Finally, there is now a half decent chance of being able to find something again that you added on Ffffound in the past. I was only wondering the other week if there was any way to actually get at your Ffffound collection, well now you can.

For years I kept a ‘nice things’ folder on my machine, where I put anything cool I came across online. Since I started using Ffffound though, the nice things folder has become a little neglected and as soon as something is ffffound, it is almost as quickly llllost.

Check out Ddddownload, you can download your Ffffound collection (or anyone else’s for that matter). Just type the username in and give your email address and a ZIP file is emailed to you. It takes a while if you have a lot of stuff (mine took 20 minutes and weighed in at 145Mb for 1500 items) but after it arrives it unzips everything intact.

Nice, now can someone email me a link to where all my odd socks have gone?

Just discovered a great new website, boxedup.com which allows users to make a wish list of anything from the web. I’ve used Amazon’s wish lists for some time now but always thought there had to be some way of collecting together the random things I find from time to time on the net. Now there is!

The site is only 3 weeks old, so there aren’t many users on there yet, and it does have a few bugs, but it is sure to grow and be developed. It does after all have a nice isometric cube as it’s logo, so obviously I’m already a big fan. Finding out what other people are wishing for and browsing through tags is surprisingly interesting and there are lots of lovely design goodies on there. Chris at the site is all ears for your suggestions and feedback…

For the curious, my own list is here: www.boxedup.com/holster

Incredibly we actually managed to get Glastonbury tickets! They sold out in 20 minutes but multi-phone and online persistence means we’re in! I’ve actually never made it to Glastonbury so after having lived in Bath just down the road for 3 years, it’s long overdue.
