Today has been an eventful day.

I decided (wisely, I think) that I’d start using Flickr for all of my online photo management. Yeah, yeah…I could have gone through and tweaked out a version of Gallery, but I’ve decided to use Flickr. That’s the end of it.

So, I began investigating ways to upload photos to Flickr in bulk. They have a ton of uploading tools, which is nice. One such tool includes the FlickrExport tool which becomes a “plug-in” for iPhoto, and lets you export to Flickr directly from iPhoto. Perfect, I say.

I installed it on the eMac, but didn’t have any success. First, the export dialogue/menu opened up, but the Flickr export part of it was disabled. So I restarted…and couldn’t open the export menu at all.

It turns out that the reason for all of this nonsense is that the version of iPhoto on my eMac is old school. But hey, my PowerBook is new…so let’s put the photos through there.

I removed the external drive from the eMac, and plugged it into the PowerBook. It can’t mount it. I’m an idiot…I forgot to eject it before removing it from the eMac.

So now the partition tables are all wacked out. Thank God for Partition Table Doctor which let me rebuild the tables, and recover all of my data. Ugh.

So now we’re rolling. I’m uploading all of my photos (a veritable ton) to Flickr, and creating sets.

By the way, if you’re a Kings Pointer, check out the group I created for all your Kings Point photos. We’ll share, and it’ll be fun.
