flickrFavs v 0.1

I love flickr, and i wanted to have my favorites in my hard drive in order to see them with picasa or something like that.

So i made this .Net application using the Flickr.Net API with a little modification. I guess you will need the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 beta 2 (here) to run it

FlickrFavs allows you to download the original size of any flickr user public favorites.

Here's a screenshot:

How to use it:

• Choose a folder to put the pics
• Enter a username and click the "get user info" button
• Wait for the user info to be displayed
• Choose the page (or pages) of the user favorites to download
• Click download
• Be pacient,... some of the pics are 5MB or larger
• Enjoy

The filename format for the downloaded pics is userId-pictureId.jpg it could look like this 38113767@N00-921348e931.jpg (pretty weird... uh?)

Flickr.Net uses a cache system, so if you started downloading your pics and for some reason you have to stop and return another day,... you can start where you left.

I made this program in just one sleepless night, so there may be many bugs. I will release the source code acording to the GPL license, but not today. Today i'm very tired,.... I release it today, 'cause i know myself. If i don't do this today... well i'm a perfectionist and that is my curse

Anyway, if you're interested in the code (which is very simple) i can send it to you.

I'm planning to incorporate some other fancy stuff in this little program, like organize the pictures in folders by username and title, show a progressbar for each photo, etc.

By the way,... use it at your own risk :P

ID3SharpTool

This is my C# implementation (very simple) of the ID3 Data mining Algorithm. I know there is weka, but i wanted to do my own implementation and to experiment with a XML format as a representation of the database.

I use Xpath to do all the countings involved.

This is how it looks an input file: weather.

You can download the code (a SharpDevelop project) and a binary here. You can do whatever you want with this code, but if you find it useful or you improve it, please let me know.

I use a php script to convert from de input file from the arff format

Cioran, Dostoyevski, Kierkegaard, Hesse, Tolstoi, Proust, Nietzsche, Kafka... where are my Baudelaire's Books?! :| (just a little part of my collection)

During my teenage Nietzsche was my principal influence, now in my youth it is Cioran but beyond them it will always be Dostoyevski: The writer, the philosopher, the psychologist.

My favorite books: Crime and punishment and White nights
