Flickr Cover Photo Size

Flickr.com has a new lay-out which includes a wide cover photo on the Flickr Profile page. Try this size 1583 x 235 pixels. It has worked well for me. You could extend the pixel height too so you have room for height adjustment by using their drag tool

If you're feeling rather lazy about your Flickr profile page header then just choose - Edit Cover Photo and choose the largest photo you have in your Photostream; Flickr will just adjust this to fit the cover photo area.

What if I don't want to touch anything?
Not a problem. Flickr has existing header cover photo presets for those who don't mind having a stock photo on their header.

But I don't like the new Flickr layout. Same here. I don't like the photo I'm looking at, coming at me in "POP-UP" form. It will take awhile and a lot of getting used to the new Flickr site design.

SmarBro TPIN- Why Calling the SmartBRO Hotline is Only a Neverending Quest to Go Online for a TPIN


Save yourself from the frustration of calling the SmartBro hotline. At their Smartbro hotline 672-7277. There are just too many prompts to contend with, you sink deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole and you have to keep up with the instructions on what number to choose.

I think the Smart Communications Customer Service process is just ingenious, they've manage to alienate their subscribers and eliminate any need for a customer service agent at the same time.

I had to choose '1' for billing until I ended up at a level where they had to ask for my Service Account Number which I dialed in, and that's like a really loooong number, the automated voice would actually repeat your smartbro Service Account Numberagain just to make sure its correct, only to find out that's its practically worthless because the next level you'd be prompted for a Smart TPIN! WTF! yes a Smart TPIN! which you have to get online and register here http://smart.com.ph/connect

I doubt anyone who calls their hotline is ready with that fricking TPIN!

and after all that you have to dial again and hope you get through to some human at the other end of the line. And if you're calling from a payphone you're out of luck. Its a hassle.

And Smart is banking on your patience and frustration with their ultimate timewasting customer service process service, it saves them money because you're bound to give up and not call them anymore. Ingenious, di ba?

For a similar story, read this one:

So sino niloloko ng Smart? :( Tayo po mga subscribers nila. They earned from us, but wouldn't give you the time of the day to sort out the problems we're encountering with their products and services.

If you don't believe how frustrating things are with their hotline- try dialing  672-7277 and experience Smart's arrogance firsthand. They've built themselves a wall high enough, so they can't hear any of the customer complaints.

Smart's got game, but doesn't play ball right :(

Christian Bale Visits Aurora Colorado

Christian Bale is a true knight in these dark times. He's not the sociopathic Psycho Patrick Batemen as we would all like to believe right after his batshit crazy video on the Terminator set went viral. All is forgiven!


Thanks for showing up real classy, not in costume, just jeans and a black shirt just like everyone else.


Quite the stand up guy. Hope the visit will somehow give Christian Bale enough sleep at night. Well he's an actor and a very good and emotional one at that- for sure the pain of the Aurora shootings doesn't escape his thoughts. People got shot in a movie he starred in, no actor wants that kind of baggage.



Imagine, the last thing some of those people saw in that theater before they got shot down was his face on screen. Imagine, them now waking up seeing him at their bedside. Imagine the freakouts that must've been.

Bale looks like a difficult man to deal with, but I think his wife Sibi Blazic really knows how to keep up with his highs and lows, tempers and mania. 

Hey, he went to Colorado on his own, regardless the outcome. Christopher Nolan was just too stucked up in his ass to do the same thing. Nolan just watched shit go down on the news and all he could think about is his 'art' and releasing a statement about the savage shooter. boo hoo.

Publicity stunt or honest show of support - it doesn't matter, Christian Bale braved the public and the anguish of the victims to reach out in Aurora even for a day.

But the one coincidence that boggles me most with the Batman Trilogy - Is James Holmes and Katie Holmes related? Whoa.
