So I don't have anything that changes daily - I was w0rking on a project that took retro magazines in .PDF format and auto-formats them and displays in SIX... I got stuck up because I can't display TWO SIX files side-by-side - when you write a SIX 'over top' another SIX, there is dithering b/c of the way SIX files are drawn on screen...

HOWEVER, I also have played around w/ animations (animated GIFs, converting video to GIF and then SIX...) and video. There is an FFMPEG-SIXEL project on github that is promising...

At any rate, I thought the NASA pic of the day was really awesome for displaying using SIX; and I bet with some tweaking, if one wanted, you could get the other formats converted - its just a pain.

Sounds interesting, but I hate to think how much data that would consume.

As far as graphics so, should be easy. ImageMagick provides a lot of conversion tools.

Thanks,
