Goings On

April 4th 2007

Lots of stuff been going on with me recently, best covered in list form:

I took a small vacation last weekend and went Kayaking on Folsom Lake. It was fun. Much more upper-body exercise than I normally get

I thought of a fun little new site and I need some opinions on it—it would be a repository of CSS style sheets that work with any well-formed XHTML page without modification. Real simple, real useful. Tell me what you think.

Zenphoto 1.0.9 should be out soon, it just needs more testing. Check out the SVN and get to work! After that it should be no more than a couple months before 1.1 is fully ready, finally. Whew.

My new computer is awesome. It’s incredible to have 2GB of RAM and practically never run out. I am satisfied.

I got a featured picture on Wikipedia! Sweet!

Anyone know of any good albums out recently? I’m getting tired of what I’ve been listening to and need something new…

Yep. That’s pretty much it. More interesting reading later!

What are you using to display your tunes? I’d like to know because I’d be curious to check it out myself.

Thanks Dean, I wrote it myself! It gets its data from a Winamp plugin that I use which just POSTs the song info to any URL. From there I just wrote up some PHP to keep a database and display the songs.

The coolest part is actually how it gets the cover images… it doesn’t use Amazon or any web service, instead parses Google Images searches, which turn out to be extremely reliable. Shhh.. don’t tell google

You made mention of a site with css examples but I didn’t find an url associated with it. I’d be happy to look at it and see what you got since I’m a CSS retard.

Sorry Bernard, it’s just an idea at this point. There’s no actual site yet Try searching for “CSS Tutorial” or something.

Thanks for explaining that. If you ever decided to release it, make sure you let me know!
