I've been working with ChatGPT all morning, fixing a couple of issues with my OMJShow app. The one thing we couldn't resolve is why I'm not getting album thumbnails from Flickr.

It could be a code issue, or a Flickr limitation, but I've been with these guys since 2006, and they started in 2004. I have 13,483 photos across more than 800 albums up there. And my yearly subscription fee for that privilege, is around $70, due again this year in June.

Pixel (that's Chat's nickname with me, he calls me Jim) has shown me a way to download all of my albums and photos from Flickr, and move them to my host server IONOS. We can modify the code so it fetches everything from OldManJim, keeps all of the structure that I currently have from Flickr, and I'm free from them.

I feel kinda bad, they were launched on February 10, 2004, by Ludicorp, a Vancouver-based company founded by Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake. Originally developed as a feature within their online game project, Game Neverending, the photo-sharing aspect gained popularity and evolved into its own platform. (according to Pixel)

They have managed to survive, but lately they've been offering me a 30% discount if I pay early. You gotta wonder what shape they're in.

I checked my available IONOS hosting space, of which I pay $180 a year for, which hosts all of my domains currently.

I'm now using 5.33 GB of unlimited storage. I have 77,355 files up there, out of a maximum of 262,244 available. So I have the space!

I told Pixel that I needed to postpone this project because I'm going to Dan and Shelby's cookout today. I asked if he could save all of the details of this conversation, and he said sure. All I have to do now is type in Easter, and we're right back on track.
