Tumblr, RMagick and a Photo Frame! - igvita.com

Over the course of the past year or so, I got myself into a habit of using Tumblr for storing insightful snippets and quotes from my daily endeavours on the internet. Usually, this entails saving a paragraph (too long for tweet, and not enough for del.icio.us) so I can revisit it later.

However, having Tumblr to save the quotes is nice, but I rarely (if ever) went back to read them. Pondering this dilemma, I spotted my Phillips digital photo frame, and a quick weekend project was born: Tumblr API, RMagick to render the images, and an SD card full of wisdom and quotes for easy consumption!

どっちかって言うと、書いてる理由が面白い。要は「Tumblrの引用は面白いけど一々見に行くのめんどいよね！ならって事でデジタルフォトスタンドを使っちゃおうと思った」て感じかな。

動かすにはrubyのImageMagick拡張rmagickが必要。
私はPhillips digital photo frameは持ってないけど、chumbyとか使うと良く似た事出来るのかな？
ソースはそのまま使えました。日本語はImageMagickがghostscriptを使ってるのでTrueTypeフォント直接指定すれば動きます。
