Animated LED sign userpic maker

[xach]

Hi! I made minifesto a while ago, and a lot of lj niftiers seemed to enjoy it.

I just finished up another tool for animated text icons called signbot. It makes a scrolling LED sign and it has a setting specifically for making LJ userpics.

Enjoy!

Neat!

(I'm not sure if it's helpful or annoying to know that I made an icon that came in at 47,754 bytes, opened it up in GIMP and optimized it for animated gif and got it down to 39,501 bytes losslessly.)

Thanks for the info, that's good to know. The current frame generation system makes a compromise between speed and GIF size, and the GIF size loses out a bit. I may revisit it in the future to get better sizes.

I see your animated sign and raise you the Snark-A-Tron.

The original dnalounge post made me realize the unfilled Internet need for a virtual LED sign generator.

Cool.

(btw, That's a picture of me dnalounge post, configuring the sign prior to installation.)
