The Problem with GIFs

So today, along with working on my other various projects, and calling Shawn from the Xbox Support line, I built my first widget!

yay!

Ok, so it doesn't really do anything right now... and I mean that, nothing at all. Originally, it was going to be a funny cylon begging on the side of the street cuz he's been replaced by CGI. And originally, his damn eye was gonna move back and forth. The first part worked out fine, but that second part proved challenging, even though I swear I had it all figured out. I got the thing moving in Adobe Image Ready. The eye moves back and forth. But when Cameron tries to save the optimized GIF of this beautifully done cylon, something happens to him. White fragments I'm quite sure I erased appear from nowhere it seems. and I simply can't have that. I'd rather have the eye static and at least have him cut out clean.

Anyways... I'll put it up on the new download page and all, but here it is... (be kind, this is version 0.2)
