what software did you use to do that? or was it done with a photocopier and paste? |

larger version? |

Larger version is 2048x1536!!! r40f I wrote a program to collect all users, their numbers, and their number of posts from xlt and dump it into a file. then it filters out everyone below 1000 posts (this is to save phobia's bandwidth).. then it downloads the images, squashes frames, and then to render the mosaic is uses . |

glad people like it! I'm going to find some good images to mosaic and will then post some more shit, and yes with links to big ones. |

yeah this metapixel program is kinda sucky. It also does things with far too high regularity; on the first one you can see some placed every n tiles consistently.. then again fhe first one was a bad example, having two fucking colors and little detail. |

ahh that's so wicked. Well done :D |

dude you sound amazing at programming |

|
|

|

excellent. i'm on the top centre of the 7\. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty neat, what did you write it in. perl sounds like it would be a good candidate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't write the hard part (the actual mosaic computation), just the easy stuff =( dennispearce ruby |
||||||||
|
|

|

Looks cool. I'll have to change my avtar to something more noticeable though. |
||||||||
|

|
|
To me, searching a database, filtering, downloading all automatically is pretty advanced. Microsoft needs you! |

I still won't take a compliment, but here's some fun stats gleaned from the data I stored: irb(main):008:0> [0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000].each {|n| irb(main):009:1* puts "#{(ul.select {|u| u.posts >= n }).size} users with #{n} posts or more" irb(main):010:1> } 3577 users with 0 posts or more 1462 users with 10 posts or more 925 users with 50 posts or more 743 users with 100 posts or more 418 users with 500 posts or more 280 users with 1000 posts or more 173 users with 2000 posts or more 73 users with 5000 posts or more 24 users with 10000 posts or more 4 users with 20000 posts or more => [0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000] irb(main):011:0> (ul.select { |u| u.posts >= 10000 }).each { |u| puts "#{u.name} [#{u.uid}] posts: #{u.posts}" } Ophecks [33] posts: 14938 titsworth [41] posts: 14116 nacmat [42] posts: 23440 The_Funkmaster [61] posts: 15540 pOgO [74] posts: 10894 Jedi Chris [146] posts: 10965 Ceri JC [183] posts: 16302 recycle [188] posts: 20110 marlowe [298] posts: 16028 giginger [341] posts: 15847 Drunken Mastah [535] posts: 10566 princo [547] posts: 13332 earthleakage [576] posts: 17259 uzim [820] posts: 12875 roygbivcore [829] posts: 18234 JAroen [863] posts: 14312 Zeus [1015] posts: 13369 virginpusher [1053] posts: 14654 tolstoyed [1067] posts: 32119 ecnadniarb [1455] posts: 16061 qrter [1538] posts: 31027 DJ Xammax [1541] posts: 10666 tibbar [1978] posts: 10487 Anus_Presley [2028] posts: 17833 irb(main):015:0> puts "#{ul.size} users; last one has uid #{ul[-1].uid}" 3577 users; last one has uid 5940 |

I'd forgotten I was member 341. Scary. Man, this is a cool thing. Do you think it's possible you could do one that does have the avatars moving? Would be funny to see these moving avatars amongst still ones :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol 3577 users with less than 10 posts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually you're reading that data wrong.. each user set listed is a subset of the previous (so 3577 is not users with 0..9 posts, it's users with 0 or more posts..) giginger yeah that'd be nice.. I only spent a few minutes on this and like I said earlier I didn't write the actual mosaic thinger, and it doesn't have an option for animation (I have to convert all gifs before it starts processing!) =/ |
||||||||
|
|

:P |

I've also done some programming in the past. Here's a simple I made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah right. It's all beyond my anyway. I should learn to do some programming though. What in is the problem!?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seeing corrupted girl in the user list reminded me her old avatar would work pretty well. giginger who cares? just start gobbling up languages--it's fun! |

I'm saddened by the distinct lack of automatic bank robots in these images. |

|
|
check out my program plz :P . I would like your superior judgement |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Dude I have thought about that at least 4 different times. I cannot fathom what's going on, but I guess this metapixel thing is completely intimidated by you. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
It's a windows executable, and I run linux =( sorry |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

by the way you should change that ftp password NOW ..well, or not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha! I have a limited amount of brain power :P Seriously. Recommend one that would be useful in general. I'm thinking Javascript at the moment.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol its funny you say that because I can't. I just play on peoples trust that they won't nick it. Please don't :( It's the only space I have 10mb is my limit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Don't say such things! Doing things REALLY well is hard for anyway (look at all the screwups marring history). ANYWAY, I would never use it in my own software (but note I know it pretty well (meaning I've released software in it)), but java may be a satisfying and fun start. what a gay recommendation. My favorites these days are C and ruby, but what the fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps you should submit the full size mosaic to the xltronic gallery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool. Thank you. I'll have a look at all three. Whichever looks easiest I'll start with and work up :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, phobes will love these |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. I dunno if they're good enough.. I could render some more creative stuff (like amber properly) if I use higher resolution images.. some day maybe I'll improve the mosaic thingy, since it just barely gets the job done.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, the C and ruby are personal picks and definitely you can start anywhere but Java is my 'official' recommendation--lots of free tools, lots of use, lots of power. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

People seemed to like these, so here are a few more. Amusingly, the very first post in this thread (which was my second; the first was that with larger tiles, and looked shit) was the best. these are using ALL members.. and don't worry, I downloaded them with a 2 second delay between each (two hours total), so I didn't hammer the server. I was just experimenting to get higher quality mosaics.. the problems metapixel has (which I mentioned earlier) still show up.. oh well |
