John Tolva let out a quick request the other week on twitter for a Flickr photostream timeline, it sounded like a quick hack was possible using Simile and the Flickr API; both of which I wanted to have a play with for investigative purposes. It turned out to be nice and straightforward, the Simile API from MIT is flexible and simple to use, so much so that I should really spend a bit more tweaking my Flickr timeline to make it look prettier, but hey this is just a quickie

So this is where your hiding these days! Just passing the time today waiting to jet off on holiday tonight.
Just tried your gizmo, but can’t seem to get it to work. Perhaps it’s cause I’m a tight scot and won’t pay for a pro account

you’ll need to scroll left or right on yours to start with though before you get to your pics, looks like you had a large date gap between posting shots on flickr and it the timeline defaults to the mid point datewise for your pics.
