What's going on here?

This blog is my shameless attempt to drive traffic to my open source, free software project: Yet Another Photo Screen Saver. In my opinion, this is a nearly perfect photo screen saver: it shows lots of photos at a time, it shows both your own and other people's photos, and the display updates in a methodical, rhythmic progression.

The screen saver uses photos from your local hard drive, and can also download photos from Flickr. If you're like me and have thousands of photos, you'll get to see tons of images you haven't seen in years. And watching photos downloaded from Flickr is almost as fun as real life people watching.

At this point development is basically complete. I will fix bugs that show up, but probably wont be working on major enhancements any time soon.

This doesn't mean the project is dead. If you're an able-minded coder and would like to contribute, by all means, please do. Some things that I've thought about:

• Port to Mac
• Integrate with other photo sources, like Picasa
• More Flickr photo selection options, such as by interestingness
• Ability to mouseover photos to get additional photo information (like file name, URL, tags, etc.), and perform actions on the photo (like upload to Flickr for photos on the local hard drive, and add to favorites, for photos downloaded from Flickr)

If you want to help, leave a comment here and we'll get in touch.

That's it! Enjoy!
