Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

Photo Archiving

As I always seem to be...

Remote Desktop

Just configuring Remote Desktop on the various upstairs PCs and it seems to be working well. If I try over the net, I'll probably use either TightVNC, RealVNC or PCAnywhere but figured on the home LAN this should be fine security-wise. One down side is that depending what I'm doing, I occasionally open up a new instance of Firefox, and create tabs. Of course, if you have three tabs instances on three RDs, you, well I, can get a bit lost.

Sure it will come with time.

For a quick and dirty howto, seeWOWN.com.

Tidying Archives

Just looking at the regex code for the archive links, adjusting the menus slightly. Might think about altering the underlying code for the burn section with a view to changing the alt-tags to be more expressive rather than just the negative number.

No really, it is just stuff and wotnots and things and stuff...

Photo Work

Currently looking at better ways to do the photo section of the site ie /burn/
If I upload static minis and harcode to 96x96, I will need to increase the scale to 14%, although I am not sure the effect on tabs/borders.
Perhaps also looking at using the Keywords to list the photo name and hardcode everything else into the templates.

Will need more investigation.
