Updating Zenphoto with SVN
Further to Updating Wordpress, it can be done with Zenphoto too.
SVN, Subversion, is a program for managing revisions (or versions) of software. In the way we will be using it, every time the zenphoto developers release a new version on their website, they tag that code in their svn repository. We can then check out [...]Aesir Photo Gallery – Powered by Zenphoto
The Aesir Photo Gallery is up and running. Website isn’t much yet, but photos are the most fun to look at. A website might be useful for prospective members and such to find out a bit about the crew, but hopefully the photos give a bit of an insight into the kinds of fun we [...]
Google Calendar is Sweet
Google calendar is sweet. I just created a crew calendar for Aesir (my Rover Crew) incorporating SA Rover events, public holidays and crew activities and embeded it into a webpage – took no time at all
All available in ical format for easy digestion by applications which support ical (which is an open standard [...]Graphjam
Graphjam. Not quite as funny as Lolcats, but good nonetheless.
Some of my favourites:And then I was Photoshopped
So, sweet looking photo from EV, thanks to Daniel Salmond, lets make an avatar/display picture/100×100 image from it. We’ll have me on the left hand side with sky on the right…

The solution? Use an email address you have control over. Ideally, this would involve registering your own domain name and getting yourself some hosting. From what I can tell, Godaddy offers one email address just with a parked domain, so you wouldn’t even have to organise hosting. When you buy a domain and some hosting, [...]
Don’t use your ISP email – Part 1 (Why not?)
When you sign up to an ISP they generally provide you with a free email address. DON’T USE IT!
Why not? It’s a perfectly good email address right? Wrong! It’s actually a ploy to make you stay with that ISP.
Consider that in a couple of years time, your ISP increases its prices or adjusts their [...]Heysen Trail Completion Log
I’ve spent the morning whipping up a nifty Heysen Trail Completion Log for myself. I give it the total number of km I have completed and php creates the percentage and adjusts the completion bar for me. I learnt a bit about css clipping and positioning and also how to get php running inside a [...]
Always show the location bar in Firefox
Not showing the location bar hides a very valuable piece of information from the user. There have been recent discussions on making the information it conveys even more visible to the user. Why is it then that Firefox allows websites to hide it? IMHO, the valuable nature of this information from a security perspective vastly [...]
Firefox Crop Circle
Okay, I’m VERY behind on this one, but for those of you who aren’t particularly Mozilla-ey, last year a bunch of folks in the US made a Firefox Crop circle and you can now see it on Google earth/maps. Wenzel has some screenshots.
