XVMB: XVMB Vault of Marketing Bollocks

Every 5 seconds it picks a new item from the database, a random background image, a random rotation (using the CSS3 transform rotate property) and a different font (from font squirrel). It also picks a random position based on the current browser width and height.

jQuery UI draggable is used to allow each note to be moved around the screen. It also moves this note to the top of the pile by changing the z-index, in case it's been hidden under newer notes.

It has a submission form in the top right corner that uses ajax to add new notes without having to lose the current list. It is IP restricted - if the site recognises your IP address then you can add new content, otherwise it's kept in a queue for validation.

Here's the JavaScript file that controls the notes.

The source code is available from github.
