I'm working on re-writing all my camera scripts (much more bad craziness in store). the first output is a rewrite of the distortion cam. Click for cool stuff...

The image is now dynamically generated each time you reload the page. Thanks to some great image code from jwz's webcollage (see my post about that a couple days ago), I can write cool stuff like expiration times onto the file, making the browser know to reload the image on each reload (without having to reload everything else). The script is called just like an image and prints out image data.

I'll stick the script up at eScripting for whoever's interested.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
