Go Terk Yourself

To expand on my "switching to SmugMug" comment from a few days ago:

1. If you're a big nerd like me and you subscribe to people's photo RSS feeds the firehose for my photos is now at this URL. There are a bunch of other feeds available too...
2. The most interesting photos, if I do what I want instead of being a lazy slob, will be in the Email gallery. This is where all the stuff I take with my iPhone will go. Hooray for having the internet in my pocket.
3. Switching to SmugMug was super easy. There's a Firefox extension called Smugglr that does the job easily.
4. If you sign up for SmugMug I encourage you to use a coupon code to get a discount on the first year. If you're coming from Flickr use the code flickr to save 50% or, if you feel like helping me pay for my subscription, use hwrh3klDBOGlI - this will save you $5 and send $10 to me - it's win/win!

Addendum

Cool SmugMug feature: resizing images via URL. Take the photo above. The default size is accessed via the URL http://gty.smugmug.com/photos/442170176_d5a4f-L.jpg. Everything after the "-" tells SmugMug what size photo you want to see. You can use some predefined sizes, like "-L" (large), "-O" (original), etc. But you can also tell it to resize the photo on the fly by giving it the desired dimensions, i.e. "-250x250". So the URL for embedding the above image is http://gty.smugmug.com/photos/442170176_d5a4f-250x250.jpg.

I'm a bit of a no-mouse-freak (at least at heart - it's hard to kick that rodent habit). At work I use Linux along with a Window Manager called wmii that tries to make use of the mouse unnecessary. It works great for terminals and emacs but the big thorn in my side is Firefox. Until today. Press the ' key and you can search for a link containing the text you enter. It's pure magic.
