weblog/photolog by Milo Vermeulen milov.nl

I'm a 32-year-old webdeveloper living in Wateringen, working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This is my personal weblog. Sometimes I make art with code. I like to make lots of photos, of which I post my faves here.

photographic favicons

Tee hee, each photo entry on this site now gets as a unique favicon a 16x16 version of the photo itself. Looks kinda neat when you open a bunch of them in tabs (try it out by middle-clicking some of the id numbers of the entries below).

I love it when ideas go from thought to successful implementation in less than 10 minutes.

Update: adding a photo to this entry so you can see it in action right here...

Oh, and this only works in a browser that supports .jpg favicons, so you Internet Explorer users won't notice anything (not that favicons ever work correctly in IE anyway).

I love this trick! Never seen it before either, now I think about it.

…and yet another idea I have played with in my head, but that was actually realized by Milo! ☺ By the way, did you just impliment them for your color domains (http://fff.milov.nl/, etc.), or did they already have those?

Funny, I was just about to mention those... I added them a while ago actually: http://milov.nl/2544#comment6341
...based on a completely separate idea and script, as it happens ☺

Clever. Couldn't you extend it so that the top level domain favicon is the most recent photo, too?

Indeed... thanks for reminding me what triggered this whole idea in the first place. Per-entry favicons were easier so I've done those first.

Interresting idea

It'd be cool to have the photographic favicon on the pages of full size photos, e.g. http://milov.nl/2005/06/rotterdam-crossing

You're right, that is cool. And now it's working.
