Old Trick: Infinite Screenshares!

so if you have two macs running leopard on a local network, you can get the above effect by sharing the screen from the first mac to the second, then turn on screen sharing within screen sharing window [from the second mac to the first] and you get this.
also, it turns out it is very hard to get a good screen-cap. use cmd+option+3; grab don’t work.

Make your own Worst Comic Ever!

If you have ever wanted to make the worst comics ever, you now can, with ease! Just follow this link: http://www.flickr.com/gp/74828460@N00/67S53U to download them from Flickr, or if you want the raw materials, follow this link: http://dave.subrevolt.com/worstcomicever.zip for a zip file of the five templates I use in *.bmp format.

For extra fun, remember to use MSPAINT.EXE to edit the pictures and use Comic Sans for the font!

Of course, that is what I use to make mine mummy. Do whatever the hell you want with them! If you send me your works I will republish them on subREVOLT and here for the whole of the inter-nets to see!

How To: Make a Random Image Generator (random image funtimes!)

OK so A asked me how to make a random images dealie. You can use this for it’s own dedicated page, like this!

First you will need a site that can run a simple php script! THey may have security set you you can’t do that, and quite possibly for a good reason! However, try it out. The script I use is here: http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage.

Next, gather pictures randomly from the itnerwebs or your own stuff, or better yet both! The easiest way for me to do so is to make a folder, like “misc” or “random” on my desktop, and I drag interesting things I see on the internetwebs into that folder! NOTE: This works great as a pictures folder for your screensaver!

I then copy the folder up to the web server with that php script, in the same directory to keep things nice and neat, and then I link to the random.php file just as if it were a regular image like a .jpg in a simple little img tag!

Mystery solved LOL!
