What will the width of the side strips be? I'm leaving work early today and going camping for the weekend so probably won't have time to work on this until mid next week.

Huh, that's interesting, and in a way addresses the main issue I was considering about representing Potrero Hill in a horizontal banner: it's a hill, the verticals are kind of a main component and were getting short shrift! (no pun intended) Perhap…

Here's some example shots. I like the idea but I was thinking I would retake them to see if I could improve.

I took a few shots last weekend and got them cropped to size, but not sure how well they'll really work out because of the text overlay thing. I can try to work out the JS code to set font color from filename like I mentioned, is the load from dir c…

Sorry I've been slow to jump on this. I was working hard to get something prepared for SXSW in Austin (where I am now). I was thinking that the javascript could additionally examine the filename for a RGB sequence and if present additionaly change t…

I found some great images on http://www.tentimesone.com/neighborhood-potrero-hill/ I'm going to get cracking on getting the rotating banner set up!

I don't have access the source code, but it's pretty easy to write a Javascript code to do exactly that — randomly display images within a directory. I can take care of that part, so just let me know if you have some images we could use. I'll start…

What is the site written in? PHP I'm guessing? Probably easier to just make a PHP script that loads a random image from a directory of images. That way to add/delete banners it's just a simple file system operation, plus it doesn't make flash a requ…

That's an awesome idea! As a fellow south-sloper, I definitely feel like the North Slope gets most of the attention. I'd previously used http://www.potreroboosters.org/photo/morning-on-the-hill as the banner image, but it felt a little...smoggy. I'm…
