Latest Flickr Image

One problem with LiveJournal is the lack of control one has over his blog. I wanted to add a Flickr badge, but since it’s a JavaScript, I can’t. Anyway, I hacked a little Ruby script, using flickr-ruby, that gets the latest image I uploaded to Flickr, and then uploads it to my server. So I have a “From Flickr” thingie on the right hand side.

(While we are at it, Scott Raymond has an “insanely easy Ruby interface to the Flickr photo-sharing service”—Flickr.rb. There, we out-number the other language APIs.)

By the way, did I tell you that Swaroop gifted me a Flickr pro account? Maybe he was being nice to me because I was very supportive of his Powerbook, unlike some other folks :-).
