I can hardly bring myself to write this post.
There’s this cool new Flickr toy: dopiaza’s set generator, which allows you to automatically create new sets on flickr based on various criteria such as interestingness, date posted and tags, or even from a random set of photographs.
Great idea. I decided to do it — to replace my "Your Favorites" set with a "Most Interesting" set.
So I deleted the "Your Favorites" set.
And all the photos in it.
All my best-loved, and no-doubt best, photos.
Anyone who blogged them, including me, now has a This photo is currently unavailable box instead of a photo in their post.
I still have these photos, on my computer — I hope — but will not be able to remember all of them. And they won’t be at the same URL, so no automatic post fixing.
Believe me, I am very, very sorry.
