Were you in Firefox, by chance? There was a difference in the FF evaluates the JS, versus Webkit, when retrieving document.form, so I switched it to getelementbyid.

Just attribute it to RoboHash.org, that should be fine.

I'm surprised no one's posted anything from set2 or set3, or included any backgrounds ;)

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. The whole project is very silly, so it doesn't make much sense to take it very seriously ;)

Google.jpg does generate a jpg, but it's not the same as google.png; The reason for that is that I'm hashing whatever you send in, including the extension.. Otherwise, if you passed file.txt and file.mp3 they'd come to the same hash.

If you use all three sets (?set=any), plus backgrounds, that adds two additional choices, which brings us into the 100+ Million category. As a signal to review the Pubkey, that's probably enough. I could have made up more Random elements, b

Woah, That's really cool! I hadn't seen that, but yes, it's designed to be along the same idea, except more year-round friendly ;)

I love the mosiacs; They remind me of a prettier version of identicons. My concern was just that people won't remember a random pattern of dots very well.

vladev- Sure. It's on Github; Written in Python + Tornado. If you're interested, email me. I'd rather clean it up, but if you're a Python guy, you could help ;)

If you use all three sets, and enable backgrounds, the collision chance is much lower. Each Robot is made up of 6 sets of 10 choices each, plus backgrounds. It's not perfect, but it's enough to give you a basic view into "Is this the same g

Morning, I created this as an extended-weekend project, after realizing that I'd need these hashes as a part of larger project I'm working on. Basically, Text goes in, Picture of a Robot comes out. Where I'm using this is sort of like an i

The biggest mistake, IMO, if you actually want to SHIP, is using anything except the software you already know. Let me explain- Too often, projects are started pie-in-the-sky, and using everything perfectly, using the de jour framework.. Yo

Thank you! The Nagios utils look very cool. I write all my Nagios checks in Python locally, and the startup/stop through NRPE is getting to be a problem. I'd been thinking "Hrmm.. I bet I could use Tornado to fire these off inline.." and Ba

I did the same thing. Posting a question doesn't make it at ALL clear if it's done so. Do you NEED to tweet it? Otherwise, posting a question just leads to a form where you can submit (another?) question. The UI could be a bit clearer there
