Can you believe I actually won something? Yea, me neither.

Not sure if you remember or not, but last week there was a bit of an outage on Flickr. Right in the middle of the day and it last about an hour, maybe a little longer.

Isn’t that great. But it did win me 3 months worth of pro service at flickr for FREE! WooT!
