Explore the world through the lens of the Flickr Interestingness stream. New photo loads every time you open a new tab

More Interestingness

Summary

This is a chrome extension which loads a new interesting photo from flickr's interestingness stream (http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting) whenever you open a new tab a new.

Clicking on the flickr user's icon will take you to that user's page, clicking on the title will take you to the photo on flickr.com

You can navigate forward/backwards by clicking out of the address bar and typing j to go forward, or k to go backwards (standard vim up/down)

moreinterestingness's Issues

Interestingness no longer works - Javascript error

Javascript error appears under new tab, and no image is loaded:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'src' of undefined
chrome-extension://ngddmdmkjnnefgggjnnnepijkcighifa/newtab.html:11

(Oddly enough, the source code in my extension does not match what's in the github repo:

Repo: https://github.com/angst/moreinterestingness/blob/master/newtab.html#L11
Me: $("#photo").attr("src", photo.src);
)

Ghostery is enabled and blocks Google tracking, but I've been running it for awhile, and it hasn't been a problem before.

Running Chrome Version 35.0.1916.153

setInterval(function, timeout) - instead of setInterval(function(), interval)

Next/previous "lags"

I know you can go to the next/previous image with j/k. But whenever I switch directions, it "lags" - starting at image 0, and pressing j, j, j, k, k, k takes me through the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 - in other words, the first k press takes me forward, instead of taking me back.
