Kwikr for Flickr

We haven't finished our ambitious Quickr project yet, but I still wanted to download all my Flickr photos at full resolution for use in an iPhoto project.

The solution was so simple it hurts. I needed:

A key for the Flickr web services API

Flickrj, a .jar file for connecting to said API

Kwikr.java, about 50 lines of Java code to download my photos

When an open web service like Flickr Services and a powerful language like Java combine, life is good!
