Clearly just so I can use it to find HD Kitten Videos …

Thoughtfully I’ve highlighted the option here …

Five years ago today Flickr was launched, powered by hardworking nerds …

… five years later it’s now powered by hardworking nerds, Magic Donkeys, Pandas, APIs, Users and Evil Cats.

Yay us!

Jason over at Nihilogic has a post up called Getting your ASCII on with Flickr …

“You simply enter the search query of your choice and click the “Asciify” button. A request is then sent off to the Flickr server and any photos that match the query are returned. The image data is analyzed and turned into ASCII characters.”

Obviously I made a Kitten and you too can get flickrasciified over here.

I popped this one into the Kitten Offline Queue three weeks ago and it’s finally made it. With a little tuning I’m told we could easily scale to Kitten November.

And for my next trick, a keyboard in the dishwasher!

"Correcting many months of breakfast bagel poppyseeds, crumbs and the occasional coffee drip; these things were sustainable events, but a beer spill was the thing that finally put it out of commission."

Setting aside the whole how do you get beer spilt into your office keyboard question* , Scott, if you’re going to clean your keyboard perhaps we should get one of these for the office instead …

Keyboard cleaning

… for a far more thorough solution?

With a positive plethora of photos and videos they go totally to town with kittens, and why the heck not?

If you’re into an excess of artistic bourgeoisie I guess, meanwhile, over here on the Dev blog, we’re all about simplicity, efficiency and optimization. Where Kitten Tuesday is just that, a Kitten on Tuesday, otherwise we may as well have Furry Friday Fiesta.

So without further ado, A reader writes:

"We’re loving Kitten Tuesdays. Any chance you could consider JJ for a future appearance?"

Why of course, here’s JJ …

And only two posts since the last kitten, looks like we have some catching to do too keep up with that other blog . But to show we can be just as Photoggy as them …

Perhaps the cutest kitten in the world.

We’re also looking at sorting out the font/style of the blog if you’re reading the it on the interwebs, it’s a little, hummmm, yucky at the moment.

By way of an apology here’s a kitten.
