is anything happening?

it doesn't take a genius to realise that it's good to let your users know that something is actually happening behind the scenes of your brand spanking new ajax app, particularly if you're relying on external resources to send you the data that the user wants. but if, like me, you find creating animated gifs a bit tedious, and you get bitter that you're wasting time when you could be writing code, what you need is an animated gif, loading sequence, generator. if only.

what? oh, right...

it turns out that there is such a thing. at the moment, it only creates one style, but you can customise the background colour and the dots colour to match you site (mmmm, white and grey for me then), but i guess if this thing get's really popular, we may be offered all sorts of crazy sequences soon.

get generating.
