4chan image scrubber

Finally, here's my 4chan image scrubber. It scans /b/ every 10 seconds and grabs all of the images, and then randomly throws them on your screen once a second. I've written more about it here and here. It's a pretty simple program with disastrous results.

This is the second release version, and it has pretty solid garbage collection. It has successfully run in a gallery for 12 or so hours at a time, but it could probably go a lot longer. It runs on Java, so make sure you have the latest Java Virtual Machine on your computer. Macs just need to run Software Updates, Windows should visit the provided link, and Linux depends on your distro. Also, if 4chan is down, this program probably won't even start. I have put this under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, so feel free to fiddle with it using Processing.

WARNING: THE IMAGES FROM 4CHAN CAN BE REALLY HORRIBLY DISTURBING AND AWFUL. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO 4CHAN, PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT COMES UP. THERE MIGHT BE ILLEGAL IMAGES. Visit 4chan if you dare, and go to the Random board at your own peril.
