I've been using a lot of Google's Services recently. They seem to have a lot of good idea and though, sometimes, their implementations can be a bit iffy they often hit the mark. One thing that I strangely like about the service (and I really do mean strangely like rather than, say, hate) is the Google Ads that you get for your GMail. It's such fun seeing what crazy crap will be advertised based on the parser grabbing the content of your mail :D. I had an advert for a (I presume) kids TV program called
The Wiggles based on a conversation about wiggling while dancing. Ah such fun.
Anyway I wrote, some time ago now, a script (well not really it's in Java but it's so short I'd be ashamed to call it a program) to grab favourites from
Flickr and add them to a directory for rotating in your background images. I've been meaning to talk about it and upload it at some stage and since I don't have an Application Development blog then I figure I'll probably post it here at some stage. Not sure if anyone who reads my blog will be interested but I figure it will be indexed and someone who is interested might come across it.
