another question

anybody know how they do this? (these used to come with spam
constantly a few years ago, now i never see em?)

http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=http%3A%2F%2Frhizome.org
(%3A = "/", try any URL you want)

Java, CGI/PHP (with graphics library extensions) all do parts but can
find hardly any documentation about this.

Cool. Yeah, I'd guess they stitched together:

1. some sort of free software HTML rendering engine to turn HTML and
pics into a graphic. Probably the Mozilla engine or the Konqueror
engine.
2. ImageMagick or GD to shrink & crop that image.

Or maybe there's an easier way to do it that I'm not thinking of now.
