Hello.  I can't remember who pointed me at this (Mark or
Bob, I think), but
it's very cool:
  http://browsershots.org/


It's a distributed way of getting screenshots of your
website in various
browsers.  Anyway, I'm not posting it here so much to say
you should all go
and use it, since I know lots of you hate webwork anyway,
but because I
thought maybe some of you might be able to help them out.

In order to get these screenshots, they need computers to
take them.  They
have software to do this automatically - all you need is a
computer running
the appropriate browser/OS combination, and the bandwidth to
upload the
results.  More info here:
  http://trac.browsershots.org/wiki/HowToCreateNewShotF
actory

The more people they have creating screenshots, the faster
my screenshot
requests move up the queue, and the happier I am.  Make Kake
happy today!

What a wonderful new vector for people to exploit machines
through 
browsers...

Hang about! There's no Lynx support! *runs off in a huff*

So run it on a disposable machine/virtual machine in your
dmz. Hey you 
could even set it up to reimage its self every hour.

Ooh, cool idea. It *does* sound a bit like, as Nigel
mentions, opening
up your computer to attack though.
