Day in the Life

I have work in an hour, I think it’s in Electronics, I will be aiding in the mid day rush. Tomorrow I open and help with ad put up, it will be a busy morning, I hear Wii’s are going to be in the ad, which means we should have some in, so everyone will be rushing in to buy one. It’s been out for over a year and is still the hottest item out there. Its crazy. I ran all the pictures through the script, so they are all there now, there are a number that don’t generate thumbnails, I need to try and figure out why those particular pictures don’t, but I am at a loss, there is no real reason, I guess they just don’t copy. I am going to eventually get around to modifying the styling for all browsers, Opera will only be a handful of modifications, IE has a number I need to figure out because of it’s ignorance of inline blocks. And Safari is just a mess, it doesn’t even display the navbar correctly. sigh I just want to go to Japan, I really do nothing around here other than mess around on my computer and work. I will probably spend the two days I have off this coming week trying to pump out hunks of code for the site. Maybe get the poll running or add the extra stuff to the gallery. Or maybe I will just be burnt out and end up watching movies or tv all day shrug who knows…


Server Online

I am going to be moving this server downstairs and putting it online today, after I mow that lawn that is. I have been rushing through and tried to finish most of the preliminary coding. There is a lot of AJAX behind the look and I am going to be taking the scriptaculous and prototype libraries and try to strip them down to just the functions that I need, to drop my bandwidth footprint. I will probably start working on the technology section sometime when I get to school. I am unsure of a few things I may be doing with it. I am probably going to step back from a lot of the coding once I get this online because I have been losing interest with all the work I have done on it. I guess interest is a bad choice of words, I would say I have been running out of creativity.

I would love any comments you have on the design, so please leave some, and have a look around, the gallery albums will be populated at some point when I decide to add the last bit of the code to the python script.


New Entry

So I have been working hard at bettering the new round of code for this site. I have been learning foreign file uploading, since before, all things I did were through the samba shared drive of the files themselves. Now I can remotely upload files, specifically pictures or zip files, then run my handy dandy python script which will do all the maintenance of the albums, including unzipping a set of pictures.
