hack sprint - options and tags

Cold, hungry, skipped all the things I should do... but satisfied. Managed to hack a commandline options using optionparser. Then enabled an option for tags, meaning I don't have to use the crappy input box.

Being able to do things with machines gives you a lot more control. Now I can do funky things like

 

- alphabetically sort the tags

- add timestamps in realtime as I upload instead of typing them

- use a real tag taxonomy (greater control of tagging)

- spell check tags before I enter them

- feed my flickr tags to other apps like spock or wordie

- etc, etc.

 

I'm slowly reducing the human work load and getting the machine to do the boring mundane tasks allowing me to get on with things.
