I tried uploading this file to Flickr, and boy was that ever an adventure! Apparently, though I had to dig to find the information, they had a brain hemorrhage yesterday. Everyone’s photos are all kinds of jumbled up. What fun! I didn’t have any trouble uploading the file, but when I tried to add it to a set, I saw that there were other people’s images intermingled with mine. When I clicked on them, I was either taken to the correct photo or to yet another incorrect photo.

I thought someone had hacked into my account, but I thought I’d check the main page for information, just in case there was something wrong on their end. Bupkis. I checked the Flickr blog. Bupkis. I had to go to their “help via e-mail” page, which directed me to a discussion about the problem. According to Flickr’s official statement, the problem should have been resolved Saturday. Yeah, right. Their advice was to clear your browser cache, and all would magically be restored to its natural order. Uh-huh. Go on, pull the other one. Anyway, the first thing I did was clear my browser cache, ya’ assberets. And then I tried IE, Opera, and Netscape. And then, Flickr implodiated completely.

Oh, and now I see that they’ve finally decided to post about the problem on the Flickr blog. Heckuva job, guys.
