You could make it in java then wrap it in cocoa? Yeah I’m doing well, been keeping my head down :)

Log time no see! Hope you're well. I must admit I didn't even think of doing this with Java - I guess because I just haven't used it in such a long time. Is there a way to make screensavers with it? It would be pretty easy to convert I guess as a lot of the code will just copy-and-paste. Anyways I'm about 75% of the way to a native Mac version - runs lovely so far. Stay tuned... Hi Si!

You could use the flickrj library on SourceForge?? Hi Simon, why don’t you do this in java / processing? You could use the flickrj library on SourceForge??

Not sure what that error means - I have mailed you and we'll see if I can fix it. I am going to completely rewrite it from scratch anyway and hope to have a much better version in the next few weeks.

Has the comedy side-effect of making the image scaling worse (though I guess I could just temporarily set _quality when I'm scaling an image). I might try a few more Flash tricks but I'm pretty set on a rewrite in a proper language. I'll mail you the files so you can try this out on your PC; maybe it's just slow on my 5-year-old mac...

I find it work's a treat on this kinda stuff. You tried setting the movie _quality to low? I find it work’s a treat on this kinda stuff.
