After I made this ultra-cool Google Gadget I got couple of other ideas, and since I've also been home from work (sick) the last couple of days I've had some extra time to spare, and here's the result of that:



It's a dynamically created image that's updated/unique for everyone who sees it.
It presents the country based on your IP, and finds your browser and operation system based on your User Agent..
Pretty "high-speed" eh??

It's not 100% yet, so I've just made this sample for now, but since most of the coding has already been done it's pretty easy for me to use any background and present the text in any way I want, so if you have any suggestions to other images, text strings etc. please post them here, and I'll see what I can do about it..

If you want to display this image as your signature on other forums you can use the code below.
But beware; The image/code isn't 100% complete yet, so there may/will be changes to it!

[url="http://www.spyber.com/"][img]http://www.spyber.com/sig-27111.png[/img][/url]

Or if you want to display it on your site(s) you can use this code:

<a href="http://www.spyber.com/"><img src="http://www.spyber.com/sigimage.png" border="0" /></a> 

Don't copy and paste the image since it won't work then...
Use the code (w/the links) above instead, and don't use the image without linking to www.spyber.com.

Created three more samples today:

As you (probably) can see, I'm a coder and not a graphics artist so if anyone have any suggestions to good background images I'd be more than happy to try them..

How do u make these? I'm curious...

You've been home on paid sick leave and spent time in front of the computer developing these cool gadgets just for us?

Nice, very nice... Good work there Redleg!

Pure PHP/MySQL/GD magic..

and it continues to change

These samples may change a bit while I'm improving the code.
But it should hopefully be complete soon.

Next step will be to create (lots) more backgrounds to choose from, and I'll also make make a system where it will be easy to customize what info you want to display on the images, and you will also be able to choose how you want to display it (font type, color, size, text etc..)

I'm ON-FIRE today..

1000 custom made forum signature images now available (sort of... ) !!

I'm trying to develop a script now where you can customize the signature images a lot, and it's actually 1000 different images available now...

You can see the progress on my work on this page:
http://www.spyber.com/signature.html

But please do not use any of the images in any forums yet since there will be changes!!
And I'm not done with the background images either (as you probably can see)..

Any other suggestions to the text I could/should use there??
The dynamic info I can present is: OS (Operation System), BROWSER, IP and COUNTRY (+flagg).
The rest of the text is static, but it's easy for me to change it..

The colors are also randomly picked, but please post here if you want to see any other colors in there
(I don't want to have more than 10 in total available right now)

The preview image and code text are presented using AJAX (for the techy ones of you)..

impressive

I was shocked at first, but when I read more, it made sense

Shocked? Why??
Because it's soo cool??..
