Topic: Cute Overload Clock

Cute Overload Clock seems to be acting up for a while.  It never loads an image.  Maybe it can be repaired.

Re: Cute Overload Clock

Hmmm working on the site, not on the device - will investigate...

Re: Cute Overload Clock

OK, fixed this widget - with some caveats.  Cute Overload is mostly using videos now, so in the case of videos, what is displayed is the thumbnail, which is a fairly small image, which is scaled up, so they'll be a bit blurry.  For items that are truly images it should use the image, though resampled for 320x240.

Cute Overload changed their feed to use https with a newer version of SSL than the chumby supports, so I'm now bouncing the images off one of our caching proxies.  Why cute animal photos need to go over a secure connection is beyond me, but, whatever.

It's the subliminal messages to kill people embedded in the kitten videos that they're trying to protect.

Re: Cute Overload Clock

Thanks for the widget repair.

Re: Cute Overload Clock

I only see the Cute Overload logo on my device. Same on chumby preview page.

Re: Cute Overload Clock

Yep, looks like it broke again - looking into it

Re: Cute Overload Clock

It appears that a third-party image resizing proxy that this widget was using has gone dark.

I'll need to find an alternative or build a replacement.

Re: Cute Overload Clock

OK, should be working again.
