"minifesto" is a tool that uses Lisp behind the scenes to generate animated GIF LJ icons containing any text the user enters.

Definitely "nifty".

Edit: I totally spaced on giving credit to the creator of this lovely tool! I apologize to all of you for that, and to him most of all. Credit goes to xach!

Hmm, I don't think the animated gif fits the LJ anim-gif spec.

How so? I rolled the GIF-writer from scratch, so it's possible I fouled something up...

Lisp for the win.

Ha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one going "It's written in Lisp? COOL!" One of these days I'd love to play with Lisp again.

Definately nifty.

Not as nifty as that user picture!
