Web Browser torture...

May 05, 2008 00:49

I think this is one of the most hilarious abuses of technology ever - taking an image and converting it to HTML. And it actually works pretty well. So I took an image in my web gallery and converted it. Why - because I could!

Think you've got a fast computer and web browser - think again!

Torture your web browser!!...and for reference the JPG ( Read more... )

So this creates a large HTML table, with each column being 1x1 and the appropriate color?

That's the idea. Although the aspect does seem to be off a bit... hrm...

The HTML version's aspect ratio was different than the JPEG version on mine (Safari 3.1.1, Mac OS X 10.5.2)

Same here. Horizontally stretched.

Agreed - it is off a bit. Hrm...

Wow! THat's actually really neat!

Totally silly and stupid - but kinda cool in a very dorky way!

It's really not very different from this move to replace all binary data formats with XML.

Re: Hmm. inqueery May 8 2008, 04:33:55 UTC

I suppose that is true! ;-D Although there IS some point to making XML for many datatypes. For images, its pretty hard to argue for any benefit at the pixel level! ;-D
