\"OS<\/a>
PCB Photo Pool Screensaver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my favorite ways to keep tabs on the Printed Circuit Boards Group<\/a> on Flickr<\/a> is with OS X’s built-in ability to turn an RSS feed<\/a> into a screen saver, as shown above.<\/p>\n

To create this cool and constantly changing screen saver, open the “Desktop & Screen Saver” pane of the OS X System Preferences, as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"Desktop<\/a><\/p>\n

Click the + button and select “Add RSS Feed…”\u00a0 OS X will prompt you for an RSS feed URL to use for the screen saver.\u00a0 Enter<\/p>\n

http:\/\/api.flickr.com\/services\/feeds\/groups_pool.gne?id=812901@N20&lang=en-us<\/pre>\n
and click OK.<\/p>\n
Make sure that the Display Style is set to “Collage” mode (the center option) as shown above.\u00a0 Click Test and you should see photos from the pool appear on your screen.\u00a0 Now the next time your screen saver activates, you should see a collage of cool photos from the PCB photo pool.<\/p>\n
That’s it!<\/p>\n
PS. If anyone knows of an equivalent screen saver for Windows or Linux, please let me know in the comments.\u00a0 I don’t want OS X users to have all the fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
