It’s the beginning of August, heat is temporarily gone and I wish it took work with it. But no, it’s still lying there and there’s enough of it that I have some problems deciding what to do first.

So how do you solve a problem like that?

Personally, I goof off by writing something fun (still more useful than reading blogs). For example a simple javascript file based on my Marela library that allows me (or you) to insert a single random image from your chosen Marela photostream like this:

If you don’t believe me just reload this page and look at its source.

See? Told you.

If you want to do the same, but don’t want to show my images on your page, just insert


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://markos.gaivo.net/marela/singlerandom.js?username=markos&tag=moja-izbira&size=2"></script>


in your page and replace markos with your Marela username (contact me, if you need an account) and moja-izbira with your chosen tag. You can specify the size of an image with a number from 1 to 3 (2 being default if attribute is missing).

I’ll write some more widgets like this through August, if I don’t change my mind. Hence the title of this post.

Also I’ll write Javascript for first 5 souls who need it as long as it’s a problem that won’t take too much of my time. This offer expires at the end of this month.
