An entire month of icons!

So many days have passed since the 24th of last month, and even more icons have been converted: 16002 total – an average of 516 per day! And the garbage collector even works — no more SSHing in every few days to delete old files for me!

The gallery is described by XML, and added to a page with a simple Javascript call.
