1,000 Registered Members!

Since we opened the site up three weeks ago and allowed our members the ability to invite friends, we've ballooned from 120 alpha members to 1,000! That's a whopping 880 people in 3 weeks! Hot damn!

Thanks everyone!

Flickr Photo Streaming is back up

The good news is, Flickr reached photo number 2147483647 yesterday. Go Flickr!

The bad news is that number 2147483647 is the limit for signed integer data type.

How did that affect us?

Well, we use an awesome open source library called Phlickr to communicate with Flickr's API. Phlickr was treating photo IDs as signed integers and in turn stopping at 2147483647. As a result, images were missing from the display because they would be assigned the wrong photo ID.

If you're using the Phlickr client library, you need to update your library so that the photo IDs are treated as string and not integer (hint: look for sprintf.)
