New Flickr Tool!

Posted in flickr downloadr by lloydie on the October 24th, 2007

If you’re like me, you’ve uploaded pretty much all your digital photos to that wonderful photo sharing website that is flickr. In fact, you probably use it to archive your photos too. Kind of like a backup service - just in case you wake up hung over and, in the shock of the phone ringing at some ungodly hour, accidentally knock a glass of water all over your laptop, which subsequently emits some scary blue smoke when you turn it on. Or, you know, something like that.

So what happens when you want a copy of your photos on a different laptop? You download them from flickr, right? If only there was an easy way to download all of them, rather than having to grab each one individually. Well guess what, now there is (although you already knew that, because “you’re like me” apparently).

Introducing flickr downloadr!

ok, so it needs a new name, but it works (mostly).

Please feel free to visit the flickr downloadr page and try it out.

Oh, and it’s at version 0.1 right now, which is a beta. That means if it breaks I’ll apologise and try to fix it as soon as I can. Also, don’t rely on it in any life-or-death situations, as it’ll probably bail on you.

Anyway, watch the flickr downloadr page for updates. I’ll also post on here when new versions come out.
