Made of paper and camera and me. I was bored.

(I had to use scissors to cut the paper to size, and I had to glue my camera tripod back together, so it's OK isn't it?)

# It does
through the magic of PHP trickery, it will select the correct pictures for the day.

The full set of pics are here:

And the code is free for anyone to use FWIW.

(I'm working on a clock using photos of me and semaphore flags, but I can't get the thing to show local time, only German time. gnaaaahh)

# Is your server located in Germany?

You can set UK time in PHP:

// Set Timezone
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
// Output long date
print date("l, d F Y H:i:s (T)")
