Your browser does not support iframes.

I put this together a couple of months ago, with the intention to do something else with it, but I haven’t. So I’m just going to publish in this here blog.

It’s a slider puzzle game thingy done with a bunch of HTML5 canvas tags and some seriously hard to follow javascript. It uses random images from Flickr (taken real-time from the recent interesting pictures page). I wanted to provide creds for all the photographers, as I should, but alas I am too unmotivated to take that piece on.

Have fun.

Personally, I have yet to solve a puzzle.

Fight Spam with Free Ready Made CAPTCHA Service

CAPTCHA’s. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re sometimes a good idea to implement. reCAPTCHA is a free service that allows web developers to implement a CAPTCHA on their form with virtually no effort. And did I mention it is a free service? Well, that’s not entirely true.

In exchange, reCAPTCHA is putting the user challenge responses to good use. The service uses scanned in text for the CAPTCHA. The idea is that all the time spent “solving” CAPTCHA’s online can be channeled into assisting optical character recognition programs in decoding the hard to decode scanned in words. Neat, eh?

I put together the following reCAPTCHA in literally 3 minutes. For more information and to put your own reCAPTCHA into action, check out the site here: http://recaptcha.net/
