Just did a backup after deleting the old gallery and I’ve managed to get it down form 1.5gb to 45mb largely due to the fact that i’m no longer uploading full size images + gallery makes 3 files out of 1 image.
OMG just read my last entry which said I was off for a cup of tea damn i’m getting old ha.
Well after just finishing my new gallery I had one of those ‘I ROCK’ moments you know those times when you sit back and think damn i’m good (well I hope other people have those ha). After much css and php head banging i’ve managed to embed zenphoto with serendipity and get it how I want + I imported the old entries form Dribble.
Off for a well earned cup of tea now 😛
Putting the finishing touches on the new gallery and making a backup of the old one just in case so hopefully should be finished by tonight 🙂 oh and I found a backup of my old blog so I might import them into this one.
Well after a lot of twoing and frowing i’ve decided to ditch Gallery all together I managed to get it embedded into serendipity but it still didn’t look how I wanted (I know i’m a fussy git) plus it had loads of features which I just don’t need, so I decided to try zenphoto which I used to have on my home server it’s much more suited to my needs and not so many bells and whistles plus my favourite feature is that I can create albums using directories and then just ftp the images to it which I find more reliable than URL uploading.
Hmm I’ve been tinkering with my Gallery and I think it’s time for a reinstall due to the fact that it’s the original one from like 3 servers ago so quite a bits changed since then.
Just going through a cupboard looking for something and it made me realise how much I.T stuff I still have, I need to have a serious clearout as I think a lot of it would be destined for the rubbish heap but also found a couple of things that I can sell.
After a quick look at my Gallery i’ve noticed some of the files are to large and one album is 1gig which I know in real terms is not a lot but it does make backups etc more painfull so I think i’m going to have a play to get the size of it down.
After the boy resetting my Total Control Remote for like the fourth time and giving up using the search facility of the remote which involves prssing a button like 100’s of times until you find the right one I decided to scour the web for the right code. After some digging I found out that the Wharfedale DV832B Freeview Box is actually a Goodmans GDB3 Clone so I entered the code for Goodmans freeview box 1307 and low and behold it worked!. I quickly wrote down the code for furture reference but also wanted the code for my TV without entering all the ones for Panasonic again to find it and that’s where the ‘Blink Back Function’ comes in….
Press TV
Press and hold SETUP until POWER button blinks twice.
Enter 990 (POWER button blinks twice again).
Press 1 (number of blinks is first digit of code – eg. zero blinks means first digit of code is zero)
Press 2, and count number of blinks for second digit of code.
Press 3, and count number of blinks for third digit of code.
Press 4, and count number of blinks for fourth digit of code.
And voila found out my TV is 1964
Good news after much battling Sky and Virgin have finally reached an agreement meaning Virgin customers now get Sky 1, I noticed I had it yesterday.
Funnily enough the now Virgin owned http://www.cableforum.co.uk/ previously NTLhell is now offline, it was working fine 15mins ago I suspect they’ve taken it down themselves.
