the *easiest* way to do it would be manually, in photoshop, by creating an output-size document, then an x by y 'tile' document, with your source image as a layer. Start by aligning your source image to the top-right. Take a copy, paste in other document. Move back to 'tile' document, shift source image layer by x pixels horizontally, rinse'n'repeat until you've done a full row, then shift the source layer y pixels vertically, rinse repeat etc.
I'm sure you could probably cut time by clever management - ie. only limit the width of your source tile document, do your horizontal repeats then mask off each row vertically (does that make any sense?).
*Easy*, but slow. And maddening.
Either that, or do something clever in java/action-script.
Or, rip off these guys' code, search replace the image tag, then do a screengrab. Though that'd be pretty shit for print.

(Dec 4 06, 03:23)I tried doing this in InDesign one day. To say the process tried my patience would be a major understatement.
I nearly killed my co-worker from sheer frustration

make a nudge and save copy action, do it 500 times to the same image, run it though contact sheet
