I had written a command-line script to upload photos to Flickr, but it used the old auth mechanism. A couple of days ago a co-worker pinged me because he was having problems getting auth to work. I realized I never cared about the web auth. I’ve extended the code to allow for that now. Apart from that I did some cleanup, etc.

And since the old auth no longer works, I’ve hacked up a simple script to upload photos to Flickr. (You’ll need the API too, of course.) Using it:

./flickr-uploadr.rb path/to/images/dir/ tag1,tag2,tag3

Hope someone finds it useful. :-)
