I’ve decided to put up all the code for my doubting.us project – it uses MooSizer to scale the images, JS, CSS, PHP and HTML for the rest. I decided to strip down the functionality so it could be easily shareable and easily updated. I had everything in a database but moved it into a PHP file instead, so there is no need to setup mySql, etc.

Installing Doubting.us

1) Download the ZIP archive
2) Upload to your Web server, and that’s it!

How to add pictures

1) Open functions.php and add a new line to the array found at the top of the doc. Here’s the syntax to follow, don’t forget the comma at the end there :
array(”name_of_your_image.jpg”,”Descriptive text”,”Slide label”,”Permalink_parameter_use_a_number_here”),
2) upload the “name_of_your_images.jpg” image in the images folder, and you’re done.

How to delete pictures

Basically just undo what you did in the last step, although deleting the image in your “images” folder in not necessary. You can take out pretty much any line in that functions.php file, just make sure the code respects the syntax described earlier once you’re done.

I was in the bus for a few hours last weekend, and decided to fire up processing to make some simple patterns.
I actually really like the results, most of them are really simple in code, a bit of stuff in the void setup() and a class that randomizes the positions/alpha/color.
They actually work really well website backgrounds (tiling) in low opacity. Hmmm I would like to silkscreen one of these large format to see what it looks like.
