GiFEED is a small PHP script that takes titles from an RSS feed and uses them to build an animated Gif file for use in email signatures, forum posts, and just about anything else that you can think of.

I originally put this together back in 2007 and completely forgot it even existed, but recently found it while going through some old files. I think this is the very first script I wrote in PHP, not too long after beginning at Latina. Beforehand, virtually everything I had been working on was based on Microsoft languages and tools. This was a way to start working with something new and now that I look at it a few years later, I think it’s still pretty sweet.

Granted, it isn’t the cleanest script in the world, but it does work and I think I’m going to rewrite it in the near future. Anyway, check it out and let me know if you use it for something.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get myself better organized. I’ve always found that keeping to-do lists makes a huge difference, but can never seem to find a system that works well for me. TeaxDeaux, a new to-do list web app by swissmiss and Fictive Kin, is just what I’ve been looking for! It’s really easy to use, and best of all, does just what it should without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Check it out.
