OK, I just opened Chrome to try it there, and I don't get any buttons when I view. Huh.
Eta: but I can add a .pdf to Drive using Firefox no problem.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yahoo is buying Tumblr, so I'm not sure the comparision with Geocities works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I should probably call my friend who was just hired by Tumblr and warn her that the end is nigh...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd be surprised if she didn't know, but does anyone have news on what plans Yahoo has for it? It fills a number of visual niches, not least of all because the pictures are only limited by a general sense of legality.
But I don't see how this is necessarily a worse thing than going to MS or FB, which seemed to be the other options.
Someone was buying that puppy, sooner rather than later.

Oh, I just meant the Geocities parallels. I don't remember how long that brand persisted after 1999.

Maybe they'll be a Flickr and not a Geocities--Flickr's limping around still. But does Yahoo need more staff?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was just going to be off Tumblr for 2 months (Shelock spoilers and no Tumblr Savior for the iPad, which is all I have with me). Now I wonder what shape it will be in when I get back.
I'm sure the children are gnashing their teeth and rending their garments.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thoughts on the Flickr redesign? My first impression, as someone who manages an account for my work, is that it's much less useful to us now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, linear functionality pretty much doesn't exist any longer. For those of us with high difficulty processing visual polyglot, it's confusing, disorienting, and ultimately not worth perservering in trying to work with the new format. I'm looking for a downloader. There are pics on Flickr I only have on internal or external hard drives five computers back. But if Flickr doesn't restore some function, or provide alternate options for page views, I'm grabbing my pictures, even if I have to right-click-save each one individually, and deleting my pro account.
