A brief intro to Gallery Server Pro

2008-07-05T04:25:36Z

I've blogged very little about my photo gallery, Kevin Martin's Open Source application Gallery Server Pro. It's very impressive, full featured and rock solid. It's a media gallery and supports much more than photos, but that's all I plan to do with it for now. I really like how it handles .ZIPs of multiple images on upload and automatically extracts and processes the individual images. Uploading images is extremely easy and fast. I also love the options you have with the image...(read more)

BE.NET Sueetie: 1.4 ASPNET Membership Provider Upgrade Tip

2008-07-05T03:29:24Z

This is the first appearance of the term "sueet" in the DBVT lexicon. Think "Sweet" with a "u." I'll fill you in on all of that over time, but for now please bear with me and regard "Sueeties" as equivalent to CS Nuglets. My first BlogEngine.NET Sueetie has to do with upgrading membership from BE 1.3 to BE 1.4. I wanted to upgrade my laptop copy of BE.NET before taking it to Beach Week tomorrow and in the process encountered some membership provider issues...(read more)

Self-Evangelism

2008-07-04T16:42:20Z

At first glance the title of this post may be a little confusing for you but no worries since I’m going to talk about this term and describe it here! In the past two years and since a short while before starting my military service to now I’ve been trying to keep my skills up and train with them to avoid the disaster that has happened to many other young men in the country after the service. Beside studying and writing, I also defined some small and big projects for myself, started them, developed...(read more)

Car in ditch extraction and the social support network

2008-07-04T06:12:31Z

I read and talk about online social networks, but when you're in a difficult situation, like, say, when you drive your car into a ditch at 10 o'clock at night, you appreciate the wonder of real world social support networks. Tonight my little girl and I were watching a DVD when we heard the local fireworks. In less than 60 seconds we were in our Honda Odyssey and on the chase. I didn't stop to grab my cell phone or even put on shoes. Fortunately my little girl had the good sense to slip...(read more)

Access points to Stylin screen pics

2008-07-03T03:44:26Z

In case there was anyone out there other than me who enjoys scrolling through the Stylin screen pics and wants another way to quickly get there, I added a second access point to them tonight. (I blogged about the BE.NET particulars of the Stylin screen display list here. ) I'm trying to avoid adding a main menubar link as I had on my DBVT2007 blog, so in addition to the category link which displays the screen pics I added a link in each of the Stylin posts. I changed the CodeSmith template I...(read more)

Everyman Links for July 1, 2008

Sound investment planning for the Apocalypse. Not a lot from IT Conversations piques my interest these days, but I'll tune in to most anything about the Singularity. This enjoyable presentation by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel from the 2007 Singularity Summit titled "Financial Markets and the Singularity" suggests that we might as well invest aggressively in potential paradigm-changing technologies, cause if the singularity goes bad we're all in the crapper anyway. Here's an...(read more)
