Hi There,
I wanted to get cloud.php for either mmsdiary or peffisaur to be able to create the sort of mosaics that got you slashdotted:) I am an admin for a Medical marijuana ID site www.rxcbc.org and would like to be able to host this feature on one of our servers... I was going to feed it pictures from many sources not simply MMS sources
any chance of getting the php source?


thanx in advance
gwen

The clouds.php is not really the thing that does the cloud effect. It's just a page that links to the images. The clouds are done with a shell-script (that I have done), Imagemagick (to convert GIF/JPEG to RAW image data), a C-program (that I have done) to do the actual merging of an image) and then some Imagemagick again to go back to JPEG. It's all run by cron at regular intervals.

I was planning to release the source code of the script and the C-program eventually but I have not yet done so. I was rather surprised by the Slashdot attack and has had lots of problems with that in the last few days. That's not exactly the time when you feel a need to put out more material if you know what I mean. But I'll release it when I feel it's ready to be released.
