Screensaver bounty claimed

Okay all. Remem­ber this post? I was look­ing for a Mac screen­saver that could show pics pulled dynam­i­cally from a web site/folder. Well, I have it. Gabe at Cel­lar Door Soft­ware was two-thirds of the way there with his Ran­domWeb screen­saver, and he pushed it the rest of the way with my prodding.

$100 is wing­ing its way to him via PayPal.

I have, of course, sub­mit­ted a bunch of sug­ges­tions to him for the next ver­sion, but the cur­rent one (v 1.3 as of this writ­ing) does what I needed. You’ll want to choose “Loca­tion” as the type, and put in the address:

>http://dannytiffanyandfamily.com/screens/

As the loca­tion address. Then it should just work. There are lots of set­tings, and it is a lit­tle com­pli­cated, but it does do the job. Also, the other func­tion­al­ity is pretty cool, too. You can set Ran­domWeb to scrub pics off a web site (like nasa.gov) or do a Google image search for your search term (like “pup­pies”). You can imple­ment Google’s Safe­Search, too, to lessen the unex­pected surprises.

It is a neat bit of software.
