\"a A random Gif<\/em><\/p>\n

A while back I posted about the DS106 random gif api, a rather daft piece of fun: 106 drop in \u00bb Blog Archive \u00bb Gif Scraping and a DS106 Gif API<\/a>. The api seems to be working well and I’ve used it on DS106 GiF TV<\/a> which is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a thought to make a simpler example of using the API and that an idea might be to riff off Alan’s pechaflickr<\/a> making a version that showed animated gifs.<\/p>\n

pechaGif<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This afternoon I took a first run at this. I’ve not copied any of Alan’s code just borrowed the idea. The pechaGif loads 20 random gifs and them displays a start button. Clicking that will full screen 20 gifs for 20 seconds each.<\/p>\n

The page just uses javascript and I’ve kept everything in one file in case anyone wants to use it to see how the gif API works.<\/p>\n

I did not expect anyone to make use of this, but Mariana<\/a> suggested:<\/p>\n

#ds106<\/a> OMG we must make this into a writing assignment: a story from this http:\/\/t.co\/ZgAtkIeYNb<\/a> @johnjohnston<\/a> @cogdog<\/a><\/p>\n

So I guess I may add that to the assignment bank, might give it a go myself first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
