Flickr galleries are now working!

As Susie promised, I applied my “electronics skills” to the Flickr API. We are now displaying all the images from those galleries here for your viewing consistency, and you should notice the links in the sidebar.
Just to be really consistent, our image sets on Flickr are also linked over here once they have been added to the blog.
So what’s all the sorcery about? We have a bit of software called FlickrExport that synch’s Susie’s sets in iPhoto to Flickr in a few button clicks. Then I copied the Page class in Typo, called it Gallery, and added a method that identifies each photoset through the Flickr API using rflickr. So it is one more click to update the listing of content here with new galleries.
We will add descriptions, links to larger versions of the image, better layout, and maybe even some javascript slideshow effects to the gallery pages (eventually). But now, the hour has grown late, and this is really not my day job…
