I think they limit you to 500 pictures now. I had over 2,000 there.
Then Chris McCaskill bought it from Yahoo and promised everyone,
"Nothing will change!" (over and over again he promised the public
and his newly acquired employees, too).

So I sent "support requests" to the "flickr.com" staff (former
Yahoo! team) who still worked there telling them he's lying through
his teeth! And what he did with the last company he bought. I told
them it would be wise to start looking for a new job (several
times). Sure enough, 25 out of the 30 people got layed off a month
later.

Two weeks after he laid me off (10 years prior) he had hire me back
for 3 weeks at quadruple my previous salary. Plus 3 months of COBRA
and moving expenses back to California - about $3K. Yeah, I was not
his favorite layoff.

It was the best schadenfreude in my lifetime (so far). He was told
not to lay me off, but...

Anyway - Tuna salad with anchovy stuffed olives was by 10:PM dinner.

Rico's never had trans-fats. It was always whey, liquid soybean and
corn oils, cheese, starch, and emulsifiers. And I wasn't the one
being a food snob :-P
