Gallery Time!
May 30, 2007
So, you may have noticed that there's now some additional things on the sidebar to the right. That's right, I'm finally getting off my ass and organizing my photos into a browsable gallery. No more, "Where's Babbles' pic on Caturday again?".
If you're interested, I did in fact write the code that generates the gallery. Warning, it's hackish and hastily written. Then again, it works and it does what it does pretty simply. If you're actually interested in using it yourself, you can tell that there are some support files used - I can explain them if you contact me here.
Anyway, enjoy more pictures of Babbles!

looking nice. now if you can advance the thumbnail automagically to the next item in a given interval, that would be secksy. i didn't know you know Python ?! :)
about lunch.. i'm a little strapped, financially speaking - we will have to postpone until next payday (not this friday, but next). Sorry :(

David, I thought about having it automatically advance on scrolling. The only issue is that I don't want to have a whole page of thumbnails load up in order to detect scrolling. Just one page of thumbs is enough to rape my connection but good. :) I'll have to think about it though.
Heh, man. I know C, C++, Ruby, Python, PHP, a bit of Perl, BASH, a bit of objective-C for Cocoa, Javascript, *shudder* Java, C#, *vomit* VB6 and probably a myriad of other languages that I forgot. Oh ya, HTML - I hear it works similar to C. ;p I've been toying with Python a lot more lately though, which is why that gallery script was written in it. I also wrote a brute force zip cracker that I'll probably post soon. I should write a syntax highlighting routine for my blog so I can post 'em prettily. :)
Lunch is fine. I was busy committing some code to our production server anyway. I would have been nervous the whole time anyway. You get paid next Friday? What a weird paydate.

yea, every 2 weeks, fridays. i've been seeing python related "news" alot lately - at least it seems like i have. Brute force zip cracker? lol.. was that just a personal challenge type project or was it something you needed? :)
why did you *shudder* when mentioning Java?

I haven't really seen much about Python lately, I just kind of decided to toy with it a bit more than usual. I had a zipfile a friend sent to me awhile ago (Hi James!) that was encrypted. I idly needed access to it, so I decided "what the hell? Let's do this!" and away I went. Of course, it's still trying to crack it. heh.
I hate Java with passion. It's just so... convoluted and messy to work with when compared with the other higher level languages available today.
