New Flickr Image Counter
Look right. Not that far…look to right of the page.
What I’m trying to get you to look at is the new counter I put on the side there. Like it says, it counts the number of flickr photos that have been tagged with “hellyeahbitch.com”. Why am I doing this? Mainly I thought it could be a useful way for all to share something stupid or odd or whatever. You have a photo of something weird, fun, stupid, or even a hot girlfriend just tag it with “hellyeahbitch.com” and bam, the counter will change and we can all have a good time. Although I’m sure no one other than I will do this, I do intend to, and have tagged all my photos appropriately…so at least one person will be helping move the counter.
The second reason is that I needed a break today at work from the web project I’m working on right now, so the 15 mins it took for me to play with the flickr API was a nice break. Next time I need a break I’ll work with it and add a few more features.
Have fun. Take pictures. Tag them with “hellyeahbitch.com”. Feel good for sharing.
Play Memory With Filckr Images
Looking for a new flash game to waste your time with? I have one for you.
memry is memory with images from flickr. Nothing that special, but it is remotely more fun that regular memory. Mainly because you can enter in a tag so that the images you are playing with can be ever so slightly of your choosing. You can try to get some of your own images to come up (if you select the 6×6 square and use the tag: “cardinals” the picture of the really cheesy nacho is mine.) or just try to find some randomly fun images to play with (“sexy” worked well). Sound fun? Just try it out, because frankly, if you were that busy you wouldn’t be reading this in the first place.

How To Setup A Personal .Mac Server II
A little while back I told you the troubles I was having setting up a personal dot mac server (see: How (Not) To Setup a Personal .Mac Server). But after a post on the subject on a site that gets more traffic than ours, discussion on updating the instructions so that one could get Backup 3 (Apple’s backup program)to work sans a .Mac account has begun on the forums on tnpi.biz
They haven’t gotten very far as of yet. They can get it to work in “Trial Mode”, which really just means you have Backup 3 installed and you don’t have a Mac account. Like I said, they haven’t gotten far, getting Trial Mode to work is about as trivial as it gets, but they are trying and seem to be on the right track. If you are interested be sure to check out the progress and maybe even pitch in a bit. I will.
(By the way, if you want to get Backup 3 to work, just go download and install Backup 2.2 and run Software Update and it will give you Backup 3 in “Trial Mode”, which will allow you to backup a max of 100 MB of data.)

Nicolas Cage Thinks His Kid Is Super
Nicolas Cage, and his wife Alice have named their new baby boy Kal-El Coppola Cage. For those not in the know, Kal-El is Superman’s birth name, given to him by his Kryptonian parents. On Krypton its probably like naming your kid “Tom”, “Dick” or something cooler like “Mike”, but here on Earth its a weird ass name. I’m a certified Superman nut…every computer on my home network has a Superman related name (even my iPod is “Perry White”), when I take my shower tonight I’ll be drying myself with a Superman towel (there’s a little visual for the ladies out there!), and when I get in my car I have Superman floor mats. All that, and I still think Nicolas Cage is a retard for naming his kid Kal-El. However he is a retard with huge balls for exposing his geekiness to the world (just as I just apparently did) and for the eventual horrible life he will have as an old man because when you name your kid something stupid and they get their ass handed too them day after day in school they tend not to take care of you when you are drooling in the corner at the age of 92.
Good luck to you Nick Cage, because your kid will be coming after you one day.
Hell Yeah Bitch! .com Changes Web Hosts
We are moving this site from our old webhosts to a shiny new one (Dreamhost if anyone is wondering.). This move will give us some extra space and lots of extra bandwidth to play with. It should be nice and hopefully will allow us to continue to grow at the rate we have over the past year.
The real reason I’m telling you this is, as most of you know, to change a domain name to a different server takes 48 hours until everyone sees the new server. So if you are seeing this, then you are on the new server. Congrats.
Note: If you see anything broken or not working 100% right, please let me know in the comments. Thanks guys.
