Thanks to Melanie, my archives are now monthly – taking up less real estate and you still get a weeks worth of stuff from me on this web page. Thanks for pointing out the obvious Melanie – I should have checked that out again!
I’ve also remembered why I was not going to go monthly on the archives in Blogger. If I do that, then it means there are a month worth of posts on the main page, which can then take a long time to load. (although as I don’t use tables it does load sequentially rather than waiting for the whole lot to be downloaded before displaying anything).So thats why. If you don’t like the amount of space the archive listing takes up, then disable them from being shown by using the customisation options in the top right hand corner of the web page.
Added the Fishtank photo album as Kristen has sold the tank. These shots were taken on the last day we had it. They’ve gone to a local home and the guy who’s brought it seems to be real keen on the fish. Album was generated using Web Album Generator (which I like to use for the layout of the thumbnails across the top of the page and it’s navigation) and E-Mage for the Web to create the thumbnails over the top of the thumbnails that WAG creates. I am not happy with the quality of the pictures that WAG creates – it would be nice to choose the compression rates. I’m probably going to write my own ASP html album generator to create the pages similar to WAG but use prebuilt thumbnails from external sources such as E-Mage. I’d write the thumbnail generator myself except a) I don’t know how and b) most of the existing asp frontends require you to install a dll or com object on the server which I and other people would not have access to.
A couple of weeks ago I shot this picture of a waterfall. It looked quite nice, but stank something awful! I was quite pleased with the end result though. Click on the thumbnail for the usual fullsize picture.
Courtesy of Lockergnome, this utility lets you see the passwords saved in IE’s autocomplete and outlook express for the currently logged on user. For shared access pc’s this could be very interesting! Definately one to go in my techsupport folder on my USBDrive
I’ve edited out the K3 posts just in case someone says something :-). Was at work yesterday and we had three calls during the whole day. One was from a company that had asked me to dial in and change the ip address on their server (why they couldn’t do it themselves I don’t know) but had unplugged the power to the modem AND changed the phone number…not sure how they expected us to dial in though!
I was trying to find the right click menu option in IE that allows me to view all linked images from a webpage in another window – saves opening each image individually. Quick google search later and I find the option again so I could install it on my work pc. You may want to use it yourself – its good for album shots etc and is available from dheb
Happy Christmas everybody! This will be it from me today as I have family stuff to do.
Marc Mailing List Archives is a good archive of techie mailing lists – well worth bookmarking!
Not that I’m going to encourage piracy, but the new sneaky method of bands that are logging what tracks you listen to on their cd’s just makes you want to download the mp3 versions so you don’t get this bandware software installed on your pc! More details
