  a similar project is lolcommits (http://mroth.github.io/lolcommits/ http://mroth.github.io/lolcommits/). I use it to cap a 5 second gif on each commit :)
- ranman 13y ago
  That's a ridiculously amusing project: http://github.com/ranman/gitshots http://github.com/ranman/gitshots I work on it from time to time... I'd love to like... design it or something. You can render a video of all gitshots for a user: http://gitshots.com/user/ranman.avi http://gitshots.com/user/ranman.avi

This combined with https://github.com/noidontdig/gitdown https://github.com/noidontdig/gitdown might make for some good late nights. I'd like to see an image cap when I'm in ballmer mode.

Oh! I immediately thought this was related to #iamdoingprogramming[1], thanks to @aphyr.[2] It's not, but there could be overlap.

Why? This is not useful for anything at all. (At least to my knowledge)
- bichiliad 13y ago
  I believe that's the point.

  Fun. You remember that?

  - BlakePetersen 13y ago
    You're correct, however I would not consider nerd selfies as pleasurable. Not Useful.
    - andrewflnr 13y ago
      You might not. Others do, apparently.
- poulson 13y ago
  Making contributing code more fun will almost certainly lead to projects receiving more contributions.
  - lcasela 13y ago
    Fair enough.

Obviously the top graphic (Octocat as Mega Man) needs to be a t-shirt. Sooner rather than later.
- omni 13y ago
  Couldn't agree more. I got it from the excellent collection here: http://octodex.github.com/ http://octodex.github.com/
  - brbcoding 13y ago
    So many of those beg to be t-shirts.
    - dtparr 13y ago
      Unfortunately, from the FAQ[1]: Q: Can I create a product containing an octocat? You may not use an octocat, created by GitHub or by you, for products or merchandise without written permission from GitHub. This includes, but is not limited to t-shirts, toys, stickers, etc. [1] http://octodex.github.com/faq.html http://octodex.github.com/faq.html

    THANK. YOU.

This is really cool, what would be even cooler though is to have them in commit messages. Sadly though, GitHub does not allow images (or very limited markdown) in commit messages. :/

  but what if you're one of those devs who likes to work naked ?

    I assume you do keep the camera roughly on your face while working.
