Flickriver:

I’m loving this site. It’s a great way to browse Flickr images without having to deal with the Flickr interface, which for pure, good old-fashioned browsing is a bit on the pants side and too full of distractions.

If you've half an hour to spare, check it out. You might find something you like.

I've been getting more and more serious about this photography lark for quite a while now, and one of the sites that I've been enjoying most is that of Belgian pro photographer Bert Stephani, particularly his video series Confessions of a Photographer.

Today, Bert and his friend Pieter Van Impe have announced their new project "by photographers, for photographers:" LIME, which stands for Learn, Inspire, Motivate and Experience. The site, www.squeezethelime.com, contains articles (well, just one at the moment), videos and links to photo sets on the LIME project's Flickr photostream. There's also details there about upcoming workshops that Pieter and Bert will be running in 2009. Whilst these seem a bit pricey (Bert's I've seen the light all day workshop has a special introductory price of €180 inc VAT, plus whatever the cost of travelling to the venue in Belgium) I'm sure they're worthwhile; I may even contemplate attending one of them myself.

Aspiring pro photographers (me included) might do well to take a look at LIME; I suspect it's going to produce some really cool stuff and I'm really looking forward to what comes out of it.

Matt Revell has started posting a series of interviews with the Launchpad Development Team. His interview of yours truly, Meet Graham Binns, is the first up:

Matthew: What can we go and look at that you've done on Launchpad?

Graham: The bugs pages :)!

Actually, a great deal of my work is work you don't get to see. Although I do some UI work (I'm working on something pretty cool at the moment that should hopefully appear in either Launchpad 2.1.11 or 2.1.12) the majority of what I do is back-end. In particular, I've been responsible for developing the way Launchpad interacts with other bug trackers like Bugzilla and Trac.

Once again, he hotlinks XKCD, but it's a message worth spreading (click to embiggen):

(And as Reynolds pointed out, The Open Rights Group fights against this sort of nonsense, so please, if you feel at all strongly about this, join them)
