This reminds me of something I started many years ago (2007-03-10) I wanted to track my mood throughout the day and eventually over years to see how different events and times of the year effected me, does anyone know of anything that exists for that now? (only slightly related, please forgive me)

Something we put together back in '98 and one of the guys still keeps it running: http://www.imood.com It's not what you would call "well designed", but it was fun back in the day and managed to get a bunch of users back then.

"(or use a css sprite)" You mean like this one... http://smyfaceimages.s3.amazonaws.com/moods_orange.png ? (yes, it's a bit of a mammoth image, but that's animation for you...)

hm strange. for me, the first time I loaded the page and whizzed the slider back and forth, it felt like each face was loading separately (faces were half-loaded etc). or it could have been just the large sprite was still downloading as I was sliding the bar. in which case, probably best to preload it :)

Why did you choose to divide the image into lines? Wouldn't one long line (or tall column) make the code a bit simpler?

Funny idea! The magic slider doesn't work in FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS X.

FWIW: Worked fine on my FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS X ...on 10.6.6 mbp EDIT: no extensions on my FF

I had it as one tall column originally, but it turns out that one particular browser (Firefox, I think it was) refuses to render 44200px-high images.
