Was browsing the Flickr forum to see if it was possible to give a gift card for a pro account to a non-flickr user (not upgrade).

I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I did stumble over a post that I found very poetic.

It’s written by Guido_A._Waldenmeier, and titled, “Ways to give a pro account back that come as a gift by”

to much troble with it (personal problems)
about this gift i become.
sorry my bad english it s not my native one

The original thread is closed (due of a lack of responses over the last month) and Guido is no longer a Flick user.

1. Human Memory Limitations and Web Site Usability
   The usability of your Web site depends upon your users’ ability to encode, store, and remember information. If your users can’t remember what they need to remember, they will be disgusted and they will fail. If they fail, then your site fails.
2. Witness This – a photoset on Flickr
3. Sweden: Heaven and Hell – Movie Trailer
   “Trailer for the 1968 italian mondo movie “Svezia Inferno e Paradiso” (Sweden – Heaven or Hell) by Luigi Scattini. I think this may have been banned in Sweden.”

Yesterday I posted a link to a web application called Satellite that allows you to mirror the photos you have in your Flickr account to a personal and customised webpage.

If you, like me, host with Dreamhost, Satellite won’t work “out of the box” (at least not version 1.0). The application uses a PHP function called ‘file_get_contents’ that has (due for security reasons) been disabled by Dreamhost.

So if you’d like to get it working, place this function in the ‘preference.php’ file, which is located in the setUp folder, and then do a ‘search and replace’ for ‘file_get_contents’ and replace it with ‘file_get_dreamcontents’.
