Circuit Bending Challenge - Live Photos Screensaver

I thought it would be fun to show the photos of people participating in the Circuit Bending Challenge from all over the world while we worked on our projects tomorrow. I put together my first-ever Quartz Composition in Leopard, and it works a charm!

Well, in Leopard, that is. Unfortunately, when I tried it out in Tiger I got nothing. Sigh. It mostly has to do with the differences in the RSS parsers between Leopard’s QC and Tiger’s QC. I spent some time poking around at it in Tiger but just couldn’t get it working, and it’s Saturday night so I’m going to give it a rest

If you’re one of the brave souls who’ve taken the jump to Leopard already, give it a download and run it full-screen tomorrow!

As a bonus – there’s a setting at the root of the patch to switch between the Circuit Bending Photo stream and the Create Digital Music Group Pool photo stream.
