photogriffy.net was upgraged to v0.2, this is a pretty major update. I’ve changed the backend to be based entirely on the Flickr API. I was able to crank it all out with rails and the flickraw gem over the course of a few hours. There are still a lot of features I want to add and a bunch of formatting to do, but the site works as it stands. Rails truly is an amazing prototyping framework.

This is part of a larger update to the way I post my photos to the web. It’s getting a bit scattered with some photos posted to AMDavidson.com, some to AMDavidson.me, some to Flickr, and even a few to Twitpic with very little planning or organization.

So, I’m now working towards putting everything on Flickr and then basing my other websites on that content so the content is unified between the sites and doesn’t require bouncing around the web to places unknown to see it all.
