pechaflickr notes

The idea for pechaflickr came completely from Giulia Forsythe who asked if my Five Card Flickr could do this (no, but phpflickr and the useful jQuery Cycle made it not too hard).

You can download the code and run it on your own web site; see http://code.google.com/p/pechaflickr/

To Maybe Be Done Someday

Set a check before trying load photos that there are enough photos for the tag to display.
Create a way to save a series as a set to share or post with notes (needs database)

History

5.1.2011 - First version released
5.11.2011 - Based on feedback, added the counter (I refuse to add a timer, that takes away the fun).
7.11.2011 - On request of @kylemackie, added a field option to specify other numbers of slides for those wanting to do shorter (or longer) than standard 20 slide pecha kucha.
7.13.2011 - Added the flickr safe search option for results to try and reduce the fear of random naked body parts appearing (no guarantees). Source code posted to google http://code.google.com/p/pechaflickr/
8.15.2011 - Revised code to hopefully address the bug of all images going to a white bar- making sure only landscape orientation photos are fetched from flickr, and none that are too small in one dimension. All images displayed are now exactly sized to correct dimensions to fit the CSS div used for display.
10.20.2011 - Slide show options now moved to a separate page to allow user selection of number of slides and duration between slides- an onscreen calculator shows the duration of the slideshow. Basic front page offers standard 20x20 pecha kucha style.
10.29.2011- Tweaked flickr fetch to increase randomizing of photos, updated splash images to remove references to "20" slides.
11.12.2011- ~~The slide show screen now displays credits for flickt photo- photo title and photo ownerflickr name.~~ This was a bit buggy, it is going back into the lab.
