oh why

this ?

hehehehe :) Anyone suffering from epilepsy now can hit escape in FireFox and it will stop the gif ;)

I think I might leave reading this one to the morning…..!

Frame 4 with the deer is a complete masterpiece!

OMG that’s horrid. I think I just had an epileptic seizure.

Right+Click in Safari makes it stop. Makes it all stop. They can’t hurt me as long as I have my Mighty Mouse!

Where is the sound?

Do you have a standard background flickr photo set for your unit test code?

Does anyone know the Firefox command for speed-up-and-magnify? I’m sure some of us would be so glad to hear of it.

This looks like a job for…

I love it! netghost, thanks for the firefox tip.

why: lovely! I would suggest animating it with javascript domswaps so that the user can speed up the animations easily. Also I would reccommend splicing every mod 2 character into a transparent gif then overlaying them with absolute positioning so that you can wobble even and odd chars independently.

Also, to reduce your compatibility in other browsers and make more beautiful animations that are not vulnerable to weak OCR , please write your own fonts in SVG and embed the svg directly in your xhtml. With any luck, you won’t be in the ruby planet in less than 5 posts.

What the fuck? Please stop this.

I hope this helps the kid who is doing the google summer of code “rails in browser breakpointer”. I also hope he is not succeptible to seizures.

Do you use Exceptions as continuations? You raise Continue, which doesn’t make sense outside that context.

Keep these coming _why, great code, and quite fun to get working! Do you have a script that generates these? I would love to add this to my blaagh

_why, much as I appreciate your continued experimentation with Ruby, I miss the old days of clever syntax hacks that made programming not only fun and interesting, but an honest to goodness adventure.

This latest series has been more like a bad trip than anything else, I’m afraid to say.

What a bunch of pantswetters. Bravo, _why.

cdcarter: It would appear that he’s using the Continue exception much as one might use a catch … throw … end block. As far as I can tell, the advantage is one less indent level because of the method-level ensure.

It’s GREAT !

IT’S LIKE I ’M ON DISCO VACATION !

yo

Stayin’ Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiive

_Why: I’m using ImageZoom but I don’t know how to control speed. I don’t see any mechanism for stepping through the images now that I have hit Escape to freeze it. HTH .

ヤベ〜 c’est magnific!

You need to do this shit in SVG so at least we can copy it.

I suspect that I many people will now go to Why’s blog to not see the code, but how it is presented.

哥们儿，还让不让人看了？

_why, I must say: you are a man who knows how to say “fuck you” to his critics. :-)

Just discovered that in Firefox, attempting to drag the image will give the “you can’t do that” slashed circle, and will freeze the image temporarily. Thus you can get to see all the images inside by repeating this. This is still with the above image tool installed.

anybody have any comments about what the code does? or are you just masking the fact that you dont know by complaining about images on the web?

Is that a Fallow Deer?

i see a moose

You can drag the image to your Desktop and view it with Preview to see all the images.

Using Escape in Camino will also cause the image to stop.

This looks much simpler than IRB ::Irb.

But why do you define exceptions and raise Empty instead of just throw-ing :empty?

Do you sometimes want to pass a message along with the thrown thing? Do you want doco on them in RDoc?

Just not in the habit I guess.
