Had a fun day exploring part of Rotterdam with 20-or-so local Flickr users! More shots in this set.
There's a great easter egg (or should that be christmas egg) in the Flickr note script... This morning I was quite surprised to see that a santa hat had suddenly appeared in one of my photos! It turns out that if you add a note with the text ho ho ho hat
to a photo, a santa hat will appear. You can even stretch it to proportion. Similarly, a note with ho ho ho beard
will make a big gray santa beard appear.
(I checked the Flickr notes.js to see if there were any other special codes, but these two seem to be it.)
For the non-Flickr-contacts that visit here: there's tons more Berlin photos to see in this Flickr set of mine, and plenty more on the way, probably.
Almost three weeks on, and browsing through the many photos of my short trip still makes me discover more cool stuff to post. If only the photos sucked, maybe then I would learn not to shoot so many; but no, somehow I like almost every one of the 1000+ photos I made. I'll be in real trouble the next time I go on a longer trip.
Looking at my Flickr most-viewed photos stats just now, I was surprised at how many views this photo had gotten - 542 views with barely any comments or faveings! As it turns out that might have something to do with the fact that it's actually the 4th(!) result in Google for the phrase no smoking allowed
- while a copy of the same photo on my own site is the 5th result.
Which makes me wonder how many other people end up on my Flickr photostream via Google, or via any other site for that matter, without me realizing it... I guess it's too much to ask Flickr to offer personalized referrer listings for stats-addicts like me. :)
Update:
This problem is solved, for Pro-users anyway, with the recent introduction of Flickr Stats!

I wrote this little bookmarklet to help me instantly grab the large/original version of any Flickr photo. Funnily enough, because of Flickr's consistent filenaming scheme, it also works for photos where the See different sizes
option normally remains hidden:
view big (gets 1024px version; should work for most photos)
view original (gets full version as uploaded; works for photos pre-March 2007)
Drag the link above to your Bookmarks Toolbar (or right click, Add to Favorites), then click it when viewing a single Flickr photo page.
Here's the formatted source code, if you're into that sorta thing:
for (m in M=document.getElementsByTagName('img')) { s = M[m].src; if (s && s.match(/static/) && !s.match(/_s|buddy/)) { void(window.open(s.replace('.jpg','_o.jpg'),'_self')); break; } }
