Music to your eyes - probably the world's coolest dynamic signature image...

ampsig.com

This is a brilliant system. Not the easiest, but I guess if you are looking for something like this without the hastle, then the public beta they have on offer is the bomb.

I was actually trying to get a php-based random quote generator working to include quotes in a forum sig. Obviously I quickly ran into the security on forum systems - no way in hell they will let you run php code on their system - way too dangerous!

So enter ampsig. After much experimenting and playing with the system, I have settled on this for now:

Also the random quote on the top right of all gpax.org pages use ampsig as well. Looks a lot better and now the search engines should stop using the random quote in the gpax.org description....

It was about 8 hours getting Apache, php and ampsig sorted. I had a ball getting mod_rewrite working, so not all the time was spent understanding ampsig. AMIP is very straightforward - but for the above sig I am not using it. However adding artist, track and position info is really simple!

The sample scheme's provided with the download are pretty cool - you can see them here. The possibilities are endless.....

I am looking at getting it to work with MySQL for the random quotes - for starters. Being able to store user info in a DB would be good as well....
