Hello everyone,

I've made a short script that sets the current PoD from pinkbike as your desktop wallpaper.
I've only done limited testing on it so far but it seems to work on the couple of computers that I've run it on.

Download windows10 version here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hvyrh1ufyu41cc0/AAAoJEFnH1qpwQCwM9SPFSc3a?dl=0

Download Ubuntu version here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/71anfmwcdkegqq3/AADUULv0pUxnWWVGAkNKZqdBa?dl=0

To use, simply download the folder from the link above then open the folder and double click the "PinkbikeWallpaper.exe" file to run the program.
The program may take a little while to complete depending on your internet speed as it has to download the full resolution photo from pinkbike.

If interested the actual code can be found here: https://github.com/Andrew-Mackay/DailyPinkbikeWallpaper

If you setup your operating system to run the script on start-up you should end up with a new desktop background each day.

Any feedback would be appreciated! Smile

*If the current PoD is a portrait style photo then the background may look a bit funny, for the next version I plan on adding a filter to solve this issue.
