I just awoke a few minutes ago, clicking on the damned "smartphone" that has become an extension of my brain. A story promptly unfolded that has elements of Hitchcock. BTW I've read that, later in his life, he was obsessive about the women who starred in his films. But I digress ( Read more... )

My fight with Flickr devifemme October 20 2010, 19:28:19 UTC
As I said I would, I'm checking on my French friend -- in greater depth than I could on my BlackBerry. No recent postings, alas, and no news about her cancer-stricken friend.

But, on Flickr, I sent several messages to her. In one, I happened to include my Livejournal address. And -- guess what!? -- the site sent the god-damnedest message I've ever seen on the Net!!

I don't have the exact words, but the effect was "this address is unfriendly to Flickr, and we won't accept your message if it's there."

I took the address out, and the comment was accepted. The interesting thing is -- sure, I've been pissing all over them for weeks in connection with their crude censorship of photos I'm PERMITTED to post here. But I THINK I've sent requests for photos, containing my Livejournal address, to other Flickr members since then -- and never triggered THAT message!

As it happens, I told my French friend about my pissing match with the Flickr "police" and, as I said, this comment was after the email to her. I REALLY wonder whether they read my mail entering their system. Which would be OUTRAGEOUS, if true.

Hugz, J
