At work I ran into the need to process animated GIF avatars. The source images can be of any size, and they need to be downsized to a target size with cropping to a square. Below the cut — how we solved it.

At work I occasionally have to look at some data from the database. Times we mostly store as TimeStamp (the number of seconds since the dawn of the Unix world — 1 January 1970).

A number like 1305233826 tells you nothing about what date it is. Writing the conversion in some script every time gets tedious, so I made an online converter. It shows the time in a human-readable form.
