One internet phenomena that seems to be popular at Mozilla (at least, for some people) is rediculously cute animals and broken english in both in spelling and grammar known as lolspeak. So much so that Paul O’Shannessy (zpao if the name doesn’t ring a bell) created the bookmarklet that takes flickr images and turns them into canvas drawing overlaying text to it (called LOLify). The bookmarklet was based off of flolcatr, which brings more lols (well, some of the time anyways. The true lols come of the pics of middle-aged women).

Using that as inspiration, I worked on turning into a Firefox extension. Particularly because I wanted more flexibility out of it. For example, right now the bookmarklet takes random stuff out of the flickr comment and puts them into the image. But I wanted to add in my own stuff to either the top, middle, or bottom of the image and be able to align it left, centre, or right.

After spending all night doing it (I was afraid I would lose interest or get lazy if it took more than one day to complete), I uploaded what I had to addons.mozilla.org. After a good nap, I went back and fixed some pretty ugly errors and uploaded a much better version. I ended up with the name of kyoote (cutie), because it’s one of the words used to describe a fennec. And fennecs are extremely unrepresented as cute animals, even though they are adorable. And from today forward, let friday also be known as fen[nec]day.
