I had been working with the flickr api for a while. I took a break from working with the api and returned to it just yesterday to discover that my api account had expired!? Some other people have had the same problem apparently.

As it turns out, there is in fact a bug in the Flickr.rb library.

Looks like some working through the flickr.rb library for me!

Shorts to Skirt Conversion

I finished converting a pair of blue jean overall shorts into a overall skirt; these are just for wearing around the house. Simply seam rip the rise of the shorts and for each leg, fold one short leg over the other and cut away any excess fabric. Pin and sew. Nothing difficult or fancy.

I hem most of my pants; so, there is nothing particularly special about me hemming trouser pants. But this time I put an extra special stich around the end of the fabric so that it wouldn’t unravel (as quickly).

The only good thing about buying too much of a single color of yarn is that when your creation has become too worn, you can simply recreate it with your extra yarn.

7 of the Best Albums of the 1990s for $7

Pitchfork has put out a list of the top 100 Albums of the 1990s (as well as list for the 60s, 70s and 80s). These lists matched with MusicMP3.ru’s great prices mean good music for not alot of effort or money.

MusicMP3.ru is a music store where users buy a minimum amount of music credits (I think I had to buy $20 the first time, but I went through that quickly). All of the albums and songs are priced with US Dollars and cents; so you know exactly what you are spending. I have been using the site for over a year and have been impressed with their selection and prices. I use the Firefox Add-on Download Them All to download whole albums without having to click the individual links provided when you buy an album.

Here are pitchfork’s top 10 albums of the 1990s in order with links to the available albums at MusicMP3.ru.

1. Radiohead’s OK Computer for $0.96
