Filed under: Internet — Tags: , , , — Stuart Maxwell @ 1:06 pm

Flickr have just released a stats package for Flickr Pro subscribers, and it’s quite awesome. It shows trends of visitors and commenting activity, as well as top photos, and referrers.
I wouldn’t have thought that this photo would have been our top-viewed, but it’s the one we used when we sold that car, so it makes [...]

Schmap just got a little bit better

Filed under: Internet — Tags: , , , , — Stuart Maxwell @ 9:46 pm

Schmap the online travel-guide website just got a little better… That’s because they’ve included two of my photos in their guide to the ‘Western Suburbs’ of Wellington. I’m not too sure that Hawkins Hill should be classified as being part of the Western Suburbs but it does border on the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary so perhaps [...]

As Wanda Martha just mentioned, last night we had the first meetup of the Wellington Bloggers Facebook group (or the catchy ‘WBFG‘ for short) at the Southern Cross bar. It was great fun and quite surreal meeting bloggers in real life for the first time – especially as we already knew so too much about [...]

So I’ve set up [...]

Filed under: Internet — Tags: , , , , , , , — Stuart Maxwell @ 1:01 am

I stumbled across this site recently via Tim Haines’s blog – fivepointsix.co.nz is a new photo sharing site based in New Zealand. I’m always interested in local offerings of services that are usually only available overseas – Zoomin is another good example of a great NZ site.
I’m not too sure about the fivepointsix site though, [...]
