Yeah, I'm having a great time. I enjoy doing sites like that (and earlier marsglobalsurveyor.com), and I think it's because it reminds me of my days as a lab assistant in high school building stuff for others to use, lo those many decades ago. Or maybe it's satisfying to find a way to make a small contribution to science while lacking the ability to do real research--still a lab assistant after all these years...;-)
The background? That old thing? It's still around:
It's a tile from a color composite I made myself:
Once you see the full-size image, you can see from the artifacts that the color's way off. I did some aesthetic tweaking by eye to get the texture pretty, but it bears no resemblance to reality.
I posted up top the page about version 2.0. I gave it a new skin, and I like this one better. What do you think of it?
