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 [...]Ramble Report
I’ve been spamming my Rambler’s Badge Report around a bit lately, but if you haven’t seen it, check it out! The basic gist of it was that I organised I hike in the Flinders with 4 other Rovers - Anton, Kate, Jess and Nat. We walked 126km over 7 days and had an awesome time. [...]
Graphjam
Graphjam. Not quite as funny as Lolcats, but good nonetheless.
Some of my favourites:Helium Balloons, Mirrorballs and Christmas
Note to self, don’t release helium balloons around your mirrorball/s.
Also, don’t make Christmas trees with your Jewish Joey.
So Roverball was fair awesome. The week leading up to it was pretty busy, but everyone had a great time on the night. Not sure about the budget as yet though. Some photos are at the GRovers [...]Don’t use your ISP email - Part 2 (What to use instead)
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, [...]
What Wonderful Hands
I don’t usually go in for forwarding emails around - I figure if people are looking for funny/cool jokes/photos/videos, there’s the whole internet out there. In this case I’m making a half exception and posting it on my blog since I don’t force anyone to read it.
Strongly recommended viewing: Some awesome shadow puppetry.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 [...]I want to go hiking!
I want a bumper sticker for my bed that says “My Other Bed is a Therm-a-rest!”
Just spent a whole long weekend at home due to being sick I got so delirious at one point I was going to go hiking for 3 days by myself, I planned the whole route, looked at campsites, public [...]
