flickTrick

The flickr Ser­vices API is quite amaz­ing. So I made a lit­tle appli­ca­tion called flick­Trick using phpFlickr.
tI is capa­ble of pro­duc­ing either image mosaics on the basis of pub­lic pho­tos of a given flickr account, or it it can gen­er­ate a col­lage as the one you can see in the header part of this page, by sim­ply adding fol­low CSS to it.

As cre­at­ing a col­lage can take sev­eral sec­onds, I imple­mented a caching ver­sion. It firstly returns the last image stored for the given para­me­ters and then cre­ates a new image. This ver­sion can be accessed by using “fast-collage.php” instead of “collage.php”.
