I think I may have solved my reading list problem I mentioned earlier. By downloading and installing Open Media Lending Database into my Uniform server installation I now have a mini library system which even allows me to check out items to friends etc.
Installation notes in the extended entry.
From Rhyley.org are some more flickr greasemonkey scripts. I’ve added flickrPhotoPageEnhancer.user.js and FlickrThumbnailsEnhancer.user.js
Note that you will need to edit these scripts (and others) to include the www*.flickr domains as flickr have broken a lot of scripts by hosting some pages at www-us.flickr.com after their servers were moved.
flickr.comments.toggle enables you to view the comments on the right hand side of the screen whilst viewing the photostream. Saves having to open each picture individually.
Just tagging greasemonkey scripts.
gmapscaches.user.js
List of free hosting suppliers for the Visual Studio 2005 beta. They enable you to get .net experience with sql without needing another w2k3 server or extra software on your development machine/lan.
By following the clues at movalog I’ve managed to get a static page working with MT which means that I can write individual pages that include MT layout and data. This allows me to create pages such as About Me, Contact etc.
Note that I’m still using the static pages I’ve had for these examples but eventually I’ll get round to updating them.
Ultravnc is now out as version 1.0 as opposed to being in permanent beta and one really cool feature is the use of a small exe that you can put on a web server, get people to download and run it (yes I know that *could* be a problem but then again if you are going to let someone remote control your pc then you have that trust already implied) and it opens up a reverse vnc session to your listening vnc console on the desktop. You agree to the session and you then have remote control of their desktop.
From a quick play that i had this afternoon, this SingleClick feature worked really well.
The instructions for doing this are not very well documented in my opinion so here is how to get it working (quickly). I’ll update more once I get more experience with the application.
Scriptx has an activex control you can use to enable you to automatically print pages but NOT display the dialog box. Might be handy in a kiosk environment where you don’t want users fiddling with the print settings….actually make that ALL environments 🙂
I’d heard the song on the In The Trenches podcast but this morning (ok I’m 4 days late) I clicked on the video link for the Systems Administrator song. I really liked the way he did the capslock…
If you’ve not heard the song or seen the video then its highly recommended.
