So I posted a link about hating SXSW yesterday, and many of you attempted to view it. However, because of changes in the way that Flickr handles "adult content", you can no longer view that kind of content without logging in, making Flickr basically useless to me. I need a photo archive that anyone can look at with a simple click.

I could unflag all the adult flags on my shots (maybe), but I've already been warned once that if my pictures are mis-flagged, I'll lose my account. So it looks like I might need to find another solution. One that allows me to post whatever the hell I want without being restricted by community judgement. I don't actually have my own hosting service yet (believe it or not), but now might be the right time to set one up.

Hating SXSW is too important to be restricted by the lowest common denominator.

I'm now on my 3rd attempt to upload Alchemy pictures to Flickr. The Uploadr 3.0 has failed to upload 200+ of my 301 pictures twice now, taking several hours to fail without real explanation each time. I had to go into the Library for the program and delete the pictures database to get to *stop* trying to re-load the thumbnails for the pictures it had failed to upload. Now I'm trying it in batches of 80 at a time, to see if it helps.
