Yeah, I didn't see the syntax part of the OP, but when I clicked Screenshot the first time I went there it didn't redirect me.

I just happened to be testing something at that moment. It should be working now :)

If you'd timed it even better you could have seen a blank page :P

Any suggestions? ephan suggested limiting the textarea at eight rows, and I'm trying to do that right now.

Yeah, I noticed the more-than-8-row thing too. I don't think it's really that bad, but if you don't fix it, I'd say just do a check to see if the user goes over and when they press "Screenshot" just let them know it won't all be captured or something.

Hey, that's a good idea. I have other bugs to deal with ATM though.

You know what would be a terrible, terrible idea for a new error message? This:



But yeah, inverse color support! Just wrap whatever text you want inverted with %FF in the URL. (This image is at http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:MISSING%20)%0D%0A%FF1:%FFQuit%0D%0A2:Goto.gif.)

I don't think there's another thread with as many invalid links per post as this XD

The site's been moved to clrhome.org, so Homer's at http://clrhome.org/homer/ now.

Yay for breaking even more links!

Homer has been moved one directory higher, and the URL format has changed as well. The new URLs are of the form http://clrhome.org/homer/[TEXT].[FORMAT], where [TEXT] is the URL-encoded text and [FORMAT] can be any of 'gif', 'png', or 'jpg'.

The benefit here (besides allowing JPEG and PNG images in addition to GIF) is that images are now cacheable—when you use the same URL, the image isn't fetched again, saving a lot of your browser load and server load here.

...five months later...

New:
  • Image will expand as necessary - for example to show a program's entire source (see screenshot below)
  • Support for typing →, ≠, etc. directly into the editor - should make things simpler



Changed:
  • Syntax (again) - image URL uses the actual TI character codes (linebreaks are %D6 now)
Fixed:
  • Added "compatibility mode" to fix all those broken images :D

Unfortunately, most of the broken images point to clrhome.tk (which is no more), so they're still broken.

Hmm... can we actually parse 8xp files and text files containing, for example SourceCoder stuff, because I wonder how well this would work if parsing code from Illusiat 13 event programs, for example. Would my computer's 8 GB of RAM be enough to open such image? O.O

Would Juju's server have enough RAM to generate it? :P
