About 2 years ago when Flickr had just launched I heard about it and signed up. They used to have this live chatroom called FlickrLive, which for one security reason or another shut down after they started getting bigger and focussing on the tagging and photography end of things. What I loved about FlickrLive was the totally abitrary way you could just insert bizarre pics into a live chat environment, and save them to what was known as your “shoebox”. It wasn’t like it is now, full of stunning Photography, more it was other photos found on other sites like Worth1000.com, and people would just curculate each others pics. I mean even Stewart (Flickr head honcho) was playing with it. This was why after 6 months of not using Flickr, which subsequently blew up in populrity, that I found my self banned from public view for having lots of idle poached photoshopperie, and found my account not capable of being viewed in public. Fortunately they were nice enough to unflag me once, I’d removed the nicked stuff.

Anyway, back to the Live connection. One thing I remember being really into at the time was bad and banned album covers.

I even made a Flickr Group about one of my favourites -

While I’m there allow me to post a link of some new contenders for the Worst Album Covers ever in this great new Flickr group I found this morning.

Just on another thing today we went to the as usual hot and slightly depressing Songkhla Zoo, and photos are online at my Flickr site. I’m assuming you know how to get there…it’s not hard.

The otter thing I am doing is testing out wblog an external blog entry creator. If you can read this it works amazingly enough!

I used to be a bit disappointed about the lack of any meaningfull tropical animals roaming the streets in Thailand…tends to be all soi dogs, cats and the occaisional jingjok climbing my walls of an evening.

Last night however I ventured into the kitchen with the lights off, but in the dimness did spot a certain menacing shape sitting on the floor.

Turns out this monster is fairly hamless so I’m tentitively allowing it to hang out on our kitchen ceiling.  You can see where the inspiration for Predator comes from though!

In other home news today Mali is pretty much walking on her own.  She managed a total of seven independant steps this morning.  I’m officially in posession of a toddler. Oh and she’s just woken up..toddlersitting time again!
