My Flickr pro account expires tonight, and I’m once again waffling back and forth between renewing it and letting it revert to free status. The main problem with doing that is that I have not been uploading photos to my image gallery, so nothing on Flickr is backed up. (Well, the original untouched photos are, but not the post-processed ones.)
So, I thought I’d look around online for a tool to suck all my photos out of Flickr, preferably limited by date to just the span since I got lazy about uploading to my image gallery. And, I found Flickr Downloader. I’m giving it a test drive right now, but it seems to be working fine.
If all goes well, I’ll (finally!) update the image gallery, maybe even this weekend.
The other fun thing I came across is TuneFind.com. It isn’t always updated right away, but if you’re looking for the name of a song you heard on a TV show, it’s worth checking out (and checking back a few days after the show first airs). I’ve complained to a couple of networks for not providing song credits at the ends of the show, or at least on the shows’ websites. It seems to me that not making that information readily available to viewers isn’t very helpful to the artists, who surely would like the use of their music to generate some revenue.

That ivy is seriously tenacious. The grounds crew dug tore it off the walls and dug up the roots, but it’s still growing like crazy. I’m going to have a fun time pulling it out of the garden, but if I don’t, it will take over quickly.
