This little script displays random GIF images from a directory in your server's directory structure. Written in AppleScript, you must edit it to fit your particular site. The program works and effectively creates a sort of slide show. It is a good demonstration of what AppleScripting can do with files when combined with your Web server. Other than that, in its present form, it serves little utility. Give it a try.
