Remember how my sig used to have the daily Dilbert comic strip? That linked to an image that automatically updated itself, grabbing the image directly from the Dilbert website. Unfortunately, the way Dilbert's RSS worked changed, and apparently broke that.
I recently found a script by the same guy, which I'm pretty sure works. Thing is, I don't think there's an actual implementation of it anywhere that I link from. So I was wondering, anybody know how exactly I would go about doing something like this? Here's the code, it's in JavaScript.
Ideally I would want to be able to put it in a file or something and link it from my Dropbox, if possible. If an actual web domain is required that could be a bit tricky for me. Either way, I just want to know how to do this at all.

Code:

var now = new Date();
var day = now.getDate();
var month = now.getMonth() + 1;
var year = now.getFullYear()%100;
var dayofweek = (now.getDay() == 0) ? 's' : 'd';
if (day < 10) day = '0' + day;
if (month < 10) month = '0' + month;
document.write('<img src="http://thedilbertstore.com/images/periodic_content/dilbert/dt' + year + '' + month + '' + day + dayofweek + 'hct.jpg">');
