Symegricity

I love making up new words, and writing code. Tomorrow you can type Symegricity into Google and probably arrive at this post.

I’ve been looking for a reason for the existence of my new little domain name Symegry, and I think I’ve found it. Besides being a showcase for a state of the art HTML5 template, it needed to do something, so here’s what I have at the moment:

The program will now go to Flickr and grab the twenty most recent photos that have been posted to their site. Then, it will pick a random photo out of that set which is then searched against the Flickr database for an image that closely matches the 640×480 requirements. Each photo found is then displayed against the Symegry background.

Please note that I take no responsibility for what images show up there, that’s what random is all about :-) It’s also a work in progress, if it hangs on an image just refresh the page. Any issues should be resolved tonight…

Try it out: Symegry

  1. This is cool! I went to the site twice – once on my own and once to show Dave. I saw the same picture twice! What are the odds of that???
