With 3 unsatisfactory draft post sittin’ in the chuck waggon. I am delighted to have to the opportunity to boil some coffee, sit back and shoot my mouth off. Or rather shoot this gif out from the hip:
If I have to justify this in terms of DS106 I refer to a bit of char on Alan and Mariana’s radio show: A Bit of Rodeo Clowning on First High Noon Radio Show – DS106 Tricks where Alan talked about thinking about size, quality and the like in animated gifs and trying to make them look good and keep the size down. Then Sandy mentioned on G+ that this gif was a bit quick.
A couple of older experiments with gifs:
Gifsicle options
requiem colour pallets
And a post Why Gif? might be relevant.
