I mentioned last week that Flickr upload sucks. It seems that they were moving their server on Thursday to Friday or something. This despite their mentioned of the move on 22nd June! Anyway, I’ve just uploaded a set of 8, 4, and 16, Flickr only chocks once on the set of 16! I guess they are getting back to normal speed.

And I’ve been slowly migrating some of the older photos from TypePad to Flickr so eventually all photos will be on Flickr only.

I may be praising Flickr’s features in my last post but when I try to upload a relatively large set of wedding photos (100+ photos) tonight Flickr just kept hanging.

Initially I thought it was because I was using FlickrExport iPhoto plug-in so I switched to Adriaan’s 1001 Flickr client. But I got the same result where every 4 to 5 uploads the process will just hang. After searching through Flickr forum it seems that it is a known problem with Flickr upload process but with no fixes in sight, at least none that I can find.

I guess I just have to keep trying with small batch of 4 or 5 photos at a time. The only issue I have using 1001 is that the app ‘loses’ the last photo being uploaded if I interrupt the process. So if photo #3 is being uploaded and got hang and I press ‘Cancel’, 1001 will cancel the upload but also assume that photo #3 has been uploaded successfully and remove it from the set of not-yet-upload photos. Thus, the next time I press ‘Upload’, 1001 will start from photo #5 instead of #4. Haven’t taken the time to write up this bug to Adriaan yet as I am going to play the new Halo 2 maps just now 🙂

After another prodding from Nick, I’ve finally signed up to Flickr and see for myself what’s so great about it. Indeed, Flickr is so much better than TypePad’s Photo Album feature that I am hoping I’ve tried out Flickr earlier!

Two things that bug me about TypePad’s album are a) inability to choose which albums to show up in the sidebar, and b) no commenting feature on photos. Flickr handles those two issues in excellent style while providing even more management and community features.

So new photos will now be uploaded to Flickr while all the old photo albums are still available in the sidebar on Leah’s site.
