Futzing with Flickr

It seemed odd to have an hour or so of actual free time last night, so I went trolling though my photo collection. I put a couple more of them up onto my Flickr account, but I also removed all of the pictures I had taken at the pro beach volleyball tournament at the end of January. The pictures were almost entirely crap—too far away, and poor action shots. I’ve still got my copies, but they’re not public at the moment.

I have a loose plan of what I’d like to do with my pictures, and just need the time to get things in place. I’ll continue to use Flickr to store some of the pictures that I’m at least somewhat proud of. In addition to that, I’ll set up a gallery somewhere on this server to host the whole lot. I’d hope to have a link set up between the two, or some way to tag the set which are in both places.

Further down the line, I think I’d like to strap together a calendar that lists entries for blog posts (by date posted), photos (by date taken) and events. It probably wouldn’t be all that difficult to do. The pycalendar module for pyblosxom does this for regular blog entries. Of course, finding the time for this is the hardest part. Expect something near 2008.
