Flickr Uploadr: 2.3.1 vs. the Rest of the World

'Write when you're inspired' is the advice; it's a shame that I'm currently inspired by an irksome piece of technology rather than some wondrous facet of creation that deserves praise.

So, the gripe I have is with Flickr's desktop uploaders: they just haven't worked since version 2.3.1 for the Mac. Further, since I invariably feel excited by the prospect of an updated piece of software, each time a new version is released I get duped into trying it out (the current version is 3.2.1). The final straw is that they have also now removed version 2.3.1 from their web site.

This evening I spent half an hour hunting through the Help Forums for version 2.3.1¹, and fruitlessly trying out the later evolutions up to the present 3.2.1.

I'm still using 2.3.1.

Paddling pool

Two weeks ago, we bought an inflatable pool for the sun-deck at the rear of our house. After hyperventilating, breaking a bicycle pump and hyperventilating again, we managed to get it inflated.

Last week, the water was finally warm enough to get Reuben to get in. We had a nice hour or so splashing around in the sun; I spent a while snapping away with the phone and the set is now up on Flickr.

The boy done good

Giggs got it.
