HORRORS!

Oh Hai.

I’ve got so many drafts on WordPress, it’s kind of crazy. One day I’ll do a mega blog post with all of those incomplete bits all mixed up together randomly. That should be interesting. So basically, for all this time, I’ve been trying to write stuff on here, but never finished anything. I’ll come up with something, and prevail, for ever, and ever, and ever.

But eh! There’s a photoblog tab on here now! How did that happen! 
Since everyone I know has one (no, I don’t know anybody else), it was time I posted those photos I felt were really nice - for a reason or another.

Facebook status fed to my veins!

If you haven’t noticed yet, I just put online the script I created to make a nice banner image for my blog from my Facebook status, making Pierre-Nick truly dynamik. In 2 words, it uses SimplePie to fetch the RSS feed of my own status, grabs the latest one and creates an image (with ImageMagick) if not already created, based on date (a kind of simple way to cache).

The font I use is Elements from the free fonts website Urbanfonts. There are probably a few bugs.. If you see any, do tell!

Update: there is an uncaught exception causing fatal errors once in a blue moon (goes away when you reload) (update 2: it does it when the feed is unreachable: Facebook under maintenance, etc). Sucks. I need to put in a nice try and catch sometime ;)
