Most of the people who really know me know that I have a touch of magic when it comes to computers. When you've got these sort of skillz it's best to put them to good use for the rest of humanity, no point keeping the good stuff to yourself. So spawns my latest creation - the X-Factor Compiler.
I don't want to bore the none nerds among you but essentially the X-Factor Compiler is a mathematically based image generation system (remember fractals anybody?). It takes all the comments about X-Factor from Facebook, reduces the text down to its core hex and applies weighted values from a given formula to generate a 2 dimensional array of 24-bit numbers, or as we like to call it, an image.
This weeks X-Factor source included:-
"... Team Katie, you go girl... You show em."
"Rebecca or Matt to win - amazing, best singers ever!"
"does know one realise whilest their voting katie to stay in their keeping that idiot in the sooner the pair of them go the better!!"
and the image generated

I can't be 100% sure but it does have some resemblance to Quasimodo eating a dog turd.
