If you’ve been browsing my “Flickr”:http://www.flickr.com/ “photos”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/38174277@N00/ you may have noticed some weird happenings - things not showing up, access being denied on some photos etc. A good example of this is the shot I’ve taken of my sets a couple of minutes ago. The kid in the preview is not part of the photo set, or any photo set for that matter. In fact, where the heck did that kid come from?

I’m assuming this is a Flickr problem mostly because I tried to fix a few things I thought were my fault and ran into more weirdness in the backend. Hopefully this will get fixed up sharpish. It’d be nice if they had a status page, similar to what “dreamhost”:http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/ has, so we don’t think it’s something we’re doing wrong and that we know to be patient. “Gamma”:http://blog.flickr.com/flickrblog/2006/05/alpha_beta_gamm.html teething issues? Possibly.

I’m still trying to get the rest of my photos from home up on the website, but I haven’t had too much time in the past week. Most of the free stuff has been spent configuration the home network so we can share media between all the desktop machines, wired and un-wired and to the xbox. It’s been an interesting, and at times harrowing, experience but lots of fun and plenty to learn.

_Update:_ Seems the Flickr people have been “working”:http://flickr.com/forums/bugs/23158/ on the issue, though it would have been nice to see something on the blog to this effect considering how major the issue was. -Everything seems to be working nicely, though- I lost a couple of pictures I uploaded yesterday and one of the set thumbnails isn’t working properly.
