AnthroSite
21 January 2007 12:15A couple weeks ago I posted about a python program that I was making in order to make things a bit easier when I make up a photographic web site, like the ones for RCFM and MFF. Then, it needed quite a bit of work. I might be done (if any program is really ever done) now.
I've dubbed it AnthroSite as:
1. The name wasn't being used by some other program as far as Google knows.
2. The sites I've been making and wanted it for are full of anthropomorphic creatures.
3. I like the pun which I justify as at times it seemed like I was groping in the dark like my lamp went out in a coal mine.
What does it look like now? Well, if you peak behind the cut you'll see: ( BIG screen shot. )
I made it just for myself, but I could see others having use for it. It does not fully automate everything. It requires that the images be named a certain way, and expects them to be already be sized and oriented properly. I edit the image files anyway (some things are best cropped out of shot, after all), so I don't see that as an issue. Others might disagree, but then I suppose if everything is to be automatic there's always Flickr or such.
I suppose I could write up a page on how it works as while I know how it works, not everything is apt to obvious to someone else. That is, if anyone else will ever use it. As the program is written in python, I think (but don't know for sure) that it will run on any system that python (and the python image library) will install on - and python will install on Linux, *BSD, Windows, Mac, and I don't know what all else.
