Flickr

Ok people…

For a while now I’ve used Gallery2 - ever since it came out actually. Before then, I used Gallery1. You can see the pattern. I now have 17GB of files and am starting to feel the pinch.

Someone sell the Flickr idea to me. Is it better than Gallery2, worse? Pros, cons? It’s gotten to the stage that I am no longer uploading photographs to the website due to the space requirements. Will Flickr save my day?

Embedded Video

Having just ditched WPVideo in favour of CoolPlayer, I can finally embed Ogg Theora files into my blog entries! So here’s a short list of updates…

RoombaCam
AJAX Talk
Climbing Cats

Can’t watch Ogg Theora files on Windows? Try downloading and installing this codec installer from Illiminable

SMART

Sods law isn’t it… You spend half an hour or so prodding and persuading SMART to monitor the hard disks in all your critical machines, only to find that the machine with the oldest (and thus most likely to die) hard drive doesn’t support SMART. Thankfully it’s just the router, which can be replaced at short notice. They’ve all been enabled with full attribute logging and autosave, online collection, daily and weekly testing. This should hopefully keep an eye on the ever increasing number of disks used within my machines. I’ve also enabled it on Lovelace, our shared server, for added security.

In other news, I’m just back from a weeks holiday on the continent. Mostly spent in Strasbourg, but we also managed to squeeze in a visit to Dave in Utrecht. Photos and a writeup will be up shortly (along with a Barcelona writeup too, I guess :-)

Archives

That’s 2 years of old blog posts imported from my crufty old blog, courtesy of Wordpress’s RSS import mechanism. It even imported the photo links that I’d somehow written into the posts. Superb stuff :-)
