Flickr idGettr
As Gregory pointed out, there’s not really an easy way to figure out your Flickr user id number. The only thing you can really do is take a look at the source of your photostream and pick the id out of the RSS feed address.
To remedy the situation I threw together Flickr idGetter, a little page that finds the user id for you. It essentially does the same thing you would, grabs the page, looks at the source and finds your id.

Council tells 8 year-old girl to hitch-hike rather than take school bus
It goes by the house, but apparently the council can’t afford to have it stop because the house is just withing the 2-mile radius around the school.
Sin City
Finally got around to seeing Sin City a couple of days ago after a number of aborted attempts. It seemed like time conspired against any attempts to actually get out to a movie theatre. I won’t make this long because there are tons of other reviews you could read at this point. I’ll say that stylistically it’s pretty amazing and definitely worth checking out in the theatre before it goes away. It’s also worth it to see Elijah Wood in an incredibly creepy post-Hobbit role.
My only complaint would be that the dialogue was a tad on the stilted side, then again, it reflected the comic book style. If I had to complain about something else, I’d say that it took me awhile to figure out what the hell was going on in the film.
