Bored? Get the Gimp!

Last night I was fooling around with the Gimp. Now I know that images of Pulp Fiction are probably streaming through your consciousness right now, but I am referring to the open source image manipulation software known as Gimp.

I installed a whole bunch of plugins and scripts and started messing about with them on the train early this morning. I was probably quite a site, with my headphones on and a grin plastered to my face.

Among the gems I found was a script that would create an animated spinning globe. Silly little thing really, but when you apply it to pictures of folks you work with, it becomes great fun.

Apologies to anyone who's seen spinning globes with detatched floating heads on them before.

This animated gif was created by the Spinning Globe Script-Fu in Gimp.
