My sweet memories

My sweet memories

I was recalling my sweet memories "Naa Autograph" so that to watch my old photographs which were amazing for me at the moment I remember, I wanted to see all of them. So soooooon started locating them on my laptop oops, then on my hard drive oops then trying to recall all my web albums webshots , Picasa , photobucket and in my most active flickr account here also I could not found.

I am confused where all my pic's ??? and I was panic helpless for some time what happened ? Just thinking thinkingggggggggggggggggggg what could be d problem???

I am sure I do remember they should be in at least one among above. Yes I do remember they are in my yahoo photos. Now yahoo photos are moved in to flickr. I do remember some time backkkkkk I saw them on my flickr account, but now I could not able to figure all those.

Started investigating what could be problem by googleing no much information, then queried customer care by mailing in first mailing he did not explained then I explained him all scenarios starting from 2003 to till now.. then CCare replied as flickr's free account can view only most recent 200 pics's.

Oh by the by hands-off to flickr customer care all these things I get to know in few minutes appreciated their team for in time response.

So now what should I do???

If I remove these recent 200 pic's I can view previous ones that I get to know, To do that I need to delete all these recent pic's, I don't have a backup so first I need to took back up then delete, unfortunately flickr don't have any bulk download utilities inside of website you can down load one at a time its sucks. May be they don't want to waste their bandwidth for downloading images to your machine, so they don't provide any such utility.

Again took the help of google baba got some tools, how do I believe which tool working fine ??? Randomly chosen one FlickrDown the web page descriptions looks good so , and installed it. And able to down load first recent 200 pic's and deleted all these pic's woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow I could able to view my old pic's now I am so happy, I can view my old memories hope as come "I can recall my olden golden days"

So repeated above procedure take back-up, delete 200pics ….ho my god there are so many picks, I repeated almost 9 times means I have around 1800+ snaps in my flickr, it took me around 6 hours+ in this process learned some ipconfig related commands to flush my cache etc. FlickrDown was not that much matured tool it has some limitations at last thank god all of them downloaded and recaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalled my friends , visiting places , my rare collections etc.

But one sad thing, I have kept some reference from my flickr to my blogs all those references has gone now.

Now I need to say thanks to FlickrDown team who made easy my task, and obviously to flickr also keeping all my pics.

Moral: Don't believe in xyz website hosting sites all ways they will have *'s conditions applied better keep your very precious things in your external disk at your premises.
