Once More... a farce in many parts. A comedy in others.

Flickr Photo Page Enhancer update

Posted on June 27th, 2005

I’ve updated the Flickr Photo Page Enhancer (see this post for more info) again. The previous version was a little hacky, in that it tried to extract a lot of information about a photo from the page you were on, and completely guessed at other information. Now the script does a simple call to the Flickr API to get all of that information. The user won’t notice much of a change, but the script works better and handles rare exceptions (like the photo has no medium size, the original wasn’t a jpeg) way better. Plus, I finally found a reason to play with GM_xmlhttpRequest and the Flickr API, both of which I’ve been meaning to look into. Gods, I’m such a geek.
