new year, new look

I've been fiddling around with new fonts, flickrj, and photoshop over christmas. moreover, the contents are now available as rss, which will render a lot nicer in thunderbird — enjoy!

Wow, it looks very nice!

The fact that the pictures change for each page refresh is very cool. All done from scratch or any flickr tools that support this? Maybe worth a blog entry... ;-)

What's the story behind the flush() method? Is that some real code...?

I've put together a very small servlet which uses flickrj to access a random picture from a given flickr set and triggers a redirect to the respective URL. maybe I'll post something about flickrj and bad API design at some point...

the flush() method is copied from java.io.PrintWriter. I was looking for some arbitrary code and this snippet seemed to reflect the "thought-flushing" aspect of blogging quite well. moreover, I like the exception handling ;-)
