I used gwget to grab all the images in /Pics/, ImageMagick to make them
PNGs, and pngcrush -brute to optimize. The result is in the attached
achieve.
The PNG+optimization should help with bandwidth, and PNG is an open
standard, so I think most would prefer it to GIF.
This is the first time I've done anything like this, so if someone spots
something odd let me know. I don't know who would be the person to
upload this, but they should probably inspect the images, to
double-check me.
