this assumes that all comics are saved as xkcd-[number]-[title].{png|jpg}.
it will then download the title and alt-text, create pictures from them, and put everything together in a new png-file.
it's not perfect, but it worked for nearly all my comics.
it uses the xkcd-json-interface.
though it's poorly written, it doesn't completely break on http://xkcd.com/859/

expandurl http://t.co/LDWqmtDM
This just output your external IP, no extra characters at the end of line.

Encrypt any text to MD5 , replace text with the string you want to convert to MD5
