Adding flickr images

13 October 2008

Screen share was a project I did a couple of years ago, in the area of non-deliberate sharing. The idea is that it takes a screenshot of your machine every time it's activated. The screenshot is resized to 250x250px (too small to read anything, but big enough to give an impression of what you're doing) and then uploaded to flickr.

After two years, I now have quite a large collection of these screenshots, and I guess one day I'll get round to doing some investigations to see what (if anything) they tell other people about me or what I do.

I wanted to add a selection of them to a page on my site, and so I investigated a number of ways of integrating django and flickr. All seemed to be a bit heavy-duty for what I wanted, so I've ended up using jqAlbumParser- a really neat jQuery plugin. This is the page I made.
