Flickr Important Security Notice

Important Security Notice:

Recently there have been attempts to lure Flickr members to web pages which look similar to Flickr and invite people to enter their password or download a "package" of private Flickr photos.

Flickr does not offer downloads of photo packages, self-extracting archives of photos, private or otherwise. If you see a link which offers something similar -- even if it appears in a comment or posting left by a member you are familiar with -- please use the "Report Abuse" link at the bottom of every Flickr page to let us know.

This is not a problem specific to Flickr, but there have recently been Flickr members targeted. We don't want to see anyone affected so it is important that you exercise caution in your clicking.

How can help protect yourself:

-- Make sure that the address locator bar of your browser is visible. If you follow a link anywhere in the site that leads to a page that looks like Flickr but the URL is not flickr.com, please use the Report Abuse form listed in the footer of every page to let us know. We have active filtering and we'd like to review any comment so that we can add new URLs to these filters.



-- Flickr members can only sign in to Flickr on "login.yahoo.com" (excepting "old skool members"). For your own protection, you should review the information available at security.yahoo.com.

 
 

It's Just One Of Those Days....

Have been feeling really sick the past couple days... I actually called in sick to work today because I felt so bad. I think it's the flu... You know the whole body aching, fever, feeling like you're not in your body, pounding/splitting headache.

To make matters worse, finding medicine here (like the kind we take back in America) seems to be difficult. I know it exists because the previous tenants left some (that we used up a few months ago), but we haven't been able to find it again.

I was able to get some food in me today though, so I took some ibuprofen, a multi-vitamin, and some garlic.

Been trying to sleep all day, but it's proven difficult. I'd like to call into work tomorrow too, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

Grandma: to fix your problem, you might want to try deleting your cache.

Linda: yea, they lock up their bikes anywhere they go. Bike theft seems to be rampant.

Well, my head is killing me, I'm going to try and get back to sleep.

Not much to say

Going to be very bust at work in February. The busy days of Saturday and Sunday become the weekdays for 3 weeks. I took a video during the snow that I plan to upload, but it's getting stuck at 7% - so I'll have to wait till later to upload it.

If you register for a flickr account, you can comment on the pictures themselves.

More to say, but another time.

Internet Is Still Down - Kind Of...

A simple Google search reveals that it's supposed to be fixed by the 15th - I don't buy it really.

I bought a digital camera last night - a Kodak EasyShare V705. It has duel lenses a regular one and an ultrawide lens. I'm still learning how to use it, but so far I'm enjoying taking pictures of the city. I just got back from a stroll and I'll be uploading those pictures soon.

I believe I sent all of you a Flickr invite email - so check your inboxes, but if you'd like to see them and can't find the email you can go to this url:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/vpr555/

Anyways, I decided to stay with English First, I didn't want to start a new contract, and it just seemed like the right thing to do. So I'll try to update more frequently once the internet is fixed.

Take care,
Tom
