Flickr is Down

I’m working in the office today so it was very important that I take a pic or two before I left the house so that I would not forget and put my photo a day challenge thing in jeopardy. I used the Hipstamatic app and took a bunch of cat pics. All is well.

Except…

Flickr appears to be down today. At best the service has been intermittent. It works for a minute, then it doesn’t. I got today’s pics uploaded, but adding tags and permissions and albums has been difficult.

I wanted to try to sneak in a photo a day post here, but I can’t get to the pics right now. Let’s all send some happy thoughts to Flickr. Hang in there, folks. You’ve got this… whatever it is. Good luck!

Out of Space?

I tried to post an image off of my phone earlier today and it failed to upload to WordPress.com. I tried a couple of times without success. I eventually uploaded it to Flickr and pulled the link in from there. That worked.

The last time this happened to me it was because my wordpress.com account was out of storage space. I just checked the media library and wouldn’t you know it, I am out of space again. I cleared off about 1% by replacing hosted images with the same images from Flickr so I can upload stuff if I need to, but grrrrrr.

I already have a paid account. Last time this happened I didn’t want to upgrade to the next highest tier account. This time I might do it. My available space will more than double. I don’t want to, but I am sick of this crap. I might just do it. Grrrrrr
