Regarding geotagging:

For geotagging on flickr: I recently discovered this little bit of script magic which is quite good for geotagging on flickr.
I don't like the idea of geotagging stuff that's uploaded already as there seems to be no way to sync the location data back to my real (i.e. local) image files. So I tend to prefer adding the GPS tags locally and then upload them if I want to. (related blog post with a clumsy/broken AppleScript for the task.)

I’ve been driving, but I’m thinking of biking more often. I’m always thinking of biking more often, but it never seems to happen.

William: Small world indeed. I’m rarely on the bus these days. I live in PB so the 30 takes over an hour to get up to school.

ssp: Thanks – I think I’ll probably just throttle my images on Flickr too, but for now I’m over the limit so I’ve got a month to try out Zoomr before I can upload anything to Flickr again. We’ll see how I feel at the end of the month – I do like the easy geotagging.

Nice photo!

I don't like that Zoomr interface either. To stay within the 20MB Flickr limit I just started uploading photos in 800x600 only. That way they end up being 200KB at most which lets me have plenty of photos up there. And I hardly ever look at larger versions on flickr anyway, so at least from my point of view the smaller size isn't too much of a disadvantage.
