One of my odd goals of this slog, aside from being a place to rant and an activity-indicator for SiegSpace, is to provide an additional source of researched facts on certain topics. Sometimes I find there isn't a reliable place for facts, so I'm hoping to help by being a unbiased reference. Thus, to achieve that goal I often need to do some research to line up facts that I remember. Most of it is on the Interweb, but sometimes I draw from books, deeper inside my head... Anyway I was working on a rant about how the Pro system of Flickr keeps changing... but... it seems it's either a fact lost to time, or I'm just plain wrong.
Am I right? Am I wrong? Facts between 1990-2010 (approx) are in the Internet Dark Days, which is a topic for another time, and are often hard to find original sources. Thus, right or wrong, I'll do the rant... but not today. Need to find loads more sources... and until I know the answer that rant is on hold.
NB: For me right now Flickr seems to be having HTTPS issues. Might just be me, but that certainly doesn't make my research easier!
