether interesting.

Incidentally, this page has to win some serious pathos points. I found it whilst trying to recall Glenn's site addy. I'm now officially depressed once more.
