Broken again. Find a better way.

Had a closer look at this while working on #4. The problem is flickriver just randomly deciding to not output the normal HTML page. Maybe some scraping protection, or them running out of api calls. I see currently no other way to get the functionality of getting a random image from a flickr group, short of implementing this on a server on my own – but that would take more time than I can invest in izulu currently.

If someone wants to help out here to restore the functionality of falling back to flickr images, that would be highly appreciated.

1.0 fixes this partly and adds a better fallback to the generic image.
