Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to cache my flickr pictures fetched with  
the API (rflickr)?

I want to show my albums first, and then when I click an album I want  
to do a render partial and show the photos of that particular album.  
This works just fine. But a bit slow, because I always have to contact  
Flickr.

Is there a way I can cache both albums and pictures?

Thnx!
