A screenshot of deskFlickr v1.0 in action. It displays info on the current background and a thumbnail of the next image it will load. You can always click 'Next' to hurry it up!

You might find that learning HTML is really worth your trouble.

And so it begins...

I'm launching my blog today so I can share some of the apps I've been writing in my free time. Wow, did I just say that I have free time ? Weird. Okay, the first thing I'm putting up here is a little utility I wrote to change my desktop wallpaper to random photos from Flickr, I call it deskFlickr. You simply enter some tags you want to search for, choose a delay and hit Play. Voila, your desktop changes. It minimizes to the system tray to unclutter your desktop. I put in all the features I wanted but feel free to ask for more. You'll find a download link in the sidebar, so enjoy. It is written in C# and will run on most Windows machines, give it a shot and let me know if you have problems.

PS: Just right click the link, and choose Save As...
